View was fabulous, an evening looking out on the lake from the hot tub spectacular. The pod itself very clean and cozy.

View was fabulous, an evening looking out on the lake from the hot tub spectacular. The pod itself very clean and cozy.
Location and experience in pod and view.
My toilet was not clean on arrival and tv would not work for any channels, bed very noisy.
A wonderful place near the lake, cosy warm houses with the smell of wood. We had a great rest and enjoyed the scenery. Near there is a cafe with delicious food and friendly staff, there is also a small shop nearby where you can buy everything you need. The territory is clean and tidy, everything is thought out to the smallest detail.
It would be great to attach a few hooks for jackets to the wall.
L'entièreté du logement et la vue sur le lac. L'accès direct a un café.
Le manque d'éponge, de savon et de shampooing pour la douche
Pods were spotless,,warm and cosy,,tv and shower were great...highly recommend,,,
The lake in front is stunning. Is breá liom Dún na nGall agus tá an aimsir go deas. 😀
I didn't have a pen to sign the visitor book.😣
Perfekte Lage, großer Parkplatz und sehr schöne Pods!
Whirlpool etwas dreckig, keine Klobürste
Looks great, lovely view out the front, and feels private

A wonderful place to stay, super comfortable, and in a great location. It was a very good place to wind down
The peace and quiet was brilliant and such a nice area.
Breakfast N/A. Location is superbly scenic.
The only thing missing was a mirror.
The area was lovely and the views were amazing
Hot tub didn’t work effective and left a mark on my partner due to the jets suctioning her skin.
L'expérience est très originale, il y a tout le confort nécessaire pour une nuit. Il y a un bon restaurant/pub dans la ville, accessible à pied, au niveau du port.
Everything, its a stunning place. 🥰 This is our 3rd time to stay and each time it is just as beautiful. Immaculate pods and surroundings. Its so peaceful. The wheelhouse cafe serves amazing food and have such friendly staff. An amazing place 🤗
Couldn't fault a thing.
Hot tub
The bed not comfy enough. Electric socket stuck behind the headboard.
The accommodation and the location.
Nothing !
Surprising better than I’d imagined . Perfect for our short stay. Hot tub was a real treat. POD was clean & comfy , would recommend it to friends & many asked us about it .

