The breakfast was delicious, the accommodations were outstanding. The view was gorgeous and the Hostess and staff were super friends and welcoming! Felt like family, the best part of the experience. It felt like we were home! The building and furnishings were so beautiful, we loved the artwork and historical Maps on the walls, they were very informative. The location was fantastic, super relaxing and a very short walk to a wonderful Pub. We visited the Bád Eddie shipwreck which was super close and very cool! Gorgeous Beach and surrounding area. Great location. The only thing we would do differently next time is to stay longer!

From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was fantastic—comfortable and well-equipped with everything we needed. The highlight was the stunning beach view from the conservatory, which served as our dining room. The location was wonderfully quiet, yet only a 5-minute drive from the village and the family-friendly, beautiful beach. The entire area was picturesque, with many dreamy beaches to explore. Our stay was perfect, and we definitely plan to return.

The Bee pods are truly the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. The beach hut was clean cosy compact but with everything you could ask for. The pods are all private. The views are stunning. Siobhan and william are lovely hosts nothing is too much trouble. Complimentary breakfast and a sweet treat in the evening just add to the perfection of our stay. We are already planning a return visit. Couldn't recommend the Bee Pods rossnowlagh enough

Just a lovely place to stay at. Super friendly staff, directly at the seaside, very good breakfast that gets tailored to your individual needs and a charming in-house-pub that is not too noisy but is a beautiful place to spend the eveninings. Rooms very clean and including everything you need.

Lovely location with private beach access, only a few minutes from Ballyshannon and Bundoran town centres. Quiet, relaxed, and with beautiful views across the Erne Estuary, it made for a perfect "unplugged" weekend. Elspeth and Andrew were both incredibly friendly and so welcoming, and we can't say enough good things about them, the farm, or the animals!

Coastal Heaven Downings is in a great location for anyone travelling to Downings. Walking distance to the town and beach! The accommodation was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. The outdoor shower was also perfect for us. Absolutely no complaints! Mairead was super helpful and told us all the best spots to visit for food, beaches and sights to see. I’ll definitely be recommending this accommodation for anyone visiting Downings 😁
