Teach na Réalta

We enjoyed our stay, we loved eating in the sunroom.

The garden is beautiful and the views amazing. Bedroom with en-suite was the one we used and was very comfortable. Everything you need for a holiday away from home was provided to make the stay good. The house is Dog friendly and a cafe in Donegal town called Simply Simon was a great place to go for lunch and welcomed our dog with open arms.

Our Family had an incredible 4 nights at Teach Na Realta recently and absolutely loved the cottage and location.

The cottage is a short drive to Donegal town and Killybegs but also in an incredibly peaceful and tranquil location. We loved the garden space. We will definitely by back again and would recommend the cottage to anyone who would like a little time in the countryside.

The property was ample size for a family of four.

The outside garden area was beautiful and picturesque. Inside, the property was characteristic with homly comforts, however there were lots of personal effects in drawers and cupboards which prevented us from storing our own belongings during our belongings. There was no space in the kitchen to store our food as all cupboards were full one with food and the freezer also had leftover food in. The property inside required a good clean with the main shower mouldy and whilst we appreciate it is a cottage the property was very dusty when we arrived. Greg emailed a few days before our stay informing us there was some work needed to be completed such as an interior wall that required painting and emailed to check in and let us know when the gardener was visiting.

It’s a very beautiful place so relaxing full off charm if you want a quiet comfortable and out in nature this is the perfect place the host are lovely thank you for sharing this beautiful home

Lovely holiday cottage in Donegall.

Couldn't have wished for a better location. House has lots of character and a beautiful big garden which was perfect for our dog, Lily. We would definitely stay here again!!

A great place to replenish the soul and mind, plenty of peaceful surroundings and clean fresh air.

The house was very comfortable, clean, plenty of sleeping options, all the basics you need. There are plenty of places to visit, the usual touristy places but some hidden gems too if you are adventurous! Owner is good at communicating and attentive. We had an enjoyable time.

I had a truly wonderful stay at Teach a Réalta.

The house, garden, and surroundings far surpassed my expectations. The house blends the charm of a traditional Donegal cottage with modern additions, creating a cosy, homely atmosphere while still feeling spacious and ideal for a large family. Rather than the slightly clinical feel that some investment properties have, this house offers a mix and match collection of items gathered over time, giving it the warmth of a lived in family home. It is clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need to whip up a delicious meal. The conservatory and terrace offer lovely spots to relax or eat while enjoying the surroundings, whatever the Donegal weather may bring! The garden is a work of love and continued to surprise me changing with the light, the wind, and the sun. It is large, private, and very well maintained. Although some trees were damaged in a recent storm, the cleanup has been carefully and thoughtfully done. The gate to the property may appear small, but even with my questionable reversing skills and newly acquired experience driving on the left, I was able to comfortably ease my rather large Ford S-Max through without incident! We met some local wildlife in the form of a ginormous hare and a hedgehog. The birds are plentiful and full of song. Even the local sheep and cows were curious and welcoming. As the name of the house suggests, the stars are astoundingly clear. The nights are dark and wonderfully quiet. Shops are just a 10–15 minute drive away. The walks around the house are beautiful, and my dog loved exploring with me, on a lead at all times for peace of mind. There is so much to see and do in the area. It was my first time in Donegal, and I will most certainly be back. Greg is a wonderful host. He is open, welcoming, and available for questions and suggestions on what to see and do during your stay, while also giving his guests plenty of space and privacy.
