La décoration est incroyable. Le chauffage facile d utilisation et performant.
Sortir la voiture est parfois dangereux car les voitures roulent vite.
Amazing property with beautiful views of the surrounding area. The house interior was very homey, clean and filled wonderful little touches.
Very clean and welp presented

Un apartament molt ben equipat i molt net. Molt cómode i tranquil, ideal per passar uns diesi sobretot si hi van amb nens, té molts jocs i espai tancat a fora per jugar
Massa carregat de decoració : coixins, ninos de peluix, ... que queda molt bonic però que has d'apartar per poder seure o dormir. Segurament que és l'estil del pais però per nosaltres massa carregat
Lovely quaint cottage located in beautiful countryside. Accommodation is everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Kitchen very well equipped as is the bathroom. Plenty of space outside (patio + garden)with fabulous views. Beltany stone circle and Oakfield house and gardens only minutes from the cottage.
Beautiful comfortable cosy house, great facilities in bathroom and kitchen. Lovely spacious garden with furniture. Beautifully decorated
Einfach alles, sehr gemütlich und top ausgestattet! In jeder einzelnen Ecke steckt Liebe zum Detail und es ist wirklich alles da, was man braucht.
Mir hat alles gefallen, die Kinder jammerten etwas über langsames Internet, tut ihnen aber mal gut 😂
The cottage was so delightfully decorated and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed. Loved the garage and the basket ball goal outside was fun to use. The bathroom was just perfect great size for soaking and the shower a lovely and nicely powerful.
Not a lot to complain about but the only thing would have made it better would to have another bathroom.
The cottage felt like a friend's house, everything that we needed was there and it was very cosy.

Un peu plus de torchons
I love everything about this property, this is now my second time being here and will 100% be back. This is my favourite property of all the places I have been so far. I love the styling , quirkiness of the property. The place is spotless, the last time I stayed here it was pretty spotless, but I feel this time, It seemed as though somehow it felt as if it had a deep clean, can’t explain it , just felt super spotless this time around. The beds are comfy, the bathroom is great , the kitchen has everything you could ever need. Outside is just as good, a concrete area for kids to play, basketball ball etc ( yes there is a net there). A large grass area to play or just chill on, a patio area with bench. And if you like wildlife your in luck also, because I think I spent over an hour at my breakfast just watching the rabbits walk round the garden unfazed by me , just doing what rabbits do. The bedrooms are very spacious with just about every game you could want to play. This is 100% the cleanest and well kit out house we have been to.
If I was to be super critical, and in a perfect world , I would like a slightly bigger tv and perhaps just a slightly faster internet, just because there are 6 of us and with the kids and that all on tablets etc at times , it came be a strain. But this it just me being super critical as I love my tv , and I have a massive tv at home and it just makes other tvs look so small to me now and hard to watch. But this is not going to be an issue for most.
Cosy, comfortable, very clean and homely and they had thought of everything you might need during your stay
Not the easiest to find, a sign out front with name of the cottage would be great 👍🏻
I loved the way the cottage looked , the decor, all the we nic naks , the furniture was just all so in keeping with what it was, a true Irish cottage. I have stayed in a few Irish Cottages over the past couple of years, and this one clearly stand out as the best and cleanest from them all, it really stands out. A yard where there are gates, the kids could play in safety. One of most well equipped kitchens I have ever seen in a holiday cottage, the bedrooms were all spacious. Also one of the best selection of games etc for the kids. I have never seen our kids as excited to stay in a house as they did in this one. It really is right up there at the top for us. We all loved it. I’m sure there is stuff I missed out. So best way to find out is to go stay a few nights yourself, you won’t be disappointed We absolutely loved it and will 100% be back in the future.
I can’t think of single bad point to make about this property, I really can’t. Unless maybe to hide the guitar as my kids liked it a bit too much and I had no earplugs lol.
Lovely quirky cottage, couldnt be better, so cosy, clean and peaceful. everything you could need, really enjoyed our stay.
Everything was great, the whole family loved it, such a lovely cozy house, very warm throughout, plenty of coal for the stove aswell. There is everything you need in the house, such great attention to details I never seen such a well kitted out house. The views from the bedrooms are lovely and the beds very comfy. Highly recommend, we will be back if we ever travel back to this part of the country for sure!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely countryside house over Halloween! Everything was spotless and beautifully decorated. Zuzana, the host, was so thoughtful — she left chocolates, cookies, and milk for us when we arrived. We stayed with our two kids and our puppy, and we all had a great time. The house was cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed to enjoy the fireplace. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the beds were super comfortable too! We truly felt at home.
The comfort the old style cleanliness everything really

