The Rockhouse - Cosy stone built Thatch Cottage

Gorgeous little house in beautifully cared for surroundings, the owners have obviously made a huge effort to make it lovely and inviting. Dungloe is also close and has everything you need during your stay. There are beautiful beaches nearby and some friendly pubs. Great for a short break.

The shower only has one wall, so it flooded the floor when it was used. The oven is also quite old, but it got the job done. There were some midges in the garden due to the stream.

The cottage is authentic… a true hidden gem. The grounds around it are magical. My family (2 adults, 2 kids) and our two dogs had an amazing time. Our golden retriever especially loved the stream and chasing the little fish. It’s a lovely, quiet place to relax in nature and listen to the flowing water — so peaceful. Michael and Yvonne were lovely and very accommodating. We will definitely be back!

We loved everything

When we arrived there was a very strong smell of damp. My 80 year old mother suffers from asthma and there is no way she could stay there so we left and contacted the hosts. They refused to refund us. It was terribly disappointing.

Fantastic cottage in a wonderful location , perfect to base yourself to discover Donegal , beautiful gardens around the cottage with a stream running through which the kids loved exploring .

Traditional cottage in the outside and lovely and homely on the inside with great facilities and hosts. A perfect place to relax for a few days.

Beautiful cottage in a magnificent location

Nothing we disliked

Really queant with everything working fridge dishwasher etc. Lovely location where it's completely out of it.

Nothing really . Rained a good but was only problem

The cottage is set in an eclectic garden in a secluded location. The inside of the cottage is well equiped. I left something behind and the host was very kind to post it on to me.

The cottage is a little tucked away, so there are no views from the actual property. The kitchen is small, but perfectly adequate.

Everything about the cottage was great .It was a re set from life. So cozy .Great base to travel around Donegal

Traditional Western Irish cottage. The fire was a real treat. Comfy beds.

Lack of TV (particularly when the weather can be so unpredictable).

We liked that it was dog friendly and the gardens surrounding it have little pathways and a stream to explore. The thatched cottage is traditional and cosy. Wood burning fire is great.

Perhaps a bit more closed off for dog. Ours was well behaved though.

Beautiful location for a short break, cottage had everything you need. Host was welcoming and we enjoyed all aspects of the cottage.

We had a wonderful stay at this whimsical little cottage in Dungloe. It’s beautifully cosy and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for a really comfortable stay. The location is ideal close to Dungloe town, beaches, and within easy reach of Glenveagh National Park, making it a perfect base for exploring Donegal. One of the highlights was the lovely stream running through the property, which added to the peaceful, magical feel of the place. It’s also exceptionally dog‑friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A truly special spot that we’d happily return to.

So many things to love about this place, the cottage itself is so cosy, clean, has all facilities you could need, hot water, comfy beds, beautiful fire and fuel. The outdoor spaces were fantastic so quirky and fun, great to dander about with our dog. The views and surroundings were stunning. The info pack provided by our hosts was fantastic. Shops and lovely beaches just a short drive. The whole place has been very thoughtfully created, a lot of effort and interesting wee details just added to the experience.

Leaving

We absolutely loved everything about our stay at The Rockhouse. The cottage is beautifully and tastefully furnished, with everything you could possibly need provided. The wood-burning stove is wonderfully cosy, the games room is great and the setting made it a perfect retreat in nature. The location is ideal: easy to find, close to rugged beaches, viewpoints, and the peat bogs, and just a short drive from Dungloe town. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with welcoming, friendly, and helpful hosts, this is the place to be, whatever the weather!

It was a magical spot we had a lovely time Thoughtful attentive but not intrusive hosts just perfect

We had the most wonderful few days at The Rockhouse. While we were blessed with the weather in Donegal that week, it would not have mattered in terms of our experience here. The outside grounds are a wonder! Yvonne and Michael have landscaped outside beautifully and it was joy. The house is wonderfully equipped to live in with Dungloe only a few km drive for shopping, pub grub etc.

Nothing to add here.

We had such a Cosy & peaceful stay at the Rockhouse. The Hosts Yvonne & Michael were on hand if we needed them. Pictures don’t do the Cottage justice, it’s gorgeous inside. Grounds are also stunning with a stream running alongside the cottage, a perfect country escape.

Fabulous stay, brilliant location, but a car is definitely needed. There is an e-car charging point at the property. The owners have done amazing work restoring and enhancing the property including creating a sustainable heat source with the pump and the insulation. We really appreciated the local wildlife, including a couple of visiting pheasants, the wood fire and provided logs and the in-house library. We even saw the northern lights, with the host messaging us to let us know to look for them. Such a magical, special place, can't wait to return.

Nothing, it was ideal.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely, quiet location. Friendly and helpful host.

Beautiful and relaxing house in a tranquil setting. A couple of minutes drive to fantastic beaches and walks, as well as being a short distance from the supermarket. The house itself has everything you need. Just all round a great place to relax. We'll be back.

The cottage is a fabulous place to stay. I fully recommend it.

The location was excellent for a peaceful break. Quiet cosy cottage . The stars in the sky at night was like a picture . The hosts were very friendly and helpful on places to go and sights to see . Beautiful county

So comfortable, the location is stunning, has absolutely everything you could possibly need. The beds were really comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and throws. We loved the cosy feel, the log burning fire and how peaceful the surroundings were. My daughter who is 12 loved it so much we have booked to come back again. The hosts Michael and yvonne made us feel so welcome. Its a 10 minute drive to the nearest supermarket and there are a good selection. Aldi, lidl and supervalue. We mostly cooked in the cottage and the kitchen was immaculate and had all the utensils and appliances we needed. The nearest beach is just 10 minutes away. We can't wait to come back again.

Yvonne & Michael are lovely hosts. Very kind and welcoming 😀 They've done a wonderful job restoring the cottage with super insulation, solar panels and a heat pump! It's located in the middle of a gorgeous mature garden with useful out buildings. And the views of the bog are spectacular. The sea isn't nearby but you can drive or walk to it. The cottage is very confortable and well laid-out. Great WiFi, x3 Google nests, no TV but you can bring a smart TV or Chromecast to stream smoothly. Beautiful scenery all around with great scenic walks (bog, countryside, seaside, hill). The family loved the experience of living in an authentic thatched cottage for a week! Thank you Yvonne and Michael for all the treats and your Joie de vivre quirkiness 🪻🤩☘️👌🌞😀 Anne, John, Charlie and Shauna 💞

Beautiful location. Friendly hosts. Care and attention to detail throughout the property!

Beautiful cottage.
