Blaneys Coastal Cottage

Lovely and peaceful to relax

We did feel a bit isolated but that’s what we wanted

The place was beautiful and clean smelt lovely when we arrived.so cosy and the back decking was really nice to sit and listen to the ocean 😊.the views just breathtaking.the beds were very comfortable barely noticed the cars passing as was too busy enjoying the short walk to the beach or relaxing would definitely return thankyou

Having to go home 😔.saying goodbye to the neighbour cows

Una casita encantadora en un sitio precioso,muy cerca de la playa.Camas muy cómodas y todo muy limpio

The property was in a great location and right next to the beach, absolutely perfect for my dog as he loves the water.

The remote location seemed to result in a long wait for a warm shower, although all other facilities were great.

The coast side location and sea view

Nothing

Quiet place. The property as good for us. Stay just one night

All good

locatie was uitstekend. het terras/patio is pas aangelegd en het is prima ontbijten in het zonnetje met uitzicht op het water. locatie is zeer hondvriendelijk.

als ik al iets moet noemen is het misschien de waterdruk in de douche die iets minder is.

Bellissimo cottage e ben attrezzato

Clean house with everything we needed

Merveilleuse situation. Accueillies avec un feu de cheminée, pain et confitures dans un ancien cottage bien aménagé, qui a une âme. Cuisine toute moderne avec lave-vaisselle et lave-linge. terrasse en bois où prendre les repas au dehors. vue sur l'océan. A proximité de belles plages et falaises. Lieu très reposant.

Comme presque tous les cottages de location, aucun nom ni numéro de rue, aucun panneau indiquant le nom du cottage. Dommage, on a beaucoup circulé avant de le trouver. Il y a une petite manipulation à faire pour avoir de l'eau chaude à la salle de bain... on ne l'a trouvée qu'à la fin!

View! Just loved !

All was good.

Everything was just right.

Remember to bring your own milk if you use it

Great base for exploring South West Donegal. Beach is nearby.

Roadway was too accessible for young children.

De lokatie, mooi uitzicht.

Het huisje was erg klein, niet geschikt voor 4 volwassen personen, weinig confort, slechte bedden, te weinig keukengerei, geen eettafel voor 4 personen. Slechte bedden.

This cottage was in a great spot, quite isolated down a narrow lane. Very peaceful and a short drive, walk to the water.

It was quite sparsely furnished, bare looking. The very minimum provided of tea, coffee.

Breathtaking view

Nothing

The property owner had the fire going in the fireplace so when we arrived, the house was warm and welcoming. The water view from the small room was lovely. It was a peaceful and cozy place to stay. A short distance drive to Donegal town, and the Killybegs. A bit longer drive to Slieve league and the Malin Beg. It was nice to have the washer/ dryer available in the house too.

As Americans, we weren't familiar with the two hour heating system but we appreciated that the owner left us a guide on how to operate it.

Lovely cottage, welcoming fire was a nice touch.

Location is excellent. What views😀

Duvet was a little too small and pillows were pretty hard- change these and the score would have been excellent

Cottage was warm

We had our original booked stay cancelled and had to book this cottage on the way at a much higher price. It was a self-catering cottage, but it was not worth the cost, even for a one-night stay. The utensils were in very poor condition and unusable. If you plan to cook, you should bring your own utensils. The facilities were poor, and they did not provide kitchen tissues. There was no exhaust fan in the kitchen. The whole house was too small for the price, and it was difficult for kids to move around comfortably.

Lovely cosy cottage in a rural location. Fire was lit on arrival (nice touch). The cottage has everything you would need for cooking including dishwasher/washing machine/ tumble dryer. Wifi works great. Some previous older reviews suggested otherwise. Beds comfy and clean. Would definitely return.

Loved the cottage and area, only gripe is the road directly in front, cars flying past at high speed despite it being a 1 car lane. Not the hosts fault, but with a young child with no road sense, it was a worry. If it was fenced off or gated It would have made a real difference.

Beautiful cottage with amazing views

There was nothing we did not like.

