Its such a lovely place to stay, so peaceful and yet just a short journey to Bundoran, Ballyyshannon, Garrison and all the sights nearby. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and the short walk to the lake is lovely. This is our favourite part of the world and well worth a visit.

Willowbrook cottage is situated in a remote very quiet beautiful location but not very hard to find and fairly close to bundoran and ballyshannon i found the house itself to be comfortable and well equipped but with the beauty of the surrounding countryside i spent more time outside of the house than in it, i didnt get a chance to meet Henry the owner but he was always available to contact in case of any problems but fortunately there were none, i would have no problem reccommending willowbrook cottage and i hope to return sooner rather than later
