"Une étape parfaite pour nous !"

10.0

The Lookout a été pour nous le plus beau, le plus paisible et le plus chaleureux des gites de notre voyage. A peine arrivés, nous avons immédiatement regretté de n'avoir réservé qu'une seule nuit ! La vue de toute les fenêtres de la maison est juste exceptionnelle. Nos enfants de 3 et 9 ans ont pour profiter du grand jardin et des petits chats. La cuisine et le salon partagés sont très cosy et invitent à se poser pour la soirée et papoter avec les autres voyageurs ou avec Brigitte, ou juste lire un livre, ou jouer un peu de guitare... Un petit déjeuner (fait maison et excellent) est compris. La propreté est irréprochable. Ardara est bien placé pour visiter le sud du Donegal ! On conseille donc cette étape les yeux fermés. Merci encore pour ce moment !

De ne pas être resté plus longtemps !

Je devrais vous dire de ne pas y aller. Je devrais vous dire que c’est le pire endroit sur Terre. Je devrais vous dire qu’il vaut mieux se casser une jambe, ou visiter un pays souffrant de la guerre. Je devrais vous dire tout cela pour garder ce joyaux caché, pour garder cet endroit secret. Je devrais vous dire tout cela pour espérer avoir une chambre pour mon prochain séjour, séjour qui passera forcément par là. Cela serait être égoïste et égocentré, tout l’inverse de ma personnalité et surtout de ce lieu. Je suis un Voyageur avant tout, je pense que peu de continents m’ont échappés, a part le grand tout blanc tout au Sud, mais peu d’endroit sur cette belle planète ne m’ont apporté autant de bien être. Ce lieu et les hôtes sont d’une beauté d’âme, ils resplendissent de bonheur et de bienveillance. Brigit est un puit sans fond sur l’Irlande même si elle n’y est pas née. Pour moi , backpackers devenant vieux, 45 ans, ce lieu est le parfait mix. Une cuisine, une pièce commune où échanger avec les Voyageurs de passage, tout en ayant une chambre pour soi. Mon séjour y a été comme un rêve éveillé. D’ailleurs je me demande si je dois y retourner tellement cela a été magique. Oublier la dernière partie, je suis sûr que mon prochain séjour sera tout aussi magique. Love, Philippe. • P.S. Je m’y suis senti tellement bien que j’ai vraiment eu du mal a prendre la route ce matin. I should tell you not to go. I should tell you it's the worst place on Earth. I should tell you it's better to break a leg or visit a war-torn country. I should tell you all this to keep this hidden gem, to keep this place a secret. I should tell you all this in the hope of getting a room for my next trip, a trip that will inevitably include a visit. That would be selfish and self-centered, the complete opposite of my personality and especially of this place. I am a traveler above all else.

"Gorgeous Look Out"

10.0

Le look out is set in a beautiful scenery....just above the tidal sea....where the water comes in or goes out every six hours....offering a stunning view of the white sand spirals left by the water..... The house is warm and cosy and we can see the sea from the lounge thru big windows like screens... Brigitte is a very nice host and put a lot of work and love in this place. She really welcome us with her heart. Everything was clean and lovely. I highly recommend the lookout!

Nothing....there is no buses going there....but you get a lift easily from the people living around. If you have car it's also a nice base to visit the Donegal.
