The WEE HOUS Cresslough

Location.

Quite place nobody around

Drive away was very bad and grass and hedges were very overgrown. Beds were not made

We had a lovely stay at the wee house. Great contact with the owner/contact person, cozy house with the fire place, gorgeous views with sheep around. We had a great time thanks so much.

Bathroom was a bit too small but doable if you stay up to a few nights.

Good location for visiting Glenveagh National Park. We only needed one of the two bedrooms and decided to use the one upstairs near the bathroom even though there was a much better bed in the downstairs room. Left our big suitcase downstairs rather than lugging it up the steps.

Had to be careful not to trip on the one little step between kitchen and living room. Got confused when owner messaged us on arrival day to pick up firewood if we wanted to use the stove. He meant what I would have called a fireplace--there was a regular electric stove in the kitchen! And there was a basket of firewood there already.

Locatie is uitstekend, vlakbij Glenveagh National Park. Heerlijk rustig met alleen schapen als buren.

Het huisje was niet goed schoongemaakt. John heeft het opgelost door een refund.

The location is stunning! Very peaceful with only the birds singing and sheep in the adjacent fields. We were cycle touring in Donegal and spent 3 nights at the Wee House. One day we visited Ards peninsula and enjoyed the coastal walk from the Friary. Thanks John, for suggesting this. The second day we cycled and then climbed Muckish - fantastic views.

I would have liked guidance regarding recycling.

Lovely cheerful cottage in a beautiful quiet and peaceful area of Donegal yet close to outstanding areas for walking, beaches and great restaurants. A great find. We will be back.

Nada en especial

Beautiful location, and the wee house is a delight, full of character and charm. The location is fantastic as a base point to visit and view what is Ireland's most beautiful county. The house itself is a revelation, small but never cramped , functional and cosy. Also John is a fantastic host who we had excellent contact with. Myself and my wife highly recommended this property.

Nothing at all

The location and the size of the house. The inside of the house was perfect for a family of 3.

The mattress upstairs was awful and a very cold room once the heat went off. There were dog hairs in the bed upstairs.

It was amazing

We initially stayed in the upstairs room and the mattress was a bit thin on the springs but down stairs was cracking bed.

Lovely little house with everything you need

Nothing

It’s so peaceful. This is the second time we have stayed and we are already planning our third

Nothing it’s great

The wee hous is lovely. It was exactly what I was looking for. It was small, clean, comfortable and remote. The peace and quiet was amazing. The stove fire was fab. Everything is in driving distance and in the summer it would be a gorgeous walk. Had the dogs at the beaches and went out for dinner. John was very easy to get hold of should I have needed him. I was very pleased with this accommodation.

The cottage could do with more robust seating like a sofa but this is not a complaint, just an observation.

Beautiful landscape. Comfortable wee house worth a price. Close to nature.

No issues.

Lovely location beautiful views from every window and so peaceful

Nothing

Lovely rural and quiet location Great fireplace and good use of small space

Some pots and pans need updating and out of date stuff left by previous users in kitchen cupboards should be cleared after each visit. Shower curtain very long and awkward in the small shower

A lovely 2 bedroomed cottage, with fabulous facilities, including the indoor fireplace, which was in use most of the time. Cooking facilities were spot on, and the view of Muckish Mountain superb, when the clouds allowed.

I stayed in the wee hous for 2 nights with my 2 dogs. It was perfect, exactly as described and it was so cosy. I slept in the downstairs bedroom and the bed was extremely comfortable. John (the host) sent me details in advance and had great communication throughout. It's the perfect peaceful getaway nestled in the beautiful hills of Donegal. Will definitely visit again!

The one positive aspect of the property was its scenic location in the peaceful countryside.

1. The house was old and run-down, with a strong dog odour lingering on all the furniture. 2. The most serious issue was a wasp nest in the attic. Upon arrival, we found dozens of wasps inside—some dead, others alive—and they continued to appear daily. Fortunately, we found a can of bug spray in a cupboard, which gave as an illusion of safety. 3. The living room lights flickered so badly that we couldn’t use them. 4. The shower was very small, mouldy, and did not drain properly. After just a couple of minutes, water would pool around our ankles. 5. No toiletries were provided. 6. All the heaters were old and rusty. 7. Despite being listed on Booking.com, there was no washing machine. 8. The fridge was too small to be practical for self-catering. 9. The internet and TV connection were extremely slow and unreliable. 10. Only half a roll of toilet paper was provided for a three-night stay. We had to contact the owner to request more, which he provided.