This property is beautifully presented. The location was great - quiet and removed, a short walk to nearby beaches. Kitchen was well appointed and made cooking as easy as home. Hosts were fantastic, very helpful and friendly. Thanks for having us! We'd hope to visit again, for longer next time

Hosts were wonderful and very responsive. Had a warm fire for us upon arrival. Thank you!

Everything was perfect. They had thought of all the things.

Great location beautiful views house was clean and cosy with a real fire and plenty of amenities in the house, we had everything we needed.

Nothing

Very lovely cottage, perfect for a weekend getaway or a longer stay. It’s located just 100 meters from the beach and is ideal for 4 people. The kitchen is well-equipped with pots, pans, cutlery, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. The owners even had the fireplace lit for us, so the house was lovely and warm when we arrived. We liked the idea of leaving some DVDs near the television in case anyone wants to watch a movie or a series

We only stayed there to sleep, and we had dinner and breakfast there. We have just one suggestion: if there are more than two people, perhaps a slightly larger table would be better. But it’s also fine as it is

The holiday home was well presented

Double glazed window need changing

Lovely cosy cottage. The fire was on when we arrived. Very clean and helpful

Maison agréable et très bien située avec une très belle vue. Le feu dans la cheminée à notre arrivée a été très apprécié.

On n'est pas resté assez longtemps pour apprécier la maison

Cosy with the fire. Great to have washing machine

A bit remote

Mimo (a może właśnie dzięki) bardzo ustronnego miejsca, można było czuć się bezpiecznie i komfortowo. Na miejscu było wszystko co potrzebne do miłego spędzania czasu. Dziękujemy!

Very cute and secluded and close to the beach.

Over priced for what you got and proximity to shops/town/restaurant. Bedroom very close to road

Mooi uitzicht, dicht bij het strand. Ruime parkeerplek naast het huis. Wifi werkt goed. Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien.

Lovely location to sit out and watch the sunset with a glass of wine, just a short walk to the beach about 5 mins, we got great weather so that was a bonus

The view was beautiful. Lovely cottage. Everything you'd need in it. We had a lovely stay,thank you.

- Amazing location - Very well equipped house - Easy parking - Easy collection of keys - Super cozy We will definitely return and reserve more days that time.

A lovely secluded cottage a few miles from donegal town very within walking distance of the local beach. The cottage was very cosy and the hosts provided fire materials for the open fire. The house was very well stocked with equipment, the WiFi worked well and there were some handy extras like tea and coffee available for guests which was really appreciated as we had run out. The self check in/out was very convenient for us and we could easily have stayed a few nights.

You need 🚗 to get round but nice 👌 great beach

Location was great and property was well appointed.

Not having any hot water was a not acceptable for the price per night. The hot water system needs repair or replacement unless you enjoy cold showers.

Lovely cottage with nice patio. Perfect for enjoying morning coffee while listening to birds singing. 5 min walk from Lovely Beach, where we experienced an amazing sunset. Cottage is in great distance to all we planned to see.

A bit too soft mattresses, but this is one person opinion . We liked everything thank you.

We had a fantastic time at the property. Everything exceeded our expectations—it was just as amazing as the reviews had described. The house was spotless, and the view of the sea made the experience even more special. We were lucky with the weather, but even when we needed heating or hot water, everything worked perfectly. Just a tip: if you need to use the heating, it's a good idea to turn it on a bit in advance and keep the house closed to retain the warmth. The internet connection met all our needs, but it was also refreshing to disconnect a little and enjoy the surroundings. We also loved the collection of DVDs—watching a few familiar movies again added a nice nostalgic touch.

I would not say I didn't like, but the bed mattress is a bit too soft for me, but that's just a personal preference.

Very cute cottage close to the beach.

Quelques cloportes, rien d'anormal mais ma fille n'a pas apprécié.

Lovely scenery and very nice people to deal with. I would recommend this location highly

Extremely cold and damp . It needs aloth of work done , especially the roof .

The location was so beautiful

The network service was poor. The WiFi signal was also very poor.

The place is cosy and comfortable. Great view toward the sea from the second bedroom. Very tranquil . We had everything we needed

Nothing to dislike.

