Great stay with fantastic walks
The cottage has been updated really well to make it comfortable. There were three of us so had plenty of space. The views from upstairs are gorgeous, and there are great walks to be had in the area.

Great property centrally located for a trip to see all that County Donegal has to offer.
Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location for sightseeing all around County Donegal! We saw it all Sleive League Cliffs, Donegal Town, Glenveagh Castle, Fanad Lighthouse, Derry, Malin Head, and everything else in between. Anne was a gracious and attentive host. We had all we needed including a warm cottage and plenty of warm showers at the end of a few cool and wet early summer days. Can’t wait to come back

Beautiful Cottage
We stayed two nights in this cottage and even though the weather wasn't great we really enjoyed our stay in this cottage. The underfloor heating makes this cottage so cosy. It has been lovingly restored and has all you need for a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend, eateries near by and a lively pub within walking distance.

Stunning property!
There are no words to truly express how beautiful this cottage is but it’s the wonderful, calm atmosphere that draws you in. Everything in its renovation is so well thought out. So much character and charm. Very cosy! Would highly recommend staying here.

Lovely cottage!
We liked our stay very much. It was not as clean as it should have been (floor, cutlery, kitchenware), but that was more a small nuisance than a real fault. The cottage is cosy and situated excellently for visits in the Glenveagh National Park and hikes in Donegal. Thank you!
