CroPod

Peaceful, tranquil beautiful location no wi fi available but this was so not a problem. Perhaps a CD player? Perfect for that get away from it all break. Totally loved it. Perhaps directions from Glencolumbkille although I had previously driven up via Ardara and back down to Glencolumbkille so I went that way as I visited Slieve Liag en route, and found it easily enough. Thanks so much PERFECT.

Wow! What a stunning place. I know the area well but had never been to this part of the Glencolmcille area. The Cropod was a perfect place for me and my son to visit my old childhood home. When you are seven years old being able to climb on the roof and have sheep come to watch you eat your breakfast is a dream come true. For me the facilities were just right, the bed was comfortable and the views were stunning. Many thanks

Unusual accommodation but spacious with everything you need. However, it is the view from the bed, the stillness and the open friendliness of the people that is the draw, going back to a simpler, slower time

What an amazing few days we have had in this place. Donegal is breathtaking and having sheep on your roof, a view that makes the soul sing and blessed with Spring sunshine we have come home nourished and wishing to return again to the simple life. Thanks so much. Linzi

The perfect hide away (you really need to follow the directions given to find it :-) WIFI wasn't great, but that only added to the experience. The peacefulness in this part of Ireland is incredible and view from the house is astonishing. Such a romantic place. Really big enough for two. I was surprised about the shower, which provided really a lot of space and the kitchen was very functional. We will keep this place as one of the best memories ever! Hope to find more places like this. Places we visited: Port, Silver Strand (nice cafe), Silver league, Glenveagh Castle (beautiful) and the coast up there. - Evelyn (Vogt, Germany).

Wow! This was a fantastic find in a beautiful part of Ireland. The pod is small but the space is used so efficiently that it felt much larger. Communication with owner was super efficient and the housekeeper is one if the nicest people you could wish to meet. Catching the low light before sunset is worth going down to the beach for. Everything was good - a large and comfy bed, a sofa by the window to enjoy the view, and sheep on the roof. The internet was a little unreliable, but although no phone signal registers the occasional text did get through. Much of the hill land is very boggy in places and needs wellies rather than boots. An excellent place to stay, highly recommended.- David

What a quirky place to stay - the pod has everything you need (just don't take too much luggage!) and the setting is beautiful. The location is pretty remote, there is lots of walking to do and plenty of time to relax and watch the hills from the window. A perfect escape.

The Pod is a special place. Incredibly designed and nestled into the hill side, this is one of the coolest places I've ever had the opportunity to stay. The space is small but well designed and very comfortable - definitely big enough for a couple. The location is secluded - 10km outside of the small town of Glencolumbkille - but I found that to be one of its many assets. The Pod and cottage are close (but not too close) together so you don't feel completely out on your own and the kind and generous housekeeper Mary and her sweet husband Columba (sp?) are just up the way. I can't really explain how incredible, peaceful, and aesthetically stunning this part of the world is - I felt fortunate to experience it. I woke up to sheep on the grassy roof and went for beautiful runs to the port. Life is good at the Pod. I'd definitely stay here again. - Tammie (Berkeley, California)

We had a fantastic break and would definitely return. Amazing location, very quiet & peaceful. - Sean (Dublin)

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights. The Pod itself is fantastic, compact but has everything you need. There is something quite magical about it. The views are beautiful, especially first thing in the morning. It's so quiet and peaceful and is in the perfect spot for walking. The walk down to the Port is great, some lovely views and wildlife along the way. Mary the housekeeper is a gem, so helpful and friendly. We will definitely book again. - Catherine (Belfast)

This is a superb Pod in a fantastic location in South West Donegal, perfect for exploring the surrounding countryside and all that it has to offer. Mary (the housekeeper down the lane) is a lovely lady and was very helpful in advising on anything in the Pod and again in relation to the area that it is located. No hesitation in recommending the place to anyone, you won't be disappointed. - Chris (N.I.)

To put it short: a great place! Thanks to Greg's instructions, there is no problem at all to find the spot. The Pod is equipped with everything you might need, a full kitchen and bath, and we really enjoyed our daily breakfasts and dinners outside with the stunning view. A little lake, blue sky and, of course, roaming sheep. Keep in mind: It is a little remote (so do your shopping before) but this actually does the trick. It is quiet and peaceful and just the right place to get some rest. Thanks to Greg and Mary, who are always happy to help or to have a little chat, you will most definitely be very welcome to CroPod! - Franz (Berlin)
