We were very lucky to find Viola's house to use as a base for a week away which included a wedding in Derry. We decided to arrive a day early to facilitate the exchange of keys and thoroughly enjoyed meeting Viola and Sean. They were very kind and let us accommodate friends who were attending the same wedding. There was plenty of room for everyone, as the house used to be a B&B, so also very well equipped. All the rooms were big and comfortable, some with views over Lough Swilly. Looking after Marge the cat was easy as he has his own room outside and was very friendly. Buncrana is less than 10 min by car and has all the facilities you would need. The Railway Inn is on your doorstep and offers great food. Don't assume you'll find a table without booking, as it is very popular with the locals. Lovely beach walks. The Inishowen peninsula is really beautiful. We particularly enjoyed a trip to the most northern point (and pub) in Ireland, including a stop in the Doagh Famine Village. Less than half an hour's drive takes you to Derry, with good parking options to visit the walled city and other points of historical interest, as well as the many pubs and restaurants. A very successful exchange.
