The cottage was very comfortable, and was a home from home.
We had no complaints.
Location of this property is excellent and the beds are so comfortable and very clean
Nothing
Great location. Very cosy.
Clean, homely and a nice outside area
Nothing
Well equipped, spotless, great location
All the lights are bright white- if this was changed to a nice warm white light the whole place would be perfect.
Clean and tidy, very homely.
Amazing location
A lovely, cosy and comfortable cottage that was just perfect for an over night stay with my 3 grandchildren. Very homely environment and easily found...once you know about the lane between the church and the graveyard. Great tip from the owner! The children loved the projector and the little touches such as the hot chocolate and marshmallows. Fabulous accommodation; clean, warm and comfortable.
Nothing to dislike.
This property was an ideal location for us as we were visiting friends in Buncrana.
The heat is set to 16 degrees No cleaning even with 15 days of use Very bad wi-fi
Close distancevto the town
Lovely and warm and comfortable seating. Has fully kitted out kitchen including full size fridge and freezer, air fryer and coffee machine.
The only reason we probably wouldn't go back is no pets allowed - we usually bring our dogs with us everywhere!
Wonderful home with everything to make your stay comfortable. Gorgeous view from the kitchen windows overlooking the town. Nice parking area
Beds were a bit short for me as was the comforter on the bed
Our home away from home. We get sick of hotels so this was great !!
Definitely need a car
Red Gate Cottage is a little gem with a true Donegal vibe. The house is small and very charming, with a warm, homely feel in every room. We loved waking up to the beautiful views and having farm animals right outside — it really added to the experience and made our stay feel far removed from the rush of city life. The setup of the cottage is thoughtful and welcoming, making it easy to settle in and feel at home straight away. A peaceful and memorable spot to enjoy the best of the countryside, yet having all the amenities in close proximity. Great choice if planning on visiting Malin head and surroundings.
Was a bit cold at the beginning but I guess it was just dew to rainy weather and probably house being empty for a couple of days. But heating was working perfectly and there was some wood to set up the fireplace, which added a cosy touch to our evening.
Everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Extra towels, kitchen well equipped, views out the back were amazing.
Comfortable cottage in good location which suited our needs perfectly. Good mattresses. Plenty of towels. Well equipped kitchen. Good electric shower. Nice to have a washing machine available and somewhere to hang washing.
Seems no hot water unless the heating is on and we did not need heating as the weather was warm. Happily the shower was electric and good but no hot water for washing up etc.
A lovely well equipped property for exploring the area including a trip to Maiden Head
The cottage was well presented and clean. Extremely family-friendly and catered well for all needs.
The weather .... but that can't be helped. Plenty to keep us occupied
Very clean and cimfortable
Nothing
Super clean and cosy. Really nice shower. Overall great value for money.
This is just nitpicking, but most of the lamps had white led light bulbs. I prefer a softer yellow light. White lights can be a bit jarring, in my opinion. Other than that, the place was perfect.
Quant with good views and very cosy.
Nothing
so cosy and comfortable, beds were great. Kids loved the projector to wind down after busy days out, and talking to the two sheep in the field!
Nothing really, it’s a little bit outside the town but we wanted somewhere quiet and were happy to drive around with kids and all their beach gear.
Very clean excellent wee cottage handy 2 town
Really lovely wee house, clean and cosy
Great house, cute decor and warm and comfortable. Good kitchen and little touches like tea, coffee, hot chocolate greatly appreciated
Beds were a bit small, but comfortable
It was such a lovely wee cottage. So clean and cosy. You can tell the hosts put so much work and effort in keeping it well for guests. The house was warm, there were wee touches like towels in the room, logs for the fire, and the house was cosy as soon as we walked in. We'll definitely be back!
It was nice and cosy and in an ideal location to all the places we wanted and got to visit.
Red Gate Cottage was perfect for our weekend break. Everything you needed was there and Julie, the host, was easily reachable. All in all a great place to stay.
Nothing
Lovely, on the edge of town. So was very quiet. Short distance to shops. Very cosy homely feel. Thank you
Nice and spacious outside space suitable for my toddler
A lovely and cosy home from home. Lovely location as a base for exploring Inishowen and not too long a walk into town. We were family of 5 and plenty of room. Thank you to our lovely attentive hosts.
All great!
The Red Gate Cottage was perfect for a night away with a friend, the hosts were very helpful with details of check in/check out. Any questions or queries we had they were happy to help! The bedrooms and interiors inside the cottage were up to standard and very comfortable. The view from the cottage is also amazing that looks over Buncrana.
Super cute cottage with lots of tea, coffee, porridge oats etc all left out for use. Loved the little bench outside for sitting on in the evening.
Nothing, it was great!

Fantastic cottage in a fabulous location. Everything you could possibly need. Rooms decorated tastefully and amazing views. The host even found my son some wellies and took him to feed the lambs.

The house was very clean, fresh, and welcoming. Had everything we needed. Will certainly recommend it, and we would love to stay there again.
Everything was perfect
I loved this cottage! So peaceful and quiet and clean. Lots of available blankets to cuddle in to watch tv before bed. Our kids had a blast! And the little fire to welcome us was amazing!! Thanks guys!
Nothing.
Super location, close to family we were visiting
Location lovely.
No twin bed or sofa bed as on property description. Had 2 full beds and a good size single but with 4 people staying in the property was hoping we could all have a bed to sleep in. Had to use small sofa in front room for the 4th person.. not ideal.
So lovely, fire lighted for us, homely feel. Would highly recommend, plenty of space and lots of facilities.
Beautiful place, clean, causy. Loved Christmas 🎄 tree and furnace
the very good internet @ the cottage the very good hot shower which was available
nothing all good
The location was good - next to the picturesque church / churchyard and in a neat valley.
We would have preferred an additional toilet in the property. There was only one toilet and it was in the bathroom.
Beautiful cottage with a beautiful view. Lovely and peaceful, livestock right in-front of you. Just what we wanted for a lovely quiet few days away with the family. The most Comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Highly recommend.
Spotless. Great views out across the old Church and valley. Three really good sized bedrooms. Kitchen and living space really cosy with a great wood burning stove. Also very peaceful in amongst farmland and cattle. Short walk to Buncrana town centre and Swan Park.
Leaving
The cottage is very well located. Close to Buncrana town and beach. We were welcomed by the host when we arrived and the house was spotless, cosy and homely. We would love to return sometime and would highly recommend this property.
Nothing!

This is the second time I have stayed in this property this year. Great location. Cottage was spotless. Can’t fault the property or host in any way.
Great setting and wee had everything we needed with privacy added
There was nothing we didn't like
Lovely warm place, you'll feel like in your own home. We were visiting with 2 children, we all enjoyed a stay, definitely will be back again , totally recommending for short or long stay. In the house you'll find everything you might need, and location is just perfect 🥰
Everything was good
A great find! The milk, cereals and eggs were an extra thoughtful touch, as we're the towels. Thank you.
We loved the wood burner fire very warm and friendly would definitely recommend this property
