Superb
Ideal place to calm down, lovely cottage, nicely equipped and clean. The host family lives next door and is very nice and helpful. Easy communication. I really liked the view from the cottage, it is a good place to explore the region. If I am back in this region, I would like to come back to this cottage.
Perfect quiet base to explore the local area
We really enjoyed our peaceful stay at this beautifully located cosy cottage. It’s very comfortable and spotlessly clean and equipped with everything that you would need. We look forward to our next visit.
Lovely stay in ideal location
Great location, friendly family, quiet area, Perfect for hiking and cycling adventures! Very clean and easy to access.
Enjoyed our stay
Great location, very clean and comfortable. Hosts are just next door but they do not bother you unless you need something.just a tiny suggestion, I would happily pay a bit more for a little welcome basket… maybe a couple of tea bags etc, and the use of netflix. Really loved our stay. Highly recommended
Fanastic location, quiet and well-equipped cottage
Great location close to Muckish, Errigal and Glenveagh National Park. Just a short drive to Fanad Head Lighthouse. Lovely, spacious and well-equipped cottage. Great storage in the bedroom and plenty of space in the bathroom. Owners are next door if you need any help. One of the highlights for us was their beautiful dog, Simba – well-behaved and very loving.
Excellent value, great property in a great
Great location. In a farming area with great outlook and so quiet! Located slightly out of town, which added to the appeal. Presented very well, kept in top condition with all you need easily on hand. Location was easy to get around from and gave easy access to some beautiful countryside.
Loved it and will use it again
Spotlessly clean and very cosy. Comfortable bed and lovely views. Owners really respected our privacy even though they were only next door. Lovely friendly dog.
Hidden Gem
The Cosy Cottage was an ideal base to tour the Wild Atlantic way on my Motorcycle. I was warmly greeted by the host and was very impressed with the property and location. The property itself was modern and well equipped and they have thought of everything, so was like home away from home. Had secure parking in a gated area and secure storage in coded garage. The location was stunning with excellent views. I highly recommend this property and will definitely be booking again for next tour.
A Friendly Host
We like the location and the views of the surrounding mountains. Connall was a friendly host. If we are in the area we would come stay again
This is our second time staying
Love this property and location will definitely stay here again. Great place to stay. Lovely views and so quiet. This is our second time staying at this property. Great location for visiting Glenveagh National Park and neighbouring villages.
Gem in the shadows of Muckish Mountain
Superb location close to mountains and superb beaches. Short drive to restaurant and pub. House is completely spotless, so comfy, great wood burner. Hosts on site, really friendly and responsive. Just wish my stay was longer
Everything you could possibly need
The cottage was fully kitted out with everything you could possibly need for a lovely trip to Donegal. The wind was blowing outside but I was toasty inside! The location of the cottage is also great – I was able to explore beaches around Dunfanaghey and Downings and climb Muckish.
All you need for a quiet holiday
Immaculately kept little cottage, super cosy and warm on what was otherwise a cold and wet Autumn. Effortless check-in. Well equipped, all amenities and facilities worked well. Excellent value.
Loved it – beautiful place so picturesque
Loved it – beautiful place so picturesque, hosts were brilliant, property was amazing and so good for value.
