Traditional Cottage with Private Hot Tub in the Heart of Donegal

The videos on the different aspects of Ruby Cottage sent in advance made it all very easy to use. The cottage was beautiful, comfortable and made our stay in a wet Donegal absolutely wonderful. The cottage was central to the area that we wanted to visit and so the location was spot on. Myself and my two daughters had the most wonderful stay and we would recommend it in a heart beat.

That there was so much to enjoy at the cottage it was very difficult to leave it and go out and about!

I was contacted by the owner after booking and told I couldn’t have a 2 day booking and I had to cancel. Despite it letting me book. They must have had a better offer. Pretty poor show.

Habe mich gut mit dem Inhaber unterhalten. Alles hat perfekt gepasst, der Hot Tub und die Sauna waren ein Traum. Komme auf jeden Fall wieder!

Loved the hot tub and fire place

1. Quaint little cottage in a beautiful location. 2. The owners were very responsive and as helpful as they could be. 3. The projector was great for watching films and the England Euro matches 4. The beds were comfortable 5. The kitchen facilities were good.

1. We had our booking changed from the 3 bed log cabin to this cottage without any consultation first. We kept the booking because it 'seemed' it would still be suitable enough and still had a hot tub. But I would have appreciated the owners contacting us to explain why the booking had been changed. We still don't know why it was changed and I haven't asked because my feeling is I shouldn't have to ask for an explanation. 2. We were unable to use the hot tub at the cottage for the entire week because of two separate issues with it. Much to our frustration, we had no offer of compensation such as a small refund for this. Having a hot tub was one of the main reasons we went with Davy John's accomodation. 3. We were 6 adults staying in this cottage, 2 couples and 2 single males. This cottage is absolutely not suitable for 6 adults and it should not be advertised as so. One bathroom between 6 adults was really hard to manage in the mornings and evenings when we were all getting ready to go on our diving trip or when we got home after being out all day. It was also not made clear at all that the ground floor double bedroom and bunk bed room were essentially conjoined. So you had to walk through the double bedroom to get to the bunked room. Not pleasant for the couple in that room. Even though there was a privacy blind it made my friends bedtimes not very nice with essentially complete lack of privacy because they had two single males using their room as a thoroughfare to their bedroom. Had this been made clear on the booking I would have cancelled the booking without hesitation. 4. To have the hot water you had to turn on the boiler and keep the thermostat up. This made the heating come on. We could not find a way to switch off the radiators in the livingroom and hallway etc. So we had to sit there and roast whilst we had showers with all the doors and windows wide open. Not efficient or environmentally friendly and expensive for the owners...

RURAL LOCATION QUIET AND PEACEFUL

NOTHING

Clean, well kept, everything we needed. Lovely comfortable bed. Hot tub an added bonus. Dog friendly which is why we were there. Would recommend to anyone. Had a very relaxing time and the weather was perfect, no rain and little wind. Hard to believe for Donegal but such a lovely break away. Thanks.

Couldn’t really fault it but if I had to say something it would be there was no local information leaflets on things to do, places to eat etc. Im having to be really picky to say something.
