    House was cold but it was explained (boiler had broken down but new one installed and no-one had been in before us). Few small maintenance issues which had been caused by other users but were to be made good. Lovely people to deal with and nothing that spoilt our holiday. Thank you Marie and Charlie for your prompt and courteous attention.

  • "Having read some of the previous negative ( re cooker) feedback we did book this house with a little trepidation."

    Our fears were not realised. The house was spotless and we were welcomed by the lovely housekeeper. Our only gripe is, however, that there are NO recycling facilities at the property , which in this day and age we find to be most remiss and dare one say unethical? Guests may choose to be lazy and not recycle their household items, but please at least give them the opportunity to do so.

  • "Great house, with a great size."

    No safety locks on windows for children. Few of inventory worn around the edges. Eg tv’s in bedrooms that don’t work. Remotes don’t work on other tv’s. couple of exposed wires in sunroom and living room. Lack of comfortable and enclosed outdoor space is the only reason I would not take my family back again to this property. Overall, a lovely house with very comfortable beds.

  • "The house is very worn and its obvious that the owner doesn't really care much for the property."

    There were no wardrobes in the kids bedrooms, couch was broken, oven was disgusting inside. We didn't cook at all in the house. TVs in the rooms didn't work. Not worth the money.

  • "Before the holiday I tried to contact Sykes customer services about travelling to Ireland and the legality of going to the cottage."

    Your service was poor. Long waiting times and and a customer services rep who was not aware of the restrictions about travelling to Southern Ireland. In her words 'Sykes were only responsible for letting the cottage and after that they had no responsibility'.

    The house was very warm, cosy and comfortable and it was great to have use of the log fire. The perfect holiday for families with toys and games for the kids when the weather closes in and wetsuits for them to use for beach acttion.

A fantastic bungalow located in the countryside close to the town of Creeslough in County Donegal.

This lovely cottage is well-furnished, offering plenty of space, and is an excellent base for a group of family or friends to get together and explore the surrounding areas, with easy access to Letterkenny and beyond.

This lovely cottage is set on the ground floor with three comfortable bedrooms.

There is also a well-equipped open plan kitchen with a dining area and a living area with a solid fuel stove, giving it a more communal feel by not leaving the chef out of discussions while tomorrow’s adventures are being planned.

Once everyone has been fed and watered, make your way into the separate sitting room with comfortable sofas and an open fire, perfect for relaxing and watching a movie.

Alternatively, head into the conservatory and curl up with a good book and a glass of wine.

Pull on your walking boots and go for a walk to take in the local scenery or hop on you bike and take a spin through the countryside and along the coast.

Marble Hill Beach is a short drive and is a popular surfing location all year round.

An excellent cottage with plenty to offer, that must be booked at once!
