Ballydevitt Retreat

Perfect house with everything you could ask for, so quiet at night! We walked into town a few times and lots of lovely pubs to choose from. Highly recommend

The location was fabulous and the house itself was so homely, clean and perfect for a weekend away. Paula could not have been more accommodating and we will definitely be back to stay next time in Donegal! 🍀

Loved the place, quite a comfortable house and the cleanliness was impeccable. Had a great time at Donegal, being my first time over north. I was impressed that the owner left jackets at the entrance, as the road to the house might be a bit dangerous walking in the dark, so thumbs up to that. The bed are really comfortable and the fireplace with wood being provided was a nice add-on. Would definitely come back!

The property felt very welcoming from the off, heating was on a timer which was good given the cold weather conditions upon arrival, the wood burning stove added an extra homely feeling.

Ballydevitt was fabulous, really clean and comfortable. It's the perfect location for exploring Donegal and Donegal Town is fantastic and bustling with visitors. 10/10

Great location and incredibly cosy house! Would definitely book a stay here again!

Very comfortable home from home. Lovely location near to town.

Having the whole building was great. The space was good and the location was great for walking into Donegal. Very easy to communicate with the host through booking.com chat function.

The television didn't work for many channels. The toilet didn't flush properly which was not ideal. Parking situation was not the best for motorcycles, but we managed alright.

Very comfortable, well equipped

Nothing

The house is in a lovely location close to Donegal town, and has a great garden to the side where our dog loved roaming. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed comfy, and the binder with local tips from the owners super helpful (we discovered some lovely beaches thanks to their maps).

Never saw our host but she communicated well, and left good instructions. Kitchen is fully equipped and location is only a mile from grocery and other shopping. Far enough from town to avoid some of the bustle and noise of Donegal town, which can get quite busy. Was nice to step out the back door and hear birdsongs. Even heard a cuckoo once. TV room is a nice place to relax and converse. Bathroom and shower are well setup and easy to use. One of the few places where it was easy to control the heat when you needed it. There are great things to do, like the walk along the northern edge of the harbor by the river. Spent time in the pubs, which can get quite crowded in summer months. Best acoustics were in Dom's Pier 1 on Quay Street. Best view of locals having a great time was in the Reel Inn by the river bridge. For a great meal try Simple Simon's, where Quay Street meets the diamond.

We were on foot much of the time, so wish the sidewalks extended a bit further out of town. But it was a nice walk if you are up for it, about twenty minutes or so (just mind the traffic when cars are going both directions at once). Easy to get a taxi to it from town, tougher in the other direction (and forget Sunday morning). Donegal is known as a seat of traditional Irish music, but we mostly encountered ballads and even American country songs, covering artists such as Johnny Cash, John Denver and Kenny Rogers. Not what we expected or hoped for.

Very clean and tidied.very comfortable living room

Nice location, a short drive from the town and easy to find. Very well kept house and a pleasant stay.

Convenient location - apart from driving, if you fancy a pub night, you can walk 15mins to town. On the way walking back don't forget to look up to the sky and check the stars! (Wearing the vests provided by the host). Lounge with fireplace, TV, speakers and records - Cozy home-like. More than expected cooking equipments - didn't expect there's a rice cooker and a slow cooker! Chef friend managed to make the best lamb stew and stir-fried rice in this house! Happy memories! Easy check in and check out. Pet friendly. Also love the blue folder carefully prepared by the host! It has plenty of useful local info inside! Do read it! We found the very best seafood chowder in olde castle bar based on the instruction! 💗 Would recommend this place to everyone!
