Old Post Office

Exactly as seen in the photos. Martina is a great host.

A country setting just a few minutes from lovely Buncrana, this house was convenient to all the tourist attractions, hiking trails, and beaches on Inishowen peninsula. The flat is the top floor of a two unit house and is beautifully decorated; much effort was made for it to be as charming as possible. The flat is luxurious!

The road is right outside the house and can be a bit noisy. The WiFi tv kept buffering, making it impossible to watch at times. The bathroom is extremely small.

Lovely location and very clean. The hosts were very helpful.

Accommodation very nicely decorated and homely feel. All amenities you could need for home from home stay. Martina was very helpful. Allowed us to check out a bit later we we were running late for 10am check out. Very accommodating.

Would recommend a bath mat to put out for when having a shower to save floor getting wet and a cloth to wipe down kitchen surfaces.

We had a great stay here. A lovely property not too far away from civilisation but remote enough to be peaceful. Every morning we were greeted by a couple of very vocal sheep as we left and returned, it was as if they were saying hello and goodbye 😆 the apartment was well equipped, very comfortable and clean with I must admit one of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever had. A stay can be made or broke by a good nights sleep and thus was top class. A little road traffic noise early in the evenings but the road quietened down very quickly and never disturbed our rest. Tv had a plethora of channels for free and although the Donegal weather wasn’t as kind as it could be it was still nice to have entertainment to come home too. Far too many places have barely a single channel that’s useable. The owners should be very proud to provide this place it’s so nice.

Being picky, as a lanky person the bathroom was shall we say ‘compact’ to more normal stature I’m sure was satisfactory. Also the wifi was slow, if the tv was streaming linking a phone would cause a lot of buffering. Around 3-4mbps on a test. But it’s included so shouldn’t complain. We both had perfect 5g connection anyway so it’s a good location.

Die Unterkunft war sehr stilvoll, gemütlich und schön eingerichtet. Alles war sauber und die Ausstattung ließ keine Wünsche offen. Das Bett war sehr bequem und wir haben sehr gut schlafen können. Martina war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und gut zu erreichen. Ein Willkommensgruß stand für uns parat. Die Unterkunft befindet sich in einer tollen Lage. Man konnte in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß einen traumhaften Strand erreichen und auch sonst ist viel Sehenswertes rundherum gut zu erreichen, wie grosse Strände, Derry etc. Wir würden jederzeit wieder in diese tolle Unterkunft gehen. Vielen Dank, Martina.

Es war alles perfekt!

Some character

Building not finished, busy road, small apartment no outside seating area

Self catering in very well eqipped kitchen

Everything was good

Loved the location, beautiful and peaceful, 10 minute drive to town. Beach 2 minute drive away. Friendly people beautiful place. Friendly host very clean apartment , kitchen well equipped and apartment decor beautiful.

Small bathroom, a lot of insects and flies in apartment could not have window open despite the heat. No fans, extremely warm apartment . Did not sleep too well.

The location

Nothing at all

Great location. Very clean and tidy. The host (Martina) very welcoming and helpful. The apartment was lovely to stay in and I would recommend this to others looking to stay in Donegal we booked in order to attend the Foyle cup being held in Derry, travel to there from the old post office takes roughly 20mins. You’re within walking distance to a strand/beach. Sea views as well.

The WiFi signal can dip in and out.

The decor, cleanliness, and location were spot on.

Quiet, and close to the strand.

We loved the location, and how clean and practical the apartment was. The owner stayed in touch throughout our stay via messages which was reassuring and simply nice. Should we visit this part of the world again, the Old Post Office would be our first choice.

Very clean and tidy, easy to communicate with

We spent the most delightful weekend in a cosy little retreat that felt like a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Nestled in a picturesque setting with stunning beaches and lush mountainous greenery, this hidden gem was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere—charming interiors, comfortable furnishings, and breathtaking views that instantly set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Whether basking in the serenity of the coastline or exploring the rich, verdant landscape, every moment felt like a dream. The beaches were pristine, offering gentle waves and soft sands perfect for unwinding, while the surrounding mountains provided incredible opportunities for scenic hikes and quiet reflection. Waking up to the sound of nature and ending the day with a sunset over the water made the experience truly magical. If you're looking for a peaceful yet invigorating escape, this place is an absolute must-visit. We'll definitely be returning soon! Thank you, Martina, for a memorable weekend 😊🙏

We wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect.

We stayed in the house tor a long weekend, it was close by to everything we needed. The house was clean and spacious and had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Host was so helpful and really made everything easier!

Nice queit area,with some nice ocean views .and a couple of mins drive to buncrana.ideal location to explore donegal and derry city not far either

Martina was an excellent host and responded immediately to any of our queries. She provided tea, coffee, milk, biscuits etc on arrival which was very much appreciated. Facilitated us with the use of her shed for bikes and advised us on places to see. Easily heated, cosy, very clean property with tasteful decor throughout. Would definitely recommend it to anybody.

Outdoor stairs may not suit everyone.

The Old Post Office is in a wonderful location, with Linsfort Beach just a short walk down the little road opposite. Additionally, there are lovely country walks all around. There is a little supermarket a few hundred yards away. The OPO itself is a carefully restored heritage building and Martina (the host) is very kind and helpful. Go and stay - especially if sea and country air is your thing. You will totally love it.

Nothing negative to report.

A beautiful piece of local history perfectly captured in the restoration

Absolutely nothing

This is a perfect place to stay to discover Inishowen. The location is perfect. The apartment itself was spotless, beautifully decorated and had all appliances and facilities you could want. What makes this accommodation really special is the obvious love and attention to detail the owners have taken to bring this lovely old post office back to life and in the process saved an important piece of Irish architecture and local history. Martina and her husband could not have been more friendly and helpful. Any question was quickly answered and they gave some great recommendations for food which we tried out on our visit. I would highly recommend staying here and will certainly return in the future.

Accommodation was perfect.

A tastefully renovated house with everything you'd need for three to four people. We were welcomed very kindly by the landlady and during our stay she was always ready to recommend restaurants and side trips. There's a stunning beach, a pub and a grocery store in walking distance of the house.

An absolutely beautiful property and very comfortable. Spotless.! Host is a lady.!

Bathroom tiny bit small but that was just personal preference as I ve a partner and teenage son who are quite tall !!

The property was a cosy and clean place, situated just a few minutes away from beautiful beaches, it is close to a shop and just a few minutes drive from Buncrana town. There is plenty of exploring to do and is very much worth it. Martina provided all the essentials and ensured we would have a great stay. I cant recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning to this place for a holiday again.

Nothing I didn’t like about the property.

The property is beautifully decorated and was warm and inviting when we arrived. The bedrooms are spacious and the setting was idyllic! Would have loved to stay longer!

Nothing, everything was spectacular
