  • "We absolutely loved our stay at Millers Lane House, & Caroline & John were helpful & welcoming hosts."

    We were 3 couples, so the space & facilities were excellent. The layout of the house is great with amazing views from the lounge & main bedroom, everywhere else bright & airy. The location is amazing, with all the facilities of Muff only just down the road. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed if you decide to stay at this lovely house & location.

    Thank you so much ☺️ Property Owner

    Comfortable and well equipped although some of the chairs and beds were a little bit tired. The vacuum cleaner head was broken, so we weren’t able to clean up very efficiently. But the kitchen was very well equipped and we had no problem cooking for a large group. A lovely place for a family get together.

    We were very happy. Only a couple of minor issues: we brought a dog and the local lanes are not really dog walking safe - no paths and fast cars. The other issue was the AGA is on all the time and therefore the property was really warm. Other than that,a lovely place I would highly recommend people visit.

    We rented the property for Christmas and found that the extra dishes and cookware I brought from home were not needed -- fully equipped kitchen to prepare and serve an enormous Christmas dinner to 11 people (American style fridge helps with storage!). Beds were comfortable, bathrooms clean, and the living space is set up for maximum socialising. We had three generations in the house and all were happy.

  • "Great, spacious house in the most beautiful donegal."

    Unfortunatley the spin wasn't working on the washing machine and the bottom tray of the dishwasher wasn't functioning either. Bottom spinner not turning. Functioning washing machine and dishwasher is a very basic request on self catering.... House appeared clean on arrival, but more than once on moving furniture, especially chairs in the sitting room, rubbish from previous occupants still on the floor. ... clearly not hoovered/swept. We booked a higher standard of house than usual this year, we've been self catering in Ireland for years..... i've never been so dissapointed. As a stay at home home mom with 6 kids the last thing I wanted for my holidays was so many hours washing up due to a poor functioning dishwasher or to be picking up other peoples rubbish!!

    The rooms are big and comfortable, the views to die for. I would say the beds were not terribly comfortable and seemed old, and the lights, where there were multiple bulbs in a fixture just had one measly bulb in each. In the bathroom, this was particularly a problem. On the whole, however, the house was great.
