Reviewed Aug 23, 2026What I liked most about the property was the excellent location. It is very close to the city and conveniently located near supermarkets and other amenities. The property itself was exceptionally clean, which made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. It was cozy, welcoming, and very well maintained. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the appliances we needed, making it feel like a home away from home. We also really enjoyed the beautiful scenery surrounding the property. Overall, it was a very clean, comfortable, and pleasant place to stay in a great location.
Very small bathrooms

The only minus was one of the bathrooms was quite small. OK for us but some may struggle with the shower.

Reviewed May 3, 2026A bit farther from the town than we hoped, but on a gorgeous property. The renovation of what likely was an old manor was done with respect for guests and for history. Very comfortable and welcoming. A treat that bread, jam, milk was left for a light breakfast.
Wish we had met the hosts, who apparently live in the adjacent/upstairs part of the property. Some footstep noises upstairs, which were not a big issue but would have been nice to say hi.

Reviewed May 17, 2025Nice spotless cottage stay with my son and daughter in law - both bedrooms have their own bathroom, it was great to have the kitchen, and even greater to have a washer and dryer. Just a few minutes drive from the Donegal Craft Centre and Donegal town.
There were no instructions for how to use the stove (we ended up watching YouTube videos to figure it out) and the only fying pan was a nightmare to try to cook breakfast on. There were plenty of sauce pans but only the one cheap frying pan to which everything stuck and got burned. A couple decent frying pans would make the kitchen fully functional.

Reviewed Nov 1, 2024I cannot say enough good things about this place. This is easily the coziest, cutest, most beautifully finished place that we have stayed - ever. I stayed with my daughter and we both absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave. We had hot chocolate on the couch with the fluffy blanket together. When we left we completed a tour of Ireland staying in various lovely hotels, but we kept saying that we missed our cottage! There was fresh milk and bread in the fridge. Everything was so thoughtful and well presented. My daughter took photos of your cute little hand written notes dotted around the place. Thank you so much for such a lovely stay. You made our holiday! x

Only complaint is that we could've used more pillows, but that seemed to be a common issue in Ireland: only 2 per bed. The property is off a kind of busy road, however, we didn't hear any noise inside.
