FYO .Highchair would be an added bonus and an outside table. Other than that ,it was perfect for us Am

Reviewed Jun 11, 2025The house is roomy and comfortable. The hostess made every attempt to provide a sense of home away from home. It is well-outfitted - she has even provided a sandwich toaster and an air-fryer. We loved that there were the family sheep on the property. Quiet and yet only 2 km from town.
It was a bit of a surprise that we had to put coins into the electricity meter. It would have been nice to know we needed coins ahead of time. Getting a message about the location and check-in procedures the day before we arrived would have been helpful too.

Reviewed Jun 3, 2025This cottage is excellent and situated in a beautiful, scenic location. My 18-month-old enjoyed the open space and loved interacting with the sheeps in the backyard—the best place to relax and unwind. We were undisturbed and had a lovely weekend soaking in everything nature has to offer. It is close to most tourist destinations. Groceries are 25 minutes away, but you can pick them up on the way to the cottage.
The electricity was pay-per-use and had to be covered by us (the host was kind enough to provide some coins to get started with), but we expected it to be covered by the host. The bathroom did not have any toiletries; once again, we expected to find basic toiletries (body wash, lotion) just like in any B&B.

Reviewed Jan 2, 2025Cozy, warm and just a wonderful healing place. After a tough year - Heather Cottage helped recalibrate for the start of a new year. Hosts were so kind and friendly; clearly loved their holiday home.

Reviewed Nov 18, 2024Our stay at the cottage was truly exceptional. The location was perfect peaceful, quiet, and thoughtfully designed. The cottage itself was spotless, with every detail carefully prepared, making it feel like a home away from home. It was equipped with everything we could possibly need, and more. The area is wonderfully strategic, with easy access to amazing spots within a short drive. We especially loved climbing Errigal Mountain, strolling along the boardwalk, and dining at a lovely local restaurant, sauna at the Marble hill beach. The outdoor space was equally impressive, especially for our dog, who loved running freely in the gated area. One of the highlights was enjoying a cup of tea while watching the sheep grazing just in front of us it was such a serene and beautiful experience. The cottage was also incredibly warm and cozy, with the oil heating and stove making it easy to create a snug atmosphere. After a day of exploring, it was just wonderful to relax on the comfy couch with family, sipping a warm cup of tea and feeling the heat from the stove. For anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a stunning setting, I couldn’t recommend this place more highly.
Nothing bad to report .

Reviewed Sep 4, 2024Cottage may be not so easy to find, internet didn't work sometimes on the small lanes around Creeslough, we had a few wrong turns the first time. Before you start, look at google maps for "Heather Cottage" as the destination for your navigation system. Being there, it was a very peaceful and quiet stay. Glenveagh national park, mount Errigal and the northern coast in an half hour driving distance. Great place for hiking.

Reviewed Dec 31, 2023The cottage is very big, well equipped, well insulated and keeps warm in the winter, and there’s a fireplace. It’s perfectly located in the country side, with no other house around and between hills. It’s quiet, and gorgeous location, really ideal for a holiday away from the city. Our stay there was amazing and the hosts were very welcoming, accommodating and friendly. We really felt pampered. That said, we’re thankful to both for making the stay so awesome, and would absolutely book again!

Definitely a home from home ❤️ so many beautiful walks in the area & we especially loved our sheep neighbours during our stay 🙏🏼😇 we can’t wait to go back. David & Suzanne are very helpful & there was a lot of information booklets for us to pick and choose from the best attractions to local pubs & restaurants. Five stars from us ⭐️

Reviewed Sep 2, 2023Very peaceful, not a sound to be heard. The host checked a couple of times that all was ok and then left us be. After a long journey the host had the stove lit for us and it was so welcoming when we opened the door.
Not a thing could be improved on.

Reviewed Aug 6, 2023Beautiful location in the gorgeous Donegal Hills. So quiet and peaceful, just what we needed to recharge our batteries and get away from it all. A bonus was the enclosed area which meant our daughter could bring her dog along. Close to all the lovely scenery, Ards Park, Glenveagh Park, Mt Errigal, beautiful beaches of the North Atlantic Way etc. Close to Creeslough village for shopping and only 25 minutes from Letterkenny for leisure centres, cinema and big town shopping. Owners Suzanne and David were helpful and accessible if needed. Hope to return.
No complaints.
