De dwingende toon van het verzoek op een bordje om je rommel op te ruimen. En alles moeten desinfecteren i.v.m. covid is wel erg overdreven. Het gaf een onbehaaglijk gevoel in een verder zo fijn huisje.

Reviewed Aug 30, 2023If you're looking for a cosy cottage in a rural get away from it all setting then Willie's cottage surrounded by lovely scenery, ticks all the boxes. The standard of cleanliness is excellent. The cottage is well equipped, well furnished and warm . The open fire is delightful should bad weather close in. If the sun shines there is a picnic bench and garden chairs where you can enjoy the tranquil setting.
There was nothing we didn't like but visitors need to be aware there is only one bathroom with a shower in the main part of the cottage and the one toilet with wash basin adjoining the third bedroom which has a separate entrance..

Reviewed Aug 16, 2023It was a lovely cosy comfortable cottage in good location and was extremely clean. There was also good Wi-Fi.
There was no rte/tv3 channels on tv which didn’t really bother us as we were out sightseeing most of the day. But would have been a bit frustrating if we were staying when a big GAA game was on as we try and watch as many of these as possible. That said otherwise we highly recommend this cottage.

Reviewed Jun 26, 2023The house is located in a remote part of Donegal, surrounded by beautiful scenery. At night the only sound was the wind in the hills and in the daytime the sheep were our neighbours. The house was clean and cosy and the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of room outside for the children to play. The host thought of everything and we really appreciated the wine and wheaten bread on arrival.
No negatives but visitors should be aware that it's quite far from a shop
