  • "Property was lovely and clean when we arrived."

    No notes to let us know what to do about waste and recycling. I did msg owner about recycling but no response to msg. Very limited cleaning products available and as we were staying a week I would've expected more. Other places we have stayed cleaning products were supplied. Downstairs bed was very uncomfortable and living chair was broken. Had been repaired with silicone previously but in my opinion was unsafe to use

    Lovely decor and spotlessly clean. Location is great with beaches and amenities in close proximity. Would definitely recommend!

  • "A gorgeous little house, that is deceptively spacious inside."

    Beautifully decorated and very cosy with all that is needed. Indeed if I could lift the cottage up and bring it home I would, as the styling is very much to my taste. A short walk or drive down to a fabulous beach. And Teach Jack close by has amazing food. It was a week well spent and we will be back to Donegal soon to explore this fabulous part of the world. The only small negative is that the garden isn’t enclosed, so it may not be suitable for all dog owners.

    We stayed a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very comfortable, well equipped, warm and modern. Not an artificial flower in sight!! Will definitely be back.

  • "The Cottage was lovely, very clean and everything you needed."

    The owners were quick to help out or resolve any queries we had. Great sea views. Ideally you need a rotating sofa so you can enjoy the views during the day and spin round into the cosy living room with wood burner fire in the evening. Location suited us and the back garden with swing ball and the swings.
