I was doing a trail race in Dunlewey so this house was the perfect base. And 2 pubs at the end of the back garden path. Literally a 30 second walk. Couldn't have been a better location. Tessie's only takes cash though. Leo's Tavern does food. Spacious and lots provided as well as a lovely handwritten welcome note and some goodies and fresh milk etc which was appreciated. I don't think there was anything we needed. Didn't meet the host but they were available to contact if needed. Clear instructions left for what needed them.

Was a brilliant stay! Couldn't have asked for better. Tracey and Patrick had the cottage warm, and had given essentials like bread, tea, coffee, milk, shampoo, butter, jams etc there waiting. Beautiful part of Donegal, travelled somewhere different every day. Shops nearby. Set in a small farm ( sheep were waiting for their lambs to be born) and a beautiful view to the ocean. Wouldn't hesitate to return. Tracey couldn't do enough for our comfort. We loved it and would give it an 11 if we could!

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic countryside setting, perfect to relax and recharge the batteries. The cottage is equipped with everything you need to cater for a family. Two very nicely decorated bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom downstairs. A nice sized kitchen with a comfortable sitting room/T.V area. Lovely garden area for kids to play in if the weather is good. We found it to be a good base to explore the surrounding area, Donegal town around a ten minute drive away. The host was very nice and attentive, we would return again and have recommended to family and friends.

    A charming and comfortable cottage in a peaceful location. Great base for exploring the surrounding area in beautiful Donegal. Spacious with comfortable beds, a cosy fire, and the added treat of the hot tub. The most welcoming of hosts who manage to strike the perfect balance of being attentive if needed but also allow you space to enjoy your holiday. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

    Everything! The cottage was beautiful. The hosts were great. Provided us with local recommendations and left us (and our dog) a small treat on arrival. The location is gorgeous. Some lovely drives and walks around. The hot tub is amazing! There's a log fire which makes the cottage nice and cosy and everything you need to cook. A proper home away from home.

    Location, ammenities, views, hosts, everything was top notch at the Lighthouse Cottage. One of the best properties I have stayed in and I travel quite a lot. One special touch would be that exquisitely cosy atmosphere a fireplace can bring to a room and our gracious host really took care of that brilliantly. Thanks again, Caitriona! Really, what ever picture you might post, it just won't do any justice to this beautiful piece of property.

    The cottage is lovely and beautifully furnished, but it is located away from restaurants, etc. We bought groceries in a small gas station/convenience store about 25 minutes from us. The cottage is surrounded by pretty scenery and fields of sheep. We could see sheep up close and personal from our kitchen window. The shed on the property contained everything needed to light a fire in the fireplace. Very quiet, peaceful, and cozy!
