Customer Testimonials for Inishcoo Island - Burtonport
Cannot fault Inishcoo at all. It was one of the best trips away we’ve had in a long time. From the second we arrived we felt relaxed and at home. The boat journey over took about 5 minutes and Oscar who took us out on the boat was great. He was so friendly and nothing was a problem for him. The house was immaculate and there was plenty for the kids to do too (not one iPad was looked for) I cannot wait to stay again!

Was a trip of a lifetime. Perfectly suited for a big group. Had more facilities than we could have dreamed of. Stunning scenery, could explore the island for days!
- Vanessa, June 2021
We had an amazing time on Inishcoo, wandering the island, swimming, kayaking playing games. The house is perfect and exactly what we had expected, if not more. Heating was on when we arrived, which was nice. There is also a lovely fire in the main room. Beds were perfect, rooms spotless. I would highly recommend for a group of friends or family who want to get away from everything for a few days.

Myself and a group of friends stayed on Inishcoo for new years. We had a great time. Caroline was very helpful and quick to answer any of our questions. Oscar was brilliant and great fun. He gave us loads of great tips when dropping us off to the island. The house is lovely and has a well stocked kitchen. Overall we had an excellent stay.

This is a super house for a large group. The island is beautiful, and the house itself is stunning and warm. Oscar couldn't have been more helpful and really made the whole experience easy for our group. We'll definitely be back.

“ An absolutely phenomenal stay, I genuinely couldn’t recommend the space highly enough. Communication was prompt and clear as well as being extremely accommodating of any extra queries - we will definitely be back!
- Edel, May 2019
“ We had an ideal getaway on Inishcoo. We had a very large group and there was a bed for everyone and loads of space. Oscar dropped us over on his boat and was very accommodating and friendly, giving us tips on what to do on the area and showed us around the house. There were sea kayaks that we were able to use and visit the nearby beaches, some of which were the nicest I've ever been on. I would highly recommend Inishcoo and look forward to visiting again in the future.”

“ Went with a big group of friends and we all had a great experience. The facilities, the location, and the host were all amazing and made for an unforgettable weekend. I think it’s safe to say we would all go back tomorrow if we could. A big thank you to Oscar, who brought us to and from the island and guided us all weekend, for making things run so smoothly and helping us make the most of our time there. 10/10”

“ What an amazing place! Stayed for a week and still had plenty of exploring left to do! Our only regret when leaving was that we did not spend enough time on the island. Inishcoo Island was worthy of a week itself. It was so much fun to walk the beautiful beaches, search out the grazing cattle and explore the island. Also had great fun catching lobster and shrimp for dinner in the shrimp pots at the house! Oscar was great. He was so patient and accommodating with our group of 11. Can’t recommend Inishcoo House highly enough!”

Want to say a big thank you and to let you know we all had a fabulous time on Inishcoo last weekend.
The weather wasn't the best but we did manage to venture out around the island for a few walks with the kids we even met the local cows north of the island! My wife Nicola had a lovely 40th birthday and some of the couples have been talking about wanting to come again with the family.

Arrived safely on the island just before dark last night. House is beautiful and views fantastic. Couldn't be better

We had a wonderful time and everything was perfect. We had a wonderful time fishing exploring and generally relaxing (well needed). Your home on Inishcoo is beautiful and we are lucky that you share such a treasure. My husband promised me that the library could keep him occupied for many weeks. Some of the books that my daughter pulled were very old and interesting reading from 1915 and on. My daughter loved the children's play den. My son loved fishing and caught his first fish with great excitement. All in all everyone was blown away by the peaceful beauty of the island. We would love to come back in the future

WHAT an idyllic weekend we all had at Inishcoo! No wonder you love the place. As I said yesterday thank you all so much for sharing your little piece heaven with us.
I don't know where to start….I think the breathtaking light that suffused the house, the sea, the islands, everywhere – that was so unexpected and completely stunning. I guess that was why the sea so clear and such a striking green colour. People talk about artists flocking to the south coast of France because they revel in the unique quality of light, but I do think the Donegal luminosity is a well kept secret. As you said yourself, the place is bewitching.
Then tthe very natural, easy going completely open and so likeable people around you there – you could not ask for more.

I keep thinking I am on a Greek Island - so warm and the colours are dazzling!
Mary Cunningham, Crossgar, Co Down
What a phenomenal place! Went for a wonderful walk among the most incredible variety of wildflowers in glorious sunshine; watched the ferries pass while sitting out reading books on the terrace, after a disastrous evening's Bridge for me! Utter magic the whole day!
Simone Beach, Ballydugan House, Co Down
“What a wonderful place! I had looked forward to coming to the island since hearing about it earlier in the year. It was no disappointment; you have done a wonderful job of restoring the house.”
Patricia Nash, Ramelton, Co. Donegal
“The house and island are a tour de force. You saved a very nice surprise for me with your magnificent library. What a delight and the perfect place to while away a soft Donegal day”.