Jedno z nejkrásnějších ubytování, kde jsme kdy spali. Pohádkový, prostorný, romanticky a přitom skvěle a prakticky zařízený domek. Velice příjemná, ochotná a komunikativní majitelka, perfektní informace o všem, co jsme potřebovali. V domku k dispozici spousta informačních materiálů o okolních zajímavostech. Krásné klidné místo, skvělé jako výchozí bod pro výlety za každého počasí. K dispozici zahradní posezení. Byli jsme nadšeni, děkujeme.
De aankleding van het huisje was erg mooi, alles qua faciliteiten was aanwezig zoals wasmachine, toaster, magnetron
Geen Nederlandse zenders op tv. We misten keukenlinnen en een schaar , keukenlinnen om de borden mee af te drogen terwijl er wel ruim aan badhanddoeken lag.
This is a perfect cottage, equipped with more than you could ever need for a home-away-from-home stay. The place is spotless with absolutely no evidence of dogs staying there, next time we must bring our dog with us! Great location and beautiful secure garden. The host had great communication before our arrival and was lovely to deal with. We used it as a base to visit places like Glenveagh National Park, Oakfield Park, Wild Ireland, Tropical House and more - all within a 45min drive from the house.
We have stayed a few times with our 2 dogs and they love it too, it's clean, quiet, and has everything you could possibly need and zusana is very easy to deal with
Nothing wrong or nothing we didn't like
Lovely location. My wife 2 boys aged 11 and 7. And enclosed garden for our week dog. We stayed 3 nights and only downside is we didnt book for longer. Football nets in garden, basket ball net. Netflix. WiFi. Everything we wanted and facilities perfect. Hot water at push of a button. Can't thank host enough superb wee cosy cottage for family trip.
Everything was absolutely amazing again just like last year! Zuzana is an excellent host, the cottage is spotless and very cosy - it’s our favourite place to go we absolutely love this little spot and can’t wait to get back again! Thank you for everything Zuzana - absolute perfection!
Location for perfect for day trips around Donegal. Also close to family and friends
Everything was absolutely perfect. Both we and the children fell in love with this charming, cozy house. Beautiful views from the windows and garden. The area is also full of cool attractions.
We were there definitely too short.
- very comfortable and cosy - very well equipped, like being at home, and everything was in great working order - the football goal, basketball hoop, balls, and games to keep children entertained and active - super clean - attentive and hospitable host - clear instructions on how to get in, how to use water heater for hot water and heating - we slept well - secure private parking
- we thought the living room was cluttered (one of my children called it creepy because he didn’t like the smell, there was something that said ‘Live everyday like it’s your last day’, and there were teddy bears everywhere. 😅) - we wished there would have been a coat hanger for our coats and backpacks - we found it rather awkward to move in the shower on account of the small space created by the shower curtain
Everything was thoughtfully kept. Even had color pencils and toys for the kids
All good. Could use a paddle bin though.
Best accomodation where we ever been..Every detail in cottage is perfect.Really relaxing time and kids loves rooms upstairs..Bathroom absolutely georgeos .Zuzana very nice and kind...We can't be back.
Cosy cottage in the country with a nice fireplace.
Concealed entrance which made leaving the property difficult by car.
Very clean and cozy little cottage, with a large garden area, and close to all amenities.

Carnowen Cottage was perfect for our family to stay. The property has 3 double bedrooms, living room and kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would require. Even dog bowls! The top bedroom has lots of games, which we got great use of. The living room has a tv and access to online streaming services, and the internet was fast and reliable. Unfortunately the Irish weather didn’t play ball, but there is a lovely garden around the property, which is included and safe for our dog and children. We were able to travel to Rathmullan and Buncrana within a short drive. Would highly recommend.
Warm and comfortable, quiet location with parking, well appointed kitchen. Our party of 4 spent a lovely peaceful few days. Large Asda not too far away for supplies. Tv with Netflix for evening entertainment.
Only one bathroom but we were aware of this so not a problem for us.
Everything was good
Ideal cottage for visiting family in nearby town. Good sized bedrooms . Comfortable beds . Well equipped kitchen. Ample of road parking . Lovely back garden .
We loved the cottage. It had everything you needed and was really cosy. 10 out off 10. It was so clean and the beds were so comfortable. We will be back again. We loved it. Thanks so much for our stay.
Lovely, comfortable cottage In the hills of Donegal. Loved by my family and hope to visit again
Surprisingly much more beautiful than the photos, the cottage obviously has had a lot of love and care put into making it a great stay for the guests. It is a special place and we were delighted with it. Zuzana the owner obviously has a lot of pride in her gorgeous cottage and we so appreciated the special Christmas decor and the welcome package.
Not a big issue but I will mention it as I would appreciate this heads-up from other reviewers - Although the road running past the cottage is not a busy one, the cottage is close to the road, so I had to use my eye mask so that I wasn’t bothered by car headlights shining into the room at night as the curtains are not that heavy. I’m a light sleeper so I’m sure this wouldn’t bother most people and the eye mask did the trick so take one with you in case.
Location was perfect for what we needed! It was so quaint and beautiful- a perfect place to spend quality time with family
Though the bathroom was gorgeous- we had difficulty with hot water
Lovely wee cottage. Full of charm. Also all the essentials for a comfortable stay.

