Cecil's Cottage, Ballynary, Buncrana by Wild Atlantic Wanderer

The hosts could not have been more welcoming. They even brought a beautiful birthday cake for my nephews 10th birthday. So kind. The house was stunning. The attention to detail and homliness. Brilliant for a family holidays. We came after a family tragedy in May and I can honestly say thanks to the place and people we returned home just a little bit more healed xx thanks

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful area, outstanding views and lovely beach on your doorstep. The cottage is very clean and has all the amenities that you need, Eileen and Seamus are very welcoming and friendly and left lovely treats on our arrival which was much appreciated,Irish hospitality at it’s best.

Everything was super😊

Scenery, hosts and house.

N/A

The hosts (warm and friendly); the location (scenic and tranquil); the fixtures and fittings (in character with the house). An authentic Donegal experience! SuperValu was convenient to get 1 Euro coins for Hot Water and Heating. Look forward to going back - we would in a heart beat.

Some of the furniture and fittings looked a bit tired BUT added to the authenticity of the experience.

What a gem of a cottage. We were met by Seamus cutting the grass who gave us a warm welcome, and had the stove lit. Eileen then came to show us the facilities. The cottage looks small from the front but there is loads of room, and the bonus of the attached annex was great. We were left a lovely welcome pack of milk, butter, crisps, fresh soda loaf and baps which was a welcome start to our stay. All rooms were a great size and the kitchen had everything we required. The cottage itself is starting to look a bit tired but that all doesn't matter because the location is amazing. The views from the cottage out the back is spectacular, and these can be enjoyed outside on the patio, or from the large sun room, which means it can be enjoyed all weathers. Short walk down the field and you are at a beautiful beach. There is no traffic about so it really is a getaway from busy life. Our hosts were so kind (they left a card and small gift for a birthday we were celebrating) and checked that we didn't need anything. We had 2 dogs with us, and it is the perfect place for them, with a garden at the back that they can run about in. We also had daily visits from Buddy the dog, who came to check on his new friends everyday.

There is some areas within the cottage that could do with a bit of work (some door handles loose, and doors unable to lock), but these really didn't matter as the cottage was clean, great size and the location is perfect.

Authentic charm , beautiful setting.

N/A

We have stayed at Cecil's cottage three times now and will never tire of the view from the conservatory nor of Seamus and Eileen's hospitality. We will definitely be back again.

The hosts were very accommodating and the location was perfect with a lovely coastal path for walks into the town. Lovely working fore places!

Fabulous view , lovely location . The owners were extremely welcoming and very generous .

Where do I start? The view, the house, the lovely hosts, the beautiful fittings and even eggs, water, milk, bread and a cake in the kitchen upon our arrival - would not know what else to wish for! We have spent so many holidays in Ireland already, but never had the pleasure and privilege to spend it in such a beautiful house. We could not have had a better holiday. We enjoyed every minute of it. Everything was just perfect - also thanks to our very generous and caring hosts!
