The cottage was exactly what we wanted, even the weather cooperated!My Grandfather was born only a few miles away and I enjoyed spending my 80th. birthday close to my Irish roots. Mary was a helpful host, minor issues were quickly dealt with and everything was as described in the listing.

The house was perfect for our stay and even bigger in person. The host was fantastic, her communication was so fast and so polite and went out of her way to provide recommendations for my family which were fantastic. Options to Dunfanaghy and Falcarragh were perfect, and was the perfect backdrop to a peaceful break away.

The property was lovely; so nice to have a fruit bread left for us and tea and coffee for the mornings. Very windy & rainy, which should be expected; still beautiful views!! Some confusion with our contact when we had questions about the hot water - maybe a binder on the premises would be more efficient. Thank you, Mary for the use of your lovely home.

We booked a week at this house during July 2026. In all we had a group of 3 adults, 3 teenagers and our dog. The location is very convenient from the main road between Falcarragh & Dunfanaghy, while private and serene. The house was clean, bright, well equipped, and deceptively spacious. Mary the host had provided plenty of suggestions for good restaurants, and leisure pursuits, We enjoyed the many beaches, breathtaking scenery, & were fortunate with weather. All in all, we really loved our stay, and would hope to visit again in the future.
