    Perfect place for a group of 4. There are two comfortable bedrooms in the house, a very handy kitchen where you can prepare your meals. The place is clean and has basically everything you might need during your stay. Our host was so lovely and very helpful. The location is also fantastic, the house is close to a beautiful beach (5 mins drive or 40 mins walk) or mountains on the other side. It's also close to shops or pubs.

    This is such a beautiful part of the world, it’s a shame there wasn’t much of a view. But the wee house made up for it with its coziness.

    Lovely to be met by Noreen, the host and to find she had laid a fire for me. Noreen is super friendly and ready to help you with anything.

    Nothing, perfect for our needs

    A lovely cottage in a quiet and convenient location for the purposes of our trip. Noreen was very welcoming and had the fire set and some welcoming scones and beer / wine left in the fridge for us on arrival. We came back to the property after a mountain running event in Glenveagh national park and she was happy to let us use her hose to wash all the mud off us!

    Nothing. It was exactly what we needed.

    Noreen was an amazing host, everything we needed was there. We arrived in late and there was milk, bread, and butter for the morning which was amazing as I had my young son with me so it saved me an early trip out to get him food for breakfast. It’s a lovely cosy house which was perfect for us in a perfect location.

    There was plenty of space for the kids to play outside. Noreen was very accommodating and friendly. The two large double bedrooms were more than enough for us and the cottage had everything we needed for a lovely stay. The location is perfect as it’s a short walk to the shops and Mhici’s with beautiful beaches close by. If you have young kids, I would definitely recommend this area!

    Fantastic location, easy to find and great base for exploring gweedore. Noreen the host lives on site and was very friendly and helpful. Accommodation was spacious enough for our family. Was great having our own kitchen and this had all the utensils etc needed. Fantastic that it was dog friendly also.

    Noreen is the best host ever! Not only was the fire set, cold beer in the fridge but also directions and menus from all restaurants, contact number for a taxi driver or a captain of a boat. Everything you might need was there. Thank you so much.

    The weather! (Actually, it wasn't that bad - there was little rain but there was a bitingly cold northern wind.)

    Nice, quiet location and very convenient to the nearby beach. There are two bedrooms - a double and a single. Noreen the host had all the necessities provided - toiletries, washing-up liquid, towels, sheets, etc - and she said if I lacked anything to call on her (she lives next door). I was using the cottage as a base while hill-walking in Donegal and so was gone for most of every day. A total absence of noise ensured a good night's sleep every night.

    The kitchen should be a little more furnished. For a family of 4, as we are, there weren't enough pots and dishes.

    The cottage was clean and warm. Noreen was very kind and ready to help. We had a great time there and enjoyed our staying.

    Run by a lovely lady called Noreen, she had a fire going ready for when we arrived along with a beer each cold and ready in the fridge. Also set us a fire ready to come back to after we'd been out to Glenveagh National Park on our 2nd day. Lovely host and lovely area