Such a quiet and beautiful spot. The pods are arranged incredibly well for privacy, they’re comfortable inside, and the hot tub was well worth the additional fee. John was friendly and happy to help when we needed.
Would have liked if soaps and shampoo were provided as well as some more hooks for drying towels and bathing suits.
the area was absolutely stunning and the pod was lovely and cosy and extremely clean
Great location- 15 minute walk to Burtonport. The glamping pods were amazing, we had a beautiful view over the lake. The pods were clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was amazing aswell. Thanks for a great stay and great communication
Struttura molto particolare, davanti al lago. Presente un bar per la colazione. Bella esperienza!!!
Unica nota dolente è stata la jacuzzi, inizialmente il proprietario aveva detto che la avremmo potuta avere (con prezzo aggiuntivo), ma il giorno prima del nostro arrivo , ci ha informati che non avrebbe potuto darcela in alcun modo.
Comfortable and relaxing, good location, helpful host
I hadn't "glamped" before so it was an interesting experience. The property and location were lovely and I would definitely recommend it to others.
There were no towels (that I could see) and there was no hot water in the morning. Maybe I didn't understand how the water worked but there was no hot water. One thing you might mention is that the Cafe is not open at night but there are tons of shops on the road in. I stopped at Aldi in Donegal and if I'd know there was an Aldi closerby I would have opted for that...
Lovely glamping experience in a beautiful setting, with a wee shop and cafe just next door.
A few hooks and a couple of shelves would have been helpful.
The perfect location ! Having the Hot Tub experience was a bonus !
Amazing location, very clean, very comfortable
That i only booked one night.
Besondere Art der Unterkunft, die zum Entspannen einlädt und entschleunigenden Aufenthalt ermöglicht. Insgesamt gute Möglichkeit, wenn man auf der Suche nach etwas anderem ist.
Leider hatten wir in Pod Nr 4 wohl die bescheidste Aussicht (einerseits auf Schotter und Gebüsch und anderseits auf die Rückseite eines anderen Pods). Wasser bzw Seezugang hätten wir uns erwünscht. Leider hat bei uns die Dusche nicht ganz funktioniert und die Einstellungen fürs Warmwasser waren nicht klar. Insgesamt hätten wir uns für den Preis mehr erwartet
I like the pod , the area amazing the people were lovely very clean n quiet
No taxi numbers to ring in information book
Beautiful location, well kitted out for such a small space. Warm shower
Pods were cute and overlooked river
Nothing were fab
A nice and quiet spot.
Fantastic location . Would Have loved a few extra hours it was so relaxing. One night definitely not long enough
Great restaurant and great food
Great location. You were left alone by the staff but felt like help was at hand if you needed it.
I couldn't get the WiFi to connect despite following the simple instructions. It wasn't a big deal for me, and I'm sure they could've fixed it if I had asked them to.
Location, landscaping, view, facilities
Mooie ligging aan het water en lekker rustig Pod is ook best nog ruim van binnen en heeft een koelkastje waar je je ontbijt in kan zetten.
We hadden last van een riool lucht die ergens van buiten kwam.
Set out was very good, comfy bed. Very close to Port 5-10 minutes walking good restaurant here and a bar. Site was beautiful well laid out and very peaceful
WiFi signal didn't work, If eating at the cabin you'd need microwave meal
This was a great location right in front of a lake
Nothing
The place
What I didn't like is that it needs to be more explicit with the zzacuzi, because not all of them have them, and if you want one, you have to contact the owner when you make a reservation, but we called the day we arrived several times and of course he answered, a lady from the restaurant helped us.
Very clean and well laid out, stunning view of the lake
Not a big deal but WiFi wasn’t working for us and not a clear understanding on recycling waste removal. I suggest a wee leaflet left inside with some know how.
Absolutely fantastic place! Very clean, cosy and good situated especially if you want to travel around the coast.
Fantastic location and views. Pod was very clean with all essentials, including kettle, microwave, tea and coffee. Heating on a timer so Pod was lovely and warm when we arrived. Definitely come back and book the Pod with the hot tub.
Nothing, everything was perfect.
Clean , warm and cosy cabins with a beautiful view.
Het uitzicht over het meer is heel mooi. Tevens is de ligging heel gunstig om met de ferry naar het mooie eiland Arranmore te gaan.
Geen bijzonderheden.
The pods were very cool to stay in. You have a lovely view of the pond right outside your door. We went to the Lobster Pot in the port area for dinner which was great. We had breakfast at the Wheelhouse Cafe the next morning and enjoyed it.
We tried to book one of the pods with a hot tub but weren't able to through the website. However, when we got there it seemed two of those pods were available and nobody used them. We also were hoping for a fireplace or some other place to sit and enjoy being outdoors.
Lovely setup, very clean & comfortable. Easy check in & out. Beautiful location.
It was extremely beautiful and peaceful really enjoyed it did not want to go home was brilliant scenery around the area and dungoe was amazing
Don't think there was anything it was an amazing experience
I liked the place where is the house ..
Non
The pods are beautiful in an amazing setting that is so peaceful and tranquil. The wheelhouse glamping cafe is also fabulous serving beautiful food and such friendly staff. A perfect place 👌
I loved the stay such a cute comfortable location , with a very clean bathroom and small kitchen space .The view from our pod was stunning and the location owner was very accommodating and friendly to contact with seamless check in and check out.
The views where amazing and everything was so close by
N/A
gorgeous and clean
The pods were great to stay in, good size and good bed and facilities, really nice lake view and easy self check in/check out
The booking we made didn't end up having hot tubs, which was really unclear at the time- looking at all the pictures I can see that this is identified on the final picture if you click into it - but it really should have been made more clear in the booking information. We were very disappointed about this. Also when sitting outside the midges were unbearable due to the proximity to the lake. Not the owners fault obviously but worth mentioning for anyone booking in spring/summer.
Location
Host was rude
Location 👌
A beautiful view of the lake. Proximity to café and quickie mart. Clean, well organized, and a nice assortment of kitchen supplies. The wall heater warmed the space quickly. The host, John, was super nice. I'll stay again when I return to Burtonport.
The wifi was slow. It didn't connect to websites reliably.
Location, cleanliness, beautiful pods,the host John good guy.
Nothing
A gorgeous stay, really clean, beautiful views, and everything you need in the pod. The owner was extremely accommodating when we needed an earlier check in. Definitely will be back.
Nothing it was perfect!
The uniqueness and how it is secluded/private
All good
Lovely spotless well-maintained pods with a beautiful view on the lake. Towels and linens all provided, as well as tea coffee milk and biscuits. So nice having a shower and toilet in the pod, and the shower was very good in both pressure and temperature. Cafe on site with the best pancakes I’ve tasted in a long time and lovely fresh breakfast (poached eggs and sourdough toast) and excellent coffee. Nice town of Burtonport a short drive away. Me and my 6 yo son really loved the stay it was lovely and relaxing. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend. Great value for money. Also, my son left his stuffed toy behind and I messaged the owner and said I would drive down and get it. Not only did they respond immediately but said they would arrange to have it sent to me to save me the trip. Couldn’t ask for better than that, thank you!
Nothing, all excellent.
Nice & quiet