It was great. Nice and quiet but surrounded by wildlife

Nothing I loved it

It was vlean and very reasonably priced.

Remote. Couch very uncomfortable. Told about check out time and then told again that the cleaner would be there at 10am and unnecessary to tell me she would have other places to do later. Not interested, l already knew the checkout time.

It was easy to find, clean & tidy. The bed was super comfy. The perfect place to relax by the fire after a day exploring. We loved that it was pet friendly so we could bring our dog, there was wifi & a smart tv and lovely cafes & pubs only 5 mins drive away. Mount errigal is only a 10 minute drive away. John made sure we had everything we needed, the check in process was seamless. Will definitely be back in the future!

N/a

The countryside location was very peaceful, we saw two hares in the field when we first arrived & also enjoyed watching the lambs playing. The beds were comfy & the cottage had all the facilities you could need. Short drive to Ards Forest Park, Donegal Boardwalk & many other beaches & coastal attractions

Location is remote surrounded by mountains for peace & quiet. So much hiking and biking and beaches nearby. Also close to Creeslough which has nice cafe and restaurant. It had everything needed for self catering and was warm.

Nothing, it has a shower curtain which I’m not a fan of them but that’s just a personal preference.

Love the location. Really is perfect. A world all to yourself. Note this is good for people who like the remoteness whilst also being close to the beach, the national park and forest areas. Wild Atlantic Way routes and several near villages to go eat and explore. So very good for people who like being outside and can entertain themselves. It felt like going back in time to my grandmother's house. All the amenities but old school. Great aesthetic and love the lack of technology.

Perhaps for the future an outdoor cover or place to sit under to fully admire the surroundings. I appreciate maybe no need in Summer but for a winter stay you could admire the view from the comfort of a canopy whilst drinking tea! Front door leaked during heavy rain but owner made aware and was respondent to the issue.

Very authentic , very rural and peaceful

It's a lovely little house located in a peaceful countryside scenery short drive from Creeslough town, which has well equipped shop, takeaway, pub and restaurant. It's near many attractions, so you can chose between going to the beach, sightseeing or hiking. It wasn't our first time and we will be back again :)

We really like that it is a bit remote, though some people may like to be closer to town / pub.

The most fantastic setting to visit Donegal, it was a bit magical with the views and the animals all around, the wee hous had everything needed for a country stay, we loved the set up and staying in an old house.

Leaving

Absolutely fantastic location

The property was immaculate, very tastefully renovated and decorated, and the beds very comfortable. It was very compact as the description suggests but for a solo traveller or two people, it’s ideal.

It’s in a rural location so very little phone signal and no WiFi.

Very quiet and far from everything

No wifi and weak phone service signal

Rural quiet and sense of Irish mystery I loved. You could watch the Border Collie work the sheep right from the house. It's exceptionally private being aways off the road. Traditional Irish cottage, renovated lovingly. Many great restaurants ,pubs and attractions to those who like hiking and mind blowing scenery.

There's nothing I didn't like.

We loved how remote the wee cottage was it's a compact little house with all you need inside clean and cosy very relaxing definitely will be back

No internet but it wasn't a big deal

The location was just what we wanted quiet and peaceful, well equipped with all you needed to make your stay comfortable and lovely scenery, and we will return all being well some time in the future.

Location was incredible, 10 minutes from Glenveagh National park. Cottage beautiful and views stunning. So peaceful :)

Surroundings. Welcoming landlord. House.

House was as advertised. Very new appliances. Host was eager to please. The location was idealic. You won't find a nicer place to sit back and relax.

Space is tight, but that's why it's called the Wee House. It's very charming though.

We truly enjoyed our stay. It is a Wee and cosy house, the owners put a lot of effort into making it a pleasant and comfortable place to relax. They made sure we had a good experience and also asked for feedback to make sure everything is perfect. Kitchen is very well equipped with all items a modern kitchen needs. Fireplace makes the evenings special. There's a foldable dining table, so you can enjoy your meals. Location is very handy for the nearby town with a pub, takeaway and well supplied shop (you'd need to travel by car for the location). It's also very close to number of beaches, forest walks, Glenveagh National Park, Errigal and Muckish mountains. In the morning you open the door to view of hills, sound of birds and sheep. It is a small house, perfect for 2-4 people. Would highly recommend for and escape to nature and base for exploring this part of Donegal.

There's nothing we didn't like really. Only small remark is that the shower is on the small side, which didn't bother us much (could be tight for a tall large person).