The cottage was so nice all equipped with essentials. Open fire also heated the water which was advantage walking distance to the sea our dog loved it.10 minutes drive to Killbeggs .only negative was no broadband but will definitely stay again as the peace and quiet was what we wanted for our holiday.

No broadband.

Wi fi didn't work- passwords supplied were rejected

Very remote and peaceful setting. A traditional home which was comfortable for our stay. Perfect if you want to get away from everything.

There was an issue with the WiFi dropping out but we were warned about this before our arrival.

The location was beautiful with a view of the sea in a very peaceful area. The beds were comfortable & the decoration was simple but tasteful.

The property should not be described as having internet. Most of the time there was no phone service at all & the wifi though fully connected did not allow any connection. The owner noted on a welcome sheet that this was frustrating & due to the local area, but we would not have booked the property if we had known that there was no internet availability at all. We were visiting Donegal to celebrate my Mum's 87th birthday & it was impossible for friends & family to reach her via phone or WhatsApp to wish her a happy birthday!!!! Going down the road in the pouring rain to get phone reception was NOT a solution. I see now that numerous reviews comments on this so the property description should simply be corrected. There were also no dishes to use in the oven, no bowls for cereal, no working potato peeler, no instructions to make the TV work & while there was a selection of DVDs there seemed to be no DVD player. The shower was difficult to use as it was operated by a twisting switch that was old & hard to use & very difficult to regulate. There was also no where to put stuff in the shower...

Good location, ample parking, clean, and the heating/hot water was easy to use.

The WiFi didn’t work, as the provided password is incorrect. There was not a lighter or box of matches provided for the open fire.

Location was great, and having the washer and dryer was so helpful for us.

The wifi did not work for us. The listing is very accurate when saying it’s not strong.

The location was good for us, especially with our dog. The house was exceptionally clean. The beds were comfortable.

The Wifi. It was too weak, and our children, who were 15 and 20 years old, were not very happy about that. If we have known about it before hand, we probably would not have chosen this place, even though the other things were great.

nice terrace nice living room with good tv

terrible internet connection tiny kitchen with sparse utensils low water pressure the beach is very dirty

A cosy cottage.

Nothing

Everything, great getaway

The WiFi doesn’t work and no reception if they are something you need

Lovely stay only 8hrs but we wish it had have been more. Thank you for a lovely property

Cosy cottage, loved the outdoor area and the view, very relaxing PlayStation was a great perk for the kids, considering the lack of WiFi at the cottage

WiFi was Virtually on existent which is OK, but others might need or rely on it.

The location was beautiful and very close to the beach. It was a great location also for exploring the peninsula🙂

The WiFi signal wasn't great but I enjoyed that, it was a nice break from the norm.

Absolutely loved here wish could have stayed longer .

This little slice of heaven was the perfect cottage for a break on our Irish road trip. Adorable Hobbit house. The fire was crackling when we got there and it was a cold day! We would stay again!

NOTHING! We loved it all!

Superbly appointed little cottage which was just 2 minutes stroll to a beautiful quiet beach.

Lack of any real WIFI connection.

Very quiet secluded place But clues enough to Donegal just a 10 minute drive Very easy 5 minute walk to the sea fantastic

If you really need great permanent WI-FI bring your own booster but if you just want peace and quiet this is the place Also needs the house name on the cottage to make it easier to find for first time arrivals

Beautiful location. Lovely wee cottage. My English friends were staying with us and we all just loved it xx

Nothing x

We had a great time at the coastal cottage. The cottage's interior was adorable. It gave us a hobbit home feeling (which was great). Our dog loved spending time here and the home felt very cozy. The views from the cottage are picturesque. The fireplace added to the rustic feeling of the cottage.

The WiFi (when it actually worked) was subpar. If you're ever in an emergency and have no cell phone coverage, you'll be screwed.

Loved the location!!!

We had a lot of bags and no lift.

Stunning location, easy to find, peaceful, good nights sleep

Not so much a dislike just an improvement, needs more a better quality towels. Need chopping board in kitchen and dustpan and brush that can use when standing.

