Super accueil Site magnifique Location super confortable,propre Tout le necessaire pour se sentir bien Un petit paradis Si je pouvais je mettrais 12 MERCI
Tout est merveilleux
Beer, the host Jan, and the amazing breakfast
Allllll good
Sublime vue sur le fjord et les montagnes. Accueil chaleureux et ambiance très conviviale. Espace commun très beau avec de grandes baies vitrées sur la nature magnifique 🤩. Tout ce qu’il faut pour se faire à manger et se délasser en contemplant la vue ou en papotant avec les autres invités
Rien. Tout était parfait !
Tout était parfait! L’accueil de Brigitte était chaleureux. L’emplacement est incroyable avec des vues magnifiques dans toutes les pièces de la maison. La chambre familiale est spacieuse et les espaces communs étaient cosy et parfaits poir rencontrer des voyageurs. Petit déjeuner excellent avec les meilleurs pancakes! Merci Adrien 😉 Nous reviendrons c’est certain!

Prachtig verbouwd Mooie tuin

Emplacement à proximité d’Ardara et vue magnifique, la gentillesse de l’hôte, lits confortables, dog friendly
Manque d’insonorisation dans la chambre mais c’était très calme à partir de 22h donc ça n’a pas posé problème
Le lieu, l’accueil
Rien
Excellent communication and very friendly welcome. Lots of love and care gone into decorating. Plenty of little extra touches such as European adaptors. And of course the everchanging view, rain or shine.
Brigitte and Adrien are very welcoming and friendly which makea all the difference.
Superb stay, one of the best experiences with scenic beauty where you can feel like a heavenly experience, very courteous host, very helpful and guides you with nearby spots and tips..lot of beautiful beaches and waterfalls nearby, thanks for making this stay a life time memory

We loved the friendliness and generosity of our hosts Brigitte and Adrien, the all round cleanliness and organisation of our accommodation, and the location. A bonus was the delicious home-baked Connemara scone for breakfast.

Very friendly owners, amazing view

Hosts, view, location
Amazing location and hospitality
Everything was great
Location and view of the water were absolutely magical. Host Brigitte was warm and wonderful. Her suggestions for sights and dining were perfect. Beds were very comfortable with individual mattress warmers (so cozy!). Hot showers, beautiful kitchen facilities with everything we needed. Just minutes to a sweet town with an excellent grocery store and fantastic restaurants.
L'hôtel de cet hébergement est très sympathique et serviable. La situation de ce gîte est vraiment exceptionnelle. Le petit déjeuner est parfait La salle commune est très agréable Elle a de nombreuses cartes topographiques de la région pour faire des promenades pédestres.
Notre chambre appelée "Smiley" n'avait la vue que sur le toit de la maison de notre hôte.. C'est un peu dommage.
Accueil et emplacement exceptionnels. Une adresse qu'on voudrait jalousement garder pour soi.
R.A.S
Posizione splendida , colazione ottima
The Lookout a été pour nous le plus beau, le plus paisible et le plus chaleureux des gites de notre voyage. A peine arrivés, nous avons immédiatement regretté de n'avoir réservé qu'une seule nuit ! La vue de toute les fenêtres de la maison est juste exceptionnelle. Nos enfants de 3 et 9 ans ont pour profiter du grand jardin et des petits chats. La cuisine et le salon partagés sont très cosy et invitent à se poser pour la soirée et papoter avec les autres voyageurs ou avec Brigitte, ou juste lire un livre, ou jouer un peu de guitare... Un petit déjeuner (fait maison et excellent) est compris. La propreté est irréprochable. Ardara est bien placé pour visiter le sud du Donegal ! On conseille donc cette étape les yeux fermés. Merci encore pour ce moment !
De ne pas être resté plus longtemps !
Je devrais vous dire de ne pas y aller. Je devrais vous dire que c’est le pire endroit sur Terre. Je devrais vous dire qu’il vaut mieux se casser une jambe, ou visiter un pays souffrant de la guerre. Je devrais vous dire tout cela pour garder ce joyaux caché, pour garder cet endroit secret. Je devrais vous dire tout cela pour espérer avoir une chambre pour mon prochain séjour, séjour qui passera forcément par là. Cela serait être égoïste et égocentré, tout l’inverse de ma personnalité et surtout de ce lieu. Je suis un Voyageur avant tout, je pense que peu de continents m’ont échappés, a part le grand tout blanc tout au Sud, mais peu d’endroit sur cette belle planète ne m’ont apporté autant de bien être. Ce lieu et les hôtes sont d’une beauté d’âme, ils resplendissent de bonheur et de bienveillance. Brigit est un puit sans fond sur l’Irlande même si elle n’y est pas née. Pour moi , backpackers devenant vieux, 45 ans, ce lieu est le parfait mix. Une cuisine, une pièce commune où échanger avec les Voyageurs de passage, tout en ayant une chambre pour soi. Mon séjour y a été comme un rêve éveillé. D’ailleurs je me demande si je dois y retourner tellement cela a été magique. Oublier la dernière partie, je suis sûr que mon prochain séjour sera tout aussi magique. Love, Philippe. • P.S. Je m’y suis senti tellement bien que j’ai vraiment eu du mal a prendre la route ce matin. I should tell you not to go. I should tell you it's the worst place on Earth. I should tell you it's better to break a leg or visit a war-torn country. I should tell you all this to keep this hidden gem, to keep this place a secret. I should tell you all this in the hope of getting a room for my next trip, a trip that will inevitably include a visit. That would be selfish and self-centered, the complete opposite of my personality and especially of this place. I am a traveler above all else.
Fantastic , would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area

