• "Enjoyed our stay immensely."

  The cottage is so comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. The kitchen has all the facilities one needs Including dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer plus cups, plates, pots and pans and cutlery. The children enjoyed the swings and the open space to run about. Our week went in too quick but would definitely come back to Ellen Cottage and have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends. Anne and Roy McKee and family.

• "Excellent base for a holiday in the Donegal area, with views of a lake, and mountains, and a short drive to the sea."

  Well equipped and good accomodation for a family of four adults. Was brilliantly surprised to see a visiting Jay on the bird nuts and a heron flying up from the field opposite. A joy for birdwatchers like myself! I would definitely consider staying there again.

  The kitchen was very well equipped. It was just so cozy with wonderful views. We did spend a lot of time watching birds come to the bird feeder just outside the bedroom window. The owners were so lovely and very responsive. We even had a phone call to check things were ok when we hadn’t arrived on the first day- the ferry had been cancelled. We would definitely come back again.

• "We had a lovely stay at Ellen’s cottage."

  The peace and quiet of the countryside and the amazing views were exactly what we were looking for. The cottage was warm and comfortable, with room for groceries in the kitchen which was well equipped with a large fridge/freezer and fan oven. The bed was very comfortable, as were the living room sofa and chairs. Elish and Tom made sure we were settled in but then left us to enjoy the cottage. We particularly enjoyed the bird feeders in front of the kitchen window-a lovely touch! We found plenty to do in surrounding area, and would recommend this cottage for families or couples wanting to get away from it all. If you haven’t visited Donegal before, the coast is just stunning!

  Thank you so much you's are welcome anytime it's lovely to hear feedback thank you .much appreciated Tom and Elish Property Owner

  The cottage was more than we expected, the photos do not do it justice! It has a secure garden and play equipment for kids. It is all on 1 level so ideal for elderly family members. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed definitely a home away from home. Elish was so lovely, not invasive just checked in made sure we had settled okay and did we need anything. Everything run smoothly from the start to end of our holiday even bad weather didn't dampen our time at the cottage. Will definitely be returning in future

• "We have really enjoyed our holidays in Ellen's Cottage."

  The location is stunning, overlooking a lake and with the table and benches outside, we ate there as much as we could. Inside we found everything we needed for a family of six: comfortable beds, an oven, a dishwasher and a washing machine with the a dryer. There was even a small playground behind the cottage and a lot of land to run around. The location is secluded, with nearest house being about 200 meters away but hidden behind trees. The communication with Tom and Elish was first class, wifi was working well as well as the TV. There really is nothing that we missed there but as for us, we are surely missing the cottage already. Plus, Donegal is out of this world, stunning. I have not hesitation to recommend the cottage.

• "The cottages was lovely and was spotless when we arrived."

  It was a nice base for getting around the coastal area of Donegal and it's beautiful scenery. Mountcharles pier a couple of miles away was nice,ideal for children with it's petting farm and Alpaca further along. The coastline is great for photos. We were thankful that Elish and Tom came out and sorted the tv out for us,not that we had much time to watch it but nice all the same. Well worth booking if you want to stay in the area and I know we wouldn't hesitate to in the future.

• "Just back from great family holiday in Ellen's Cottage, what a perfect base."

  House was even nicer then the pictures suggested. Elish and Tom made stay very easy for us and there were alot of nice little touches, they had thought of everything from high chair to a hair dryer, even the things you wouldn't think of yourself. We only enjoyed a small part of what this beautiful county has to offer and I think we will book again next year. We surfed every morning in Rossnowlagh (20 mins away), there's fishing lakes on the doorstep and there are amazing beaches nearby (Inver, St John's Point and Fintra within 20 mins). There's an excellent pier in Mountcharles with lovely coffee/crepe shop with small farm attached with chickens, ducks, bunnies, peacock and alpacas that are a great distraction for small kids if you want to grab a quick coffee. Water by the pier was so clean you could be fish, crabs and prawns clearly. Next time we'll bring life jackets to try pier jumping if tide is in. Thanks Elish and Tom, regards, Aoife and Jimmy

• "Ellen's Cottage was better than we could have expected!"

  It was so comfortable and had all the amenities that we needed, including a cosy cot with bedding and a high chair for our baby. It is a perfect base for exploring the beautiful Donegal and a lovely place to return in the evening for a nice hot shower and an extremely comfortable nights sleep! We are so sad to leave and would return to this cottage in a heartbeat. Although we couldn't meet Eilish and Tom face to face because of Covid 19, they kept in touch over the phone and were wonderful hosts. I would highly recommend this Cottage to anyone wanting to explore Donegal and all it has to offer.