The place was lovely
The cottage was fabulous. Just what we wanted. Really quirky and quaint. A lovely place to stay. The little things make such a difference. The milk tea and coffee and treats on arrival. The kids games etc. Enhanced our stay. We were very lucky to have good weather and to sit in the garden and watch the sun setting. What an experience. The kids will talk about this experience for a long time. Staying in a cottage in the countryside.

Zuzanas cottage was perfect. The cottage was spotlessly clean, everything we needed was provided , kitchen had everything we needed and Zuzana had also left us milk and eggs. Bathroom also had toiletries. The garden was large and lovely to sit outside in the evening.
We spent 7 days in this lovely cottage and it was just perfect !

Everything was petfect
Beautiful cottage Warm and cosy Had everything we needed Comfy beds Loved the decor and all the wall hangings. As a party of 2 couples, we found the cottage very comfortable and well equipped with lovely outside space. We all enjoyed our stay at Carnowen cottage.
Going downstairs in the night to the bathroom but wasn't a big problem
Fantastic place, very nice house.
The cottage was so cosy and charming. I thought it was adorable. Properly out in the countryside without being too far away from amenities.
Not really anything!
Clean
Everything was amazing
Cottage was lovely and Zuzanna had left Milk and other nik naks for snacking on arrival along with various toiletries for use on arrival.
Nothing
The cottage is beautiful and the location was lovely
Not a complaint, just a personal note, the bath/ shower was not accessible for my parents who are both in their 80's. With the bath being in the middle of the room there was nothing they could use to support themselves in or out & the way the shower curtain is hung made it easy to become a bit tangled.
Zuzanna cottage was the best we have ever stayed in. So clean and tidy and "Home away from home ". There was lovely treats upon arrival. The little picture quotes around were lovely to read. The garden was so well kept. View from the cottage were lovely. Beyond my expectations.
Carnowen Cottage is hands down the best holiday home we have ever stayed in. Ideally located to explore the many beauty spots in Donegal. The cottage is full of character and charm. It is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The garden is amazing and there are wonderful views. Zuzana is a wonderful host and had milk in the fridge and some treats upon our arrival.
Clean as cosy
Having to wait on the water to heat up
We loved the cosy cottage with its stove and wonderful garden. It is beautifully kept and comfortable and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay.
The only thing missing and that would have been great for the 4 of us was a dishwasher.
The property was amazing everything you could think off was provided. Very comfortable and great location to stay. I would highly recommend and would return for another break. Dog also had an amazing time running about the massive garden.
Perfect home from home cottage with amazing views of the surrounding valley.
Beautiful Quaint Cottage set in fabulous countryside. Great Kitchen to make a meal and dine together as a family. Lots of information on local area for those who want it. Clean and overall very good.
Bed was too soft for me personally. When leaving the drive be extra careful as some cars wizz past and it is on a bend so I found listening for traffic the easiest way to get out safely!
We had a lovely stay in this cottage, we liked that it was detached, the nice view, comfy beds, lots of leaflets and tourist information provided by the owner. I particularly liked the cute decoration and the cuteness of the cottage. It heated up quickly with the heating on when needed. Large area for parking the car and outside area for sitting. It was very good for Mum having a downstairs bedroom right next to the bathroom for night time toilet trips.
The dinning kitchen area was a little cramped but fine for 4 of us. Unfortunately the bath/shower was in the middle of the room and not up against a wall so it wasn't suitable for my elderly Mum to use, as there was no handrail or easy way to get in and out. Some substantial coat hooks for hanging up wet coats would have been useful. The Jack and Jill style bathroom was fine for us as we are close family members but that ought to have been noted in the information prior to booking.
Lovely cottage and has a spacious garden for bbq and children to play in. Everything was lovely and easy to use and close to town great stay and will be back for sure Thanks
