This is the sweetest little fairy tale cottage in all the land. Clean and cosy, everything you need and a wood stove that made evenings a dream. Very private. All you can hear is the wind and the cows. Right on the bay and village within walking distance, Horn Head within minutes and is spectacular. Sinead is immediately responsive and so welcoming. Dunfanaghy village is relatively deserted during the week, eating out options very limited and grocery store has the essentials but is more like a convenience store. We didn’t mind at all, and picked up what we wanted when we were out exploring.

A beautiful cottage that exceeded all my expectations for our week in Donegal. Stunning location with a short walk into Dunfanaghy. Lovely welcome pack was appreciated as we had a long trip over and certainly helped.Comfortable bedrooms, lovely and clean all round and we wanted for nothing, the communication from the host was excellent with lots of tips on things to do and places to eat.We shall certainly be stopping again when in Dunfanaghy. Thank you.

2nd visit to the cottage , and enjoyed it just as much as previously , felt totally refreshed after

Being only a five minute walk into village and to all amenities it couldn’t be better placed , beach walks are easily accessible , Ards Forest Park and Glenveagh less than 30 mins away . The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable , the log burner is lovely at the end of the day . I’ll be looking to book again next year

Sauber, gemütlich, super Lage

Wir würden jederzeit wieder hier wohnen wollen. Es hat alles gepasst: Die Räumlichkeiten, der Garten, die Umgebung. Wir hatten herrliche Ruhe - und konnten trotzdem zu Fuß schnell mitten im Ort sein. Alles optimal.

A complete joy

Of all the holiday homes I have rented, this is my favorite. It is beautiful, it is comfortable and cosy, and it is maintained with both love and precision. You have everything you need right at hand (and, unlike so many holiday rentals, everything works). The little stove in the living room took the chill off - and with addition of a cup of tea or a glass of wine, it made the end of every one of our days in Dunfanaghy perfect. Dunfanaghy, by the way, is a lovely village. There are several good restaurants and several cosy places for a scone and a cup of tea. The Centra is just a small market, but it had everything we needed. The cottage is close enough to the village that you can easily walk and it is a very quick drive. There are also a number of things to do that are not far away. Best of all, the view from the front door on a sunny morning will start your day with unadulturated joy.
