Absolutely love this beautiful old stone farm house. Fabulous location close enough to walk to the beach. Great place from which to stage a touring of County Donegal. Extremely well equipped. Having a washer and dryer made it possible for all of us to go with carryon luggage for a 2 week stay. All of the bedrooms & beds are extremely comfortable. We really made use of the host's recommended list of excursions which were much better than any travel guide book I reviewed. Five star stay all the way!!!

Well equipped house with great character and wonderful location.

a lovely, warm and inviting house -- terrific location to explore the beautiful ruggedness of County Donegal.

We had a lovely week . Great location. Both the owner and the property manager Jennifer were could not have been nicer. Jennifer even forwarded items we had left behind-thanks Jennifer.

The property was great, full of nooks and crannies that the smallies loved to hide in. The two neighbours were always good for a chat, we even named them, Jacob and Evan. Murvagh beach is beautiful and so close. We would strongly recommend this house for a large group. Thanks so much to all.

I cannot say enough about this beautiful idyllic house and location, EVERYTHING about the experience was A+. Indeed it was our 2nd time staying here and we went back because the 1st visit was so awesome. Clean welcoming warm- the rooms are amazing and the beds, every single adult and child slept like a baby!!. With a kitchen so well equipped we ate 3 meals a day at home most days over our 10 day visit and a beach just 15 minute stroll that was nearly empty making us feel like it was a just for us. And with all of that only 10 minute drive and you have the great town of Donegal to grab a bite, a pint or do your shopping. I cannot recommend this place enough for allll to be reasons above. We will definitely be back to this hidden gem!

This house is lovely and spacious, very relaxing and totally kitted out with everything you would need

We had an amazing time in the Hilltown. The house is stunning and in an absolutely phenomenal location with murvagh beach only a 10 minute walk from the house. The owner and caretakers are incredibly polite and quick to respond to any queries. The house had everything we needed and I've never slept on a more comfortable bed. The Hilltown is the perfect place to get away from it all and relax surrounded by some of the most beautiful places in Ireland.

There is ample space at Hilltown House to accomodate 2 families , 5 people in each. Wifi is available however coverage is a little poor. The house is within a 5 - 10 min drive to two beautiful beaches, Rossnowlagh and Murvagh. The house itself is well equipped with washer / dryer facilities and particularly good kitchen equipment which makes self catering easy. We were lucky to have very good weather during our stay and could enjoy bbqs outside taking in the lovely views. I would recommend Hilltown House whole heartedly as even if the weather is not so good, there are many visitor attractions within a reasonable driving distance from the property. The Salmon Inn is a very good local restaurant.

An amazing and comfortable stay for my large Irish family. Very comfortable beds with amazing view out the front.

The house was spotless and in a great location close to the beach. Geoffrey and Jennifer were so helpful. We will be back.

A perfect place for our family to reunite with my husband during his 2-week leave during his tour of duty in Iraq. The caretakers were helpful and accommodating to our every wish - we were welcomed by a decorated Christmas tree upon our arrival on Christmas Eve. The Hilltown is the perfect place for any holiiday - especially with children, as there is ample space, a large dining room, and plenty of fresh air and scenery to admire. The town has shops aplenty - and the people are all wonderful and helpful. Make sure you go to the Cliffs of Bunglass - highest cliffs in Europe!

We landed home yesterday evening and just wanted to share our feelings about Ireland and the Hilltown. Both were everything we expected and much more, offering a snapshot into a wonderful home and a wonderful heritage. The entire Donegal area was beautiful and the caretaker for the Hilltown was kind and very helpful. We spent a tremendous week together as a family and loved the house, the land, Lizzie the pony, the people, the scenery, the beach (although we could never find Bell's Isle), and more. We enjoyed the guest book and browsed through two family albums we found in the book shelves, intrigued by the history and stories within those pages. The house itself was perfect and we did our best to respect the property. We were even sure that we had the company of a friendly ghost but your imagination can go crazy in an old farmhouse in an ancient land on a foggy night. We were amazed by the rapid changes in weather and appreciative for the very brief rain storms, the wind howling at night, the warmth of the fire places and the Cadbury drinking chocolate we became addicted to, and the many rainbows we saw as we drove from one end of the north country to another. Eventually we ran out of time but never out of love for what we saw. A week certainly wasn't long enough and we are already talking about going back. Thanks again for the wonderful opportunity to experience Ireland through the truly magical portal of the Hilltown.