Le look out is set in a beautiful scenery....just above the tidal sea....where the water comes in or goes out every six hours....offering a stunning view of the white sand spirals left by the water..... The house is warm and cosy and we can see the sea from the lounge thru big windows like screens... Brigitte is a very nice host and put a lot of work and love in this place. She really welcome us with her heart. Everything was clean and lovely. I highly recommend the lookout!
Nothing....there is no buses going there....but you get a lift easily from the people living around. If you have car it's also a nice base to visit the Donegal.
Although breakfast was not advertised we were given cereal, tea, coffee, bread, cheese, jam etc. and use of a well equipped kitchen
liked everything
The view was stunning, and the thoughtful touches in both the room and common areas made it feel like home. The shared bathroom was spotless, breakfast was a lovely surprise, and the kitchen was well-maintained. Clear instructions and plenty of parking made everything easy.

Wunderschöne Aussicht. Liebevoll gestaltete Räume. Herzliches Willkommen. Tolles Miteinander der internationalen Gäste
Alles wunderbar. Gerne wieder
I loved everything about this place. My room was comfortable but what makes this place special is the location. The views from the common living area are out of this world. I also loved having a kitchen so I could cook dinner. Breakfast was nice and the hosts are extremely warm and welcoming. Absolutely stay here!
Nothing.
The view over the water. The communal sitting space was inviting. The kitchen was well equipped for any traveler. The different rooms were tastefully decorated.
It was a very windy night the upstairs room was too noisy to sleep very well with the roof rattling. Breakfast wasn’t served till 9:00 and I needed to get on the road earlier so I didn’t have their breakfast to comment on. The parking in the back was tight to maneuver in.
Großartige, äußerst hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Tolles Quartier in sehr schöner Lage. Wunderbares Frühstück.
El entorno mágico de la ubicación. El personal es amable , fantásticos
Nada
Servicio excepcional, Brigitte siempre pendiente. Muy próximo a playa Maghera con fantástica puesta de sol .
The view is really magnificent. The hosts have added little touches here and there to make the stay more than "just okay". The shared bathroom was kept well cleaned. The breakfast was a lovely surprise.
It can get a bit noisy when all the rooms are occupied.
We zijn zeer enthousiast en vriendelijk ontvangen. Alles was prachtig en duidelijk georganiseerd in de hostel. Heel origineel. Fantastisch mooie omgeving. Heerlijke pannekoeken bij het ontbijt. 10/10 op alle vlakken.
Adrian and Brigitte were extremely helpful and welcoming, chatty, and prepared a healthy and varied breakfast. It was wonderful to have use of the kitchen at dinner time too. The house is in such a beautiful location, the views across the bay are stunning and the local beach was perfect for a morning dip. The beds were warm and comfortable and the room decor was excellent.
Unfortunately we could only stay for one night!
Le lieu et la vue sur la baie, la gentillesse et les conseils touristiques donnés par les hôtes, le petit déjeuner incroyable
Le vue magnifique de la pièce de vie, la possibilité d’utiliser complètement les parties communes, les petit déjeuners très complets, la gentillesse de nos hôtes.
Un endroit formidable, la vue depuis le salon est extraordinaire et reposante. La maison est très bien équipée et l'accueil incroyable. C'est l'endroit le plus agréable où j'ai séjourné en Irlande.
rien du tou! C'était parfait.
Stare al Lookout era come essere a casa propria, ma con una vista migliore. Host molto accogliente e camera perfetta
Very good, particularly the freshly made croissants
bunk beds a bit cramped
