Reviewed Sep 18, 2026Very clean,very cozy, and very conveniently located to the lovely town of Ardara, Donegal.
They washing machine was nice but the drying rack took a while to dry the clothes. The heat in the house was too warm and made sleeping difficult. The water in the shower had a strange "asparagus" smell. The fireplace was not used as there was no wood available or instructions.

Reviewed May 11, 2026Das Cottage war in einer sehr ruhigen Lage. Aber so wollten wir es. Wir reisten mit 2Hunden für die genug Platz war. Ein sehr schönes Cottage.Für 4 Personen ausreichend. Wir haben sehr gute Anweisungen bekommen, um das Haus zu finden. Auch waren die Hinweise für Heizung und WLAN sehr gut. Wer eine ruhige Unterkunft sucht ist hier genau richtig.
Das Einzige was nicht ganz perfekt war, war die wackelige Badewanne. Duschen war aber trotzdem möglich.
Een ruim huis, prachtig uitzicht, rustig gelegen. Goede uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te verkennen. Ook de eenvoudige keuken was goed gevuld met koffie, thee en kruiden.
Een echt gezellige, beschutte zithoek buiten was er nauwelijks.

Reviewed Apr 14, 2026The destination was great exactly what I was looking for . cottage had plenty of room for the 3 adults staying . The owners were very helpful as we had quite a few hiccups, and when I reached out these were fixed .
Unfortunately, apon arrival the cottage was dirty. The floors hadn't been brushed. There was dust on every surface, and we found a bottle of paprika under a chair in the living room and rubbish under the couch . This was upsetting as I picked based on the fabulous reviews as I would rather stay further out but somewhere good, so this was disappointing.
Secondly when we arrived the heating was off and the bathroom window wide open so the cottage was freezing cold and took several hours to heat up we put the heating on straight away and then tried to light the fire but dint have anything to light the fire with however when I messaged the owner did send someone who was great and came and gave us what we needed and started the fire for us .
On the second day the alarm kept going off to top up the electricity so we had to sort the with the own .
This property has so much potential was just unfortunate few hiccups.

We were with another couple and had the cottage to ourselves. Sharing the bathroom was no issue.
Breakfast was not included as we had ability to make meals etc. Appreciated the comfort and warmth of the cottage. It was all and more of what we required fof the 2 nights.
We were prepared for rainy weather but we experienced more than our share. A dryer provided in the cottage would have been helpful as we were unable to hang clothes to dry.
