"Wow, just Wow. We used to stay in a property near by but they have sold. We love the area and were looking for somewhere else, well Elaine's place at the Fort was a little Gem.The apartment was stunning, the views from the terrace were breathtaking, we had mixed weather but even then the views were Stunning. Elaine as a host, I can't thank her enough if I could give her more than 10 out of 10 I would, nothing was too much bother. Everything was catered for on the one occasion I needed to ask a question Elaine replied, She was out celebrating Her Wedding Anniversary so that tells you her dedication to being a first class host and for looking after her guests.The location is fantastic small local shops, a nice friendly Pub the Ferryport and a lovely Indian restaurant Sultans. The larger Town Moville is great and has a bigger shop and our Favourite Restaurant Rosatos, Friday quiz night is a must and music on a SaturdayLocal beaches we love from staying in the area for 20 years are Stroove and Kinnigoe Bay but there are others so enjoy the search.Going back to the apartment we have rented places from short and long weekends to longer stays from 1 or 2 weeks and we have never stayed somewhere that has everything whatever you need the Fort apartment has it.If you are thinking of booking and wondering if you should, if you don't you will be missing out on a fantastic apartment with incredible views over Loch Foyle"