Beautiful location close to lots of other beautiful places. I arrived in the dark and woke up to a gorgeous view of the water and mountains. Super clean with a relaxed welcoming cosy atmosphere. Staff were lovely and extra helpful with recommendations for the area.
Nothing to complain about at all
La vue sur la baie est magnifique. Les hôtes sont très accueillants et prennent le temps de nous conseiller sur les choses à voir et à faire. Le petit déjeuner est tout simplement idéal (pain maison, yaourt maison, porridge maison, ...) Le lieu est calme et apaisant.
Great views, excellent host, top location. We will definitely stay again.
The very friendly host, as soon as she saw my two sons, both 2 meters tall, immediately changed the room where the children were supposed to stay for a more comfortable one, better suited for our “giants” (at no extra charge). The house is beautifully and tastefully furnished with everything you need. The views from the living room are stunning. We received plenty of great tips for the rest of our trip around the Donegal region.
Tout, l'emplacement, l'organisation de la maison, la gentillesse et disponibilité des hotes.
Friendly hosts who welcome responsible pet owners! Great breakfasts also provided. Enjoyed the common eating and living area that allowed us to meet and chat with other guests.
Maison confortable, vue incroyable du salon, accueil adorable par la propriétaire, établissement pet friendly ++, pièces à vivre conviviales et chaleureuses, chambres douillettes, nous recommandons fortement de passer par the Lookout Ardara!
Nel complesso credo sia stato il migliore B&B del ns viaggio on the road, molto accogliente, nulla è lasciato al, caso, bagno condiviso ma di fatti era a ns esclusivo utilizzo essendo solo a piano terra. Host super disponibili e molti carini, il vero valore aggiunto è la sala con due finestre che danno sul fiordo, meritava di farci almeno due notti e godere della vista e dello spazio con un buon the caldo in mano. Parcheggio dentro la struttura, servizio di lavanderia (a pagamento) molto utile, buona la colazione. Molto consigliato!
Every aspect was stunning ... the attention to detail was second to none ..The views spectacular.. value for money fabulous .. there was no areas that I could fault ...Brigitte and Adrien saw to our every need and beyond ❤️.. it was a holiday I will never forget .. and Adrien's pancakes added a special touch . 😋 Goodbye until next time !!
Home away from home
Very welcoming staff, great location and comfortable.
Good explanation, great facilities, friendly ambiance.
There beautiful property and hospitality have been a highlight of our trip.They have thought of everything every detail is exceptional. Adrian provided an amazing breakfast and Brigitte gave us kindness and support. This is an amazing find , would highly recommend .
Les gens etaient vraiment serviables et gentils, la chambre et la literie très confortable, la vu du salon très agréable, le petit déjeuner du matin est vraiment très appréciable. Bref, un endroit parfait pour se détendre et se reposer

The location of the house is amazing, with a stunning view of both the sea and the mountains. The interior is beautifully organized — I was genuinely impressed. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. We will definitely come back. Thank you!"
Everything was perfect - clean, comfortable, arty & wonderfully organised. And the views were just stunning with magnificent picture windows & well placed seats to relax in & soak up the views. Beds so comfortable too. And breakfast definitely worth waiting for - we had considered leaving early but glad we didn’t 😊 Thank you to the hosts for providing a great experience.
Booked it for the price, but was pleasantly surprised by the AMAZING view! The owners were SO helpful and kind.
Comfort, peaceful location, with a great view, lovely helpful hosts, nice breakfast. I wish I had been able to stay longer. We were cold and damp when we arrived and were very quickly feeling human again after the welcome we received. Thanks for everything
