Beachfront holiday rental in Downhill Strand

Apartment was beautiful and views to die for! Loved sitting at the window looking out as the world went by.

We had a great few days at Donna’s home. Everything you need is there. It is clean, comfortable and spacious. Located just a few minutes walk away from the beach, shops & bars it’s perfect for a short break. 😎

I’m so thankful that these lovely cottages from the 1800 have been preserved and so well taken care of. I’ve wanted to stay in one since I was a child and my grandmother used to tell me stories of Ireland. Being able to sit by a turf fire in the evenings and visiting with my husband was one of the highlights of this trip. The location is beautiful and very peaceful. Danielle was extremely helpful before we arrived with directions and suggestions for places to eat. I wanted to do a load of laundry and she asked if I had detergent. I didn’t, and said I’d pick some up at the store. No bother, she said I’ll drop some by and she did. The cottage was very clean. Everything was ready for us to use, (the turf for my fire). I loved it there and can’t recommend it highly enough. For those of us with Irish grandparents, it’s a dream come true. Thank you so much!

Lorna is a fantastic host, very responsive, with great attention to detail. The house is beautiful, ideally located within walking distance of Portrush and Portstewart and includes all the necessary components to instantly make you feel right at home. This was our first trip away with our 6 month old and Lorna’s house and hosting was major factor in us having a wonderful time. We can’t wait to return.

We had a fantastic weekend , the location was amazing, beach 5min walk, beach was so clean and we really enjoyed our sunrises and sunsets. We took our two dogs with us and the back yard was secure. Georgina was a great host very responsive. The house was pristine and catered for all our needs. We look forward to returning again later in the year. Highly recommended.😊

Place was nice. The surroundings beautiful and so close to the park. We had a great walk there. All we expected, clean, comfortable. Got to watch netflix in a huge screen. All good According to my husband: best thing was that it was next to a pub with friendly people. We watched our first hurling match there and they explained the rules. 😊

We just returned home from a weeks stay at Carols Coastguard Cottage and we are already planning on when to go back. While I’m sure the beautiful weather we had for our stay was just a blessing, the cottage was the perfect place to decompress for a week. The peace that came from sitting outside under the canopy, listening to waves while watching and making friends with the shore oath walkers (and their wonderful dogs) was exactly what we needed. But if you don’t feel like interacting, it’s very easy to just keep the gate closed and sit in a perfect solitude oasis. The walk to the village was very easy and we were delighted with the many options for meals, our favorites being Sozo and 6-3-1 and of course The Sipster, which we spent a wonderful night getting to know a group of locals who all knew of Carol and how amazing she is. I could go on forever about how great this place is but I only have 90 characters left so I’ll just say book now, you won’t regret it at all.

We loved John’s so much last year, we found a 5 night slot for June we reserved in November, and flew across the ocean to savor it. John is great, and we loved talking to him about his animals and helping to feed the lambs, who were much friendlier this year than last! John’s land is beyond words, very therapeutic in these troubled times. Accessing internet at Malin Head made communicating with family across an ocean quite seamless. This year, in contrast to last, we did regular exploring in Donegal ~~ Glenevin Falls, Gap of Mamore, Famine Village, Carrickabraghy Castle, Nancy’s Barn in Ballyliffin ( award inning chowder and more), Five Fingers Strand etc. ~~ so much to explore, and plenty further afield. Don’t book if you need state of art appliances and bathrooms, but John’s thatched roof little cottage is charming, fine for meal prep, and a perfect base for exploring beautiful Donegal. John, his animals and his land are memorable, a one of a kind delight.

fantastic spot, cosy pod which was spotless and modern, hot tub was lovely. thanks a million would stay again!

Great stay pods were so clean and Lovley. The lady who checked us in couldn’t have did enough. Will be back !

We came on a stay for our anniversary we stayed in the causeway pod it was extremely clean and had everything we needed, the one thing we didn’t realise is that we had a fire pit and picnic table which we wish we knew sooner it was in the corner to the left of the hot tub so not in view and by the time we realised it was there was 11pm but that was partly our fault for not reading the in pod book sooner. But we will definitely return in the future and spend more time there! What a gorgeous set up! We loved it all. Rachel and James September 2024

Such a spectacular apartment. We were lucky enough to stay here for a week. The views are breathtaking and it was the perfect getaway for us.

Great unit for two! Pictures didn’t do it justice. Lovely unit with great location… quiet residential street but with quick access to the beach and very walkable to town. Easy parking. Had everything we needed and hosts provided great local recc’s. Cutest doggo next door too!

We were traveling as a multi-generational family of 7. Everyone, from the teenagers to the grandparents, loved our stay at this place! It was a convenient landing spot for exploring the area and was a nice place to sit, relax, and watch the water through the windows. Lisa was very responsive when we had a few questions and provided some good suggestions. We had plenty of room for everyone to spread out a bit and the ability to use laundry facilities was handy after we'd already been traveling for several days. We were a little sad to leave....such a lovely spot!

Absolutely loved the unit, PortStewart promenade a 5- minute walk & the proximity to the northern Atlantic was incredible. We would not hesitate to stay again should we return for another golf trip. ⛳️

We booked Alison’s place to stay for our elopement and we could not have chosen a better accommodation! The views from this apartment are everythingggg. Alison let us know that we might even see dolphins and sure enough we did! She even gave us a little welcome box with goodies from the local farm for breakfast and a card to congratulate us! The sweetest host. Everything is walkable, and we highly recommend going to Ramore head for sunset. Shanty is also amazing for food!! It was just us for our trip but it was so spacious. We love this place so much we’ve already talked about coming back! Thank you for having us Alison maybe we’ll see you again on our anniversary (;

Julie is a geg, she had us laughing with her North Coast charm and amicable personality. We were like ships in the night during our stay but she made sure we were well taken care of, comfortable, and informed. I would have zero hesitations about staying again. Thank you!

My family stayed here for three nights, and loved it. We highly recommend Anita’s place. It was clean, comfortable, even better than the photos. Anita was responsive and helpful with instructions. She also provided a list of things to do in the area. Her instructions for the home were well thought out, and her place was equipped with everything we needed, including a pair of binoculars we could use while looking at the ocean from the comfort of the living room. We would definitely stay here again!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, just what i wanted.would certainly book again.
