Cottage holiday rentals in Donegal

Best Airbnb stay we have had ! Catherine/Kevin were great at communicating all about the check in and they were super flexible. When we arrived they had a care package for us with cookies and wine and a frozen pizza and a bundle of turf The hot tub was as a great addition. 3 minute walk to the local pub with trad music and great food ! This place is a true gem - we are definitely going to come back !

Stunning cottage, very clean and tidy with a bonus of the hot tub which was easy enough to set up . Located in such a peaceful area with an easy and quick to drive into town.

Grace's house was a real treat! Nestled away in the trees overlooking the river made it feel so private and peaceful. The house itself was so cosy, clean and inviting but had plenty of space and different areas to relax. The grounds were amazing and the kids had a ball discovering the swings, hottub and reading shed. The whole place was magical and we were sad to leave. Grace was very responsive to any communication and made us feel so welcome. The house location was a great base for some of the stunning sights Donegal has to offer and we were very close to many beautiful sandy beaches. This house was the best airbnb we have ever stayed in! We can't wait to come back, thanks so much Grace

Absolutely stunning location, beautiful scenery and so private and peaceful. Excellent location for visiting the cliffs and beaches. The local pub offers great food and wonderful atmosphere. Everyone we encountered was extremely friendly. Patrick was a very responsive host and easy to deal with.

Lovely place to stay.

The house is gorgeous and so cosy. Mairead was so friendly and helpful and we had a brilliant time. pics don't do it justice was a fab little retreat. absolutely recommend. Glenties is a lovely wee town too and locals were so friendly. had an amazing trip

We had a fantastic stay over the bank holidayweekend. Laura was a great host—friendly, helpful, and full of brilliant recommendations for places to eat and things to do in the area. The cottage itself is cosy, comfortable, and really well equipped, with everything we needed. The views from the cottage are absolutely stunning, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax in the evenings after a day of exploring. We’ll definitely be back!

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!

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

We choose this cottage due to the downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms as one of our party has a disability and this worked really well for him. One bedroom has an ensuite and the other two bedrooms share the main bathroom (no other ensuite as mentioned in the description). Two of the beds are a bit on the small size for us, but we were able to sleep separately in the two rooms which were available. We were blessed with lovely weather therefore able to watch the sunset over the sea in the evening which was breathtaking. There was a fabulous food hamper waiting for us. Michael, the host made us most welcome and recommended the Narrow Quarter Bar & Bistro in Kerrykeel. Good recommendation as the food was amazing, but you need to book as it is very popular. I have marked down for cleanliness as the freezer was completely frozen over and we could not use it. We would definitely return to this cottage purely for its views, rugged and remote location. I

Kathleen’s place is set in the most beautiful location with views of the mountains. The great big enclosed was perfect for our dog who didn’t want to leave it! Our break wasn’t long enough, so will definitely be back to explore more!

This was a beautiful home. everything you needed was there. House was spotless and clean. The views were beautiful from the house. Shop was just down the road so easy for getting the things we needed for staying at the house. We went to a pub which was a bit of a distance for walking but local taxi services were always on hand and local taxi numbers were available at the house on who to contact as well. All in all a beautiful place to stay and I would highly recommend this house and would go back to stay here if visiting Donegal again.

A beautiful peaceful cottage with a proper homely feel. Great location and good garden where it was safe for my dog to explore. Really helpful directions to the property and lots of great recommendations from Sinead. Would definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The space is excellent - homely and cosy yet with plenty of room. The open fire is great for cooler evenings. The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need. There’s also a sunroom on the side of the house which is lovely and bright if it’s not warm enough to sit outside. The cottage is close to beautiful beaches and there are a few shops nearby if you need groceries or fuel. We would definitely stay again!

Marie was a great host and her place was perfect - close to several amazing beaches and more than enough room for a family of four. Thanks for a great stay!

Mary was very responsive and the place was very warm and comfortable for 2 people and the view was incredible and very private. would definitely recommend to others.

We had a wonderful stay at Amanda's place. Her attention to detail is second to none and she was extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. The house is spotless, very well equipped and beautiful. Amanda also went out of their way to help us when we had some car trouble on day 2. Would definitely recommend.

We stayed at Fionnuala’s Cottage for one week in June 2025; it’s a great base to tour Northwest Donegal. Such a comfortable home from home! Ideal! We had a great holiday👌🏻

Its a lovely small cottage with all it needs like comfy beds, perfectly furnished kitchen and sitting area with a fire place. (it also has netflix but we didnt use- fireplace did a perfect job) - the house was warm - considering the howling wind outside and absolutely cosy. We were warmly welcomed and got a bottle of wine too. We had a wonderful time and would come back anytime again. Important- for finding the location use the code provided in the description rather than the link or address- its leads you directly to the house.

What a truly magical place, a place where the faeries live… that’s how beautiful it is 💛 The cottage was a dream, with stunning grounds, a babbling stream 😍… everything about it was amazing! We were warmly welcomed and given a lovely tour by Michael, the owner and a true gentleman, which set the scene for a fabulous weekend. We had such a special time … thank you so much, Michael and Yvonne. We’ve already booked to come back in two weeks! 🤩

Checking was super smooth; Donegal town is 10is minutes away; The views were amazing from the kitchen, master bedroom and living room, other rooms had really nice views as well but not the ocean. It was very clean and had a really nice vibe to it - I’d recommend this easily to anyone, the backyard is so serene - would 100% go there again

The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was nicely restored, free of clutter and nicely appointed. The cottage was on a very nice rural road, beautifully landscaped and even had sheep across the way. Suzanna also had a welcome book with great recommendations and easy instructions on how everything worked. Would definitely reserve this cottage again given the opportunity.

Epic stay. Well maintained house.

Lovely, atmospheric place to stay in rural Donegal with plenty to do and see nearby. Had all the amenities you need and with a very nice kitchen, bathroom, bed room and living area. Sheila was friendly and accommodating with complementary scones and apple tart.
