Angelene’s home was beautiful and so welcoming. We had everything we needed for a really comfortable stay. Glenties is so central to the whole of Donegal and the Wild Atlantic Way. Coming home after an eventful day out, we felt cozy, warm and right at home. Moreover, we could have not asked for more wonderful hosts. Angelene and John were kind, welcoming, and so much fun to chat with. It feels like we have made new friends. Thanks, Angelene and John! -
Thank you Dana for your kind words and positive review. You are all welcome back anytime as it was a pleasure to host you.

We had a fantastic family holiday in Angelene and Johns home. The house is spacious, comfortable and very clean. It is situated in a perfect position for visiting many scenic places in Donegal. Communication was excellent at all times. Thanks again for your generous hospitality and for assisting us to have a wonderful family holiday. -
Hi Ann, Thank you for your kind words and positive review which is much appreciated. You are always welcome back.

Angelene´s house is a gem! It is located just a few minutes away from the Wild Atlantic Way, a beautiful and really wild coast with loads of waterfalls, beaches, caves and more gorgeous coastline. And then you have the mountains to explore and secret valleys. We loved to say hello to numerous sheep and very polite and welcoming Irish people. Angelene´s house is big, each bedroom has an en suite bathroom, and there is an extra TV room and an extra play room. Everything was tiptop clean. Angelene and John were easy to communicate with. We never met (this was a globe exchange), but I can highly recommend them for an PLU exchange. Thank you, Angelene and John! P.S.: We thought that we are lucky to have four bathrooms at home ... never before had we come across an exchange house with seven bathrooms. -
Hello Corinna, Thank you for your lovely review which is much appreciated. You are welcome back anytime.

Angelenes place was absolutely wonderful, and the perfect base for exploring the most beautiful places in the area. Angelene is a fantastic person, who was helpful in so many ways. Among other she cooked me a classic Irish breakfast, and gave me a little insight in Irish culture. I would love to go back one day. -
Hi Camilla, Thank you for your kind words which is much appreciated. I certainly hope you return to explore a bit more of our wee Isle in the future.☘️

After an exhausting day of getting lost on the trails of the Giants Causeway, Angeline had dinner and hot tea awaiting us on arrival. We were fortunate to get to know Angeline and find out that our stories have some similarities. Like myself, Angeline has a son with Autism, which some of you may know if you have seen me post in this group before, I am a huge advocate for those in the Autism community. She and I spent much time during our visit just resonating with stories; I could have listened to her stories for hours. She had so much knowledge of the area and gave us so many tips on where to see the best sights in Ireland in her area of Donegal. We had thrown in some American spirit in there by getting sidetracked through a dirt mountain road, but it turned about to be the most beautiful scenery of our drive throughout all of the drive in Ireland. I would recommend anyone traveling to Angeline’s area to reach out to her and share a cup of afternoon tea. We felt so welcomed during our entire stay with Angeline! -
Thank you Nicole for your kind words. Hope you and your Mammy are keeping well.

Angelene’s home in Glenties is comfortable and spacious and so well equipped, we wanted for nothing. Only minutes from the town and close to spectacular beaches and stunning scenery. Communication was warm and friendly. If you get the chance to visit Angelene’s home do not hesitate. Thanks again, Angelene and John, your kindness is very much appreciated x -
Thank you Colette for your kind words and positive review which is much appreciated. Wishing you every happiness in your new home.

The exchange with Angelene and John went very well. Their house is very spacious and very comfortable. It is well placed for visiting the wonders of Northern Ireland and Glenties is a charming village with all amenities. Awesome ! -
Thank you very much for your positive review which is much appreciated. Best wishes, Angelene

Wonderful stay at the home of Angelene and John ! This is one of the nicest welcomes we have had in over 10 years of home exchanges. Communication with Angelene was excellent, before, during and after the exchange. She made sure we had all the information we needed. The house is very well located for visiting Donegal and the surrounding area. There are a lot of activities to do and the landscapes are really beautiful. We were really well settled in the house of Angelene and John. The house is large and super clean. Do not hesitate to make an exchange with Angelene, she is so nice and her house is just perfect. Thanks again for everything! Emilie, Mo, Malik and Lorelie -
Thank you Émilie for your kind words and positive review which is much appreciated. It was lovely having you and thank you for leaving the house spotless. Hopefully you will come back some day- Donegal/Shankill next time. Best wishes, Angelene

This is a must see destination not just for the beauty of Donegal, but for the opportunity to meet Angelene and her family. Angelene welcomed me and my friends with warmth, kindness, and generosity. We felt at home right away. Angelene showed us around to some of her favorite places nearby. Her home is spacious and well equipped. We were sad to leave this beautiful sanctuary. Her home is a great vantage point to travel to the many places. Slieve League, Derry, Killybegs, Ardara are only a few, not to mention the many beautiful beaches. Put this on your bucket list. You won’t be disappointed. -
Thank you very much for your kind words and positive review Karen. It was a pleasure to meet you and your friends. You looked after our house very well and left it spotless in addition to giving us gifts, all of which was very much appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again in Boston in the not too distant future all going well. Best wishes, Angelene