Lovely little cottage, with beautiful outdoor bay view. Comfy beds, fireplace and tasteful interior design.

The views were amazing and the house was clean and comfortable! Lovely calm beach, just a couple minute walk down the road was beautiful. The washer and dryer was the best thing, so we could wash our clothes halfway through the trip! It was better than I expected and easy to find with the Eircode that was given by the owner.

The water pressure in the shower wasn't great, but it is to be expected in a small little town. The wifi was also intermittent, but it was actually kind of nice to be able to disconnect.

The location was beautiful and cottage was spotless. Access to a washer and dryer was great.

There was no hair dryer, no bath or hand soap and only instant coffee (a simple coffee press would have been great). These few things would have made the difference for us to make it a ‘great!!’ stay.

Beach was only a stone throw away and had it all to ourselves 👍🏼

The weather

The location is stunning and very convenient to explore donegal. There is a large deck to enjoy the view. It is a short walk to the beach. It's very quiet and peaceful. The owners were on hand to help with any issues we had and immediately responsive.

The cottage was cold and took a while to warm up over our stay. The owners did provide extra heaters which helped some. It would be good if they were they were there from the start. The WiFi is patchy.

The cottage is located in a beautiful spot, it has everything you might need. It’s easy accessible by car, close to many tourist sites. Pets are allowed so we were happy to come with our pup.

We tried to make some fire in the fireplace, but the wood was very wet, we had to buy some dry wood in the town. We were off season and the house was very cold. Even we switched on the heating in evening, we had to sleep in warm clothes, use an electric heater and get up during the night to switch on the heating. The WiFi connection and mobile network is very poor so be prepared to be off for some time.

The cottage was good to find, very faraway from civilization wnd a direct view to the sea. It was very comfortable and cozy, lovingly furnished and equipped. The kitchen offered an oven, stove, fridge and freezer, microwave and toaster, even a washing machine and dryer. There are 2 sleeping rooms - one with a double bed, one with two single beds. We also used the fireplace to bring a bit more warmth to the place. For our stay it was really rainy - but with sunny weather you also have the option to use the terrace outside behind the the cottage with view to the sea

very poor WIFI, also there seemed to be a problem with the TV - we had no sound and the batteries of the remote seemed to be dead. The heating system worked quiet slowly and with a timer which meant you have to turn on the heating system again after 4 hours - it took a long time to heat up the cold cottage as there are only stone walls. the blanket of the double room was also a bit small and tight for 2 tall persons

Great location and the scenery was beautiful! The host had a fire lighting in our arrival which was lovely well appreciated!

The cottage did get very cold despite the heating being on and the fire. The WiFi didn’t work and there was no signal but it was also nice to be switched off in such a beautiful place

I liked the apartment, it is very nice and cozy, it faces the sea and the landscape is beautiful, you are in the middle of the countryside. The apartment was cleaned and had all we needed.

The apartment was cold and we didn't have heating, we had to heat the house with the fireplace and a small heater that was in the room. The hot water works with a boiler that you have to heat beforehand and that only works for 15 minutes. After that, you have to heat the water again.

Location was fab! Class view of the beach. Place was nice and clean.

It was cold at night

Good getaway on the outskirts on Donegal! Cozy cottage, the fire was on at arrival, dog friendly and close to the beach. All the appliances needed for our stay.

The internet connection was not working due to bad signal in the area (nothing the owner can do about it and not necessarily a negative if you want to disconnect, but something to keep in mind if needed during your stay).

Beautiful, quiet, private and cosy. It truly felt like a wee secret getaway. Susan had the fire lit for us arriving which was such a delightful surprise. The whole cottage was spotless, and the bedding was so fresh and lovely. Would love to come again in the summer months. The kitchen facilities were amazing. The wee beach is only a short walk down the lane, and it was just amazing at sunset. Thank you so much!

It’s not that we didn’t like it, but the lack of signal and WiFi is just something to note before arrival. It can’t be helped, given the rural location of the cottage, which is completely understandable. We just made sure to know our bearings before heading off in the car, and then it wasn’t long until we reached signal again for maps. It would not put us off staying again, we loved it too much!
