Holiday rentals with lake access in County Donegal

Absolutely loved this beautiful cottage. Stunning peatland surroundings, remote, warm, historic cottage and a hot tub! A fab host as well.

We had a lovely stay for 2 nights and the house was excellent. It was exactly as described and even more beautiful than the photographs! We will definitely return the next time we are in the area.

Amazing stay and amazing host. Could not fault any of it. We booked quite last minute and the place was ready and spotless. The host was quick to respond and and even accomodated some of our health related queries. She waa very helpful and gave us all the info we needed to have a private and quiet stay. Location is beautiful. Close to beaches and Dungloe town which has everything you need. The house itself was spotless and had a lot of character and is in such a private and pretty location. Clearly has had a lot of work put into it.

What a cosy, unique stay. The kids loved the freedom of being able to explore the grounds on their own. Beds very comfy, everything clean. Even despite the terrible weather we had a great time.

I stayed here with two adult family members and we were all delighted with the house and its surroundings. There are lovely views and the house is beautifully designed, full of light and character, with carefully chosen objects and pictures on display. Chris and Jude demonstrate that accommodation does not have to be bland and grey! The kitchen and bathrooms were clean and well supplied and we enjoyed relaxing indoors when not out and about in beautiful Donegal. The sheep in the adjoining field were a delight to observe! I have had a lifetime of visiting this area and this is probably the nicest place I have stayed. Our only criticism is that we couldn’t get the TV to work, but then we didn’t come to Donegal to watch TV, so not a big concern.

Wonderful peaceful few days at Winnie’s beautiful cottage. Really cozy with lovely open fire freshly set when we arrived. Very helpful hosts providing info on local area and clear instructions for the house. Would love to return in the future..a stunning traditional Irish cottage

3rd stay at the Hidden Gem and consistently an amazing spot to unwind and relax - last stay was a few years ago in 2018, and the standards are still as exceptionally high. Accommodation is spotless - it has everything you need to feel at home, and the host was very helpful before and during our stay with recommendations of local events. A welcome pack of bananas, crisps, biscuits and milk, all you need to kick in and relax straight away - Accommodation is well equipped -Mary Frances has thought of everything! There's enough between the accommodation (pool table, Pinball, Bar games, TV) and local walks/beaches to keep any age happy. Just an overall great place to switch off and spend some time with the important people in your life. will be back as soon as we can, as it's just perfect.

Jim's house was absolutely fantastic. It was spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the WiFi was strong. The woodburning stove was a God-send for the cold Donegal nights but equally the central heating was quick to warm the house. The location was ideal. A short 10-minute walk to the beach and a leisurely 15-minute stroll to Bonner's pub made it easy to enjoy the local amenities. And the views of Errigal from the front of the house were simply breathtaking! Jim was a fantastic host. He was incredibly helpful and communicative, ensuring we had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Donegal.

Fantastic location and facilities!

The shepherd's hut exceeded our expectations in nearly every way. My mom and I stayed there for one night on a trip through Ireland and as soon as we arrived we were sorry we couldn't stay longer. The setting was perfect. It was a picturesque location and easy to find. The hut itself was nicely furnished and the communal room offered all of the comforts we needed. I'd love to come back some day.

I really loved my stay at Jean's place, it was the perfect location for me. Jean is really friendly and accommodating with all of your needs. The apartment is lovely and stocked with a very generous welcome pack! I felt really comfortable during my stay here and Buncrana itself is a lovely town. The shoreline walk that extends into the heritage walk and swan park is beautiful, such a peaceful place that supports Irish biodiversity and is planted up with Irish native plants for woodland, meadow and orchard. Some lovely artwork displayed here too. A great spot to base yourself for hiking and outdoor activities in general, I look forward to coming back. The food scene in this town good too! WILD IRELAND is a must for a great trip while visiting this area, very inspiring, heartfelt, educational and hopeful regarding living sustainably that supports our native Irish Wildlife. Really looking forward to coming back and exploring more in this beautiful area

Paul and Geraldine were super friendly. We felt right at home at their place. The view of the bay was very good, very relaxing, and a few very nice restaurants not too far away

Spent 1 night in Rhona's apartment and was very pleased with our stay. The view is incredible, and the private pathway to the beach really ties the whole place together nicely.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful and charming cottage in the heart of Donegal, Ireland, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes, the cottage offered stunning views of the rugged coastline and lush green hills, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop. The location was perfect, providing easy access to scenic walks, and two beautiful beaches. Inside, the cottage was beautifully appointed with modern amenities while retaining its cozy, traditional charm. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect. I highly recommend this cottage and its wonderful host to anyone seeking a peaceful and enchanting getaway in Donegal.

Beautiful area with stunning views. Amenities, space and cleanliness were all great, absolutely no hesitation in recommending both Donna the host or this cottage to anyone wanting to stay in the area. We will be back again

Our second time at Amanda’s house. We had such a great time there. The house is so clean and comfortable. It’s a perfect base for exploring the area and so close to the beach. We 100% recommend this house :)

Lovely place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay! Moya & Gavin were lovely hosts—warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout. The house is absolutely stunning with an incredible view. Inside, it’s cozy and beautifully done, with everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped, making it feel just like home. We’re definitely planning to come back soon!

Suzanne and David were so kind and helpful, we didnt need anymore help from them as everything was highly detailed. We were greeted by a nice cosy fire, which was just what we needed after the journey and there was plenty of logs left for us to keep it going throughout our stay. The house was spotless and everything we needed was provided! We had 2 dogs with us and the yard was really secure, with beautiful, peaceful scenery. The locstion was close to lots of beautiful things like the board walk and ards forest park! The only downfall from our trip was that we werent there for long enough - but next time! Thank you Suzanne & David!

If you’ve got this far reading the review and you’re wondering whether to book, do it! The cottage offered everything needed for a relaxing, peaceful holiday. The location is ideal: plenty of lovely walks, places to visit, and great restaurants, cafés, and pubs within 25 min radius. Equally, it’s wonderful just staying at the cottage, strolling down to the beach, and soaking in the peaceful surroundings. Everything was perfect, and we can’t wait to return!

Another wonderful stay at Ann's . thank you so much, it is an amazing retreat in a beautiful location
