Cottage on a Hillside
The cottage felt like home the minute we walked inside! It was truly perfect place to stay! The views we grand. The sheep that come to visit were a plus! The interior was warm and welcoming. We rented to cottage as our base and stayed many days just relaxing. I would love to go there right now! Diann the host was wonderful.

Beautiful area of Donegal
The property was very clean and just as described and suited us and our exploration of the area in Donegal and day trips into Derry, as well. It was remote and quiet...just what we wanted! We were able to cook in the evenings allowing our driver to enjoy a glass of wine. The scenery was stunning. Beds super comfortable.

Use Mamore Gap or Loch Mamore
There was no way to find the property with the address, post code, the host gave us. I Used google maps, and another SatNav and neither got me close to the location. My sister put in Mamore Gap and recognized the cottage as she was driving up the hill to the gap. A neighbor who’s number was given in the directions came to find me. We were in separate cars.

This was my third time at this gorgeous cottage, it’s as well maintained as ever. The owners have done some nice upgrade recently and it has everything a family could want. I will definitely be back here for another vacation soon.

Wobbly start in a little piece of heaven.
Reservation was very smooth. On arrival we had difficulty with the key safe. None of us could open it and we had no coverage on our phones. We drove to Mrs Jackson's who contacted Paddy Mc Daid who sent his daughter to open the key safe. We had been given the incorrect code and incorrect phone number on the website. The rest if the holiday was Brilliant and the house great. Very high standard of equipment in the house.

Little piece of paradise
Pictures don't do justice to this property, you will be taken by surprise how beautiful the cottage is. Its clean, well equipped, well stoked. All you need is your clothes and toiletries. Amazing views all around. Prompt communication from the owners. Plenty of maps and local information. Phone signals are spotty, so prepared to be cut off from the rest of the world. Please have off line maps on your phone if you are driving around. Can't wait to return next year. Thanks Ken and Diane.

The house was a home away from home with everything you need! We had the best time here & Clonmany is a great spot with friendly people! There is lots to do in surrounding areas so we had a great time going on day trips & then relaxing at night by the cosy fire in this lovely property!

Just had the best few days away with my family in a long time. This is a cosy, welcoming home in a stunning place. There's so much to see and do in the surrounding area. We will have to return because we couldn't fit it all in! The house is well equipped and a joy to return to at the end of a long day exploring the area.

Maginifico Irish Vacation
Diane promised that we'd love her hillside cabin and she was surely telling a truthful story. We could tell from first entering the house that it's a loved and well cared for place. We look forward to returning with an even fuller appreciation of the home and the area.

The house was great. We stayed five nights and we would stay here again. Will sleep 7 comfortably. House has many updated features. Comfy beds, two bathrooms, family room and fully stocked kitchen. One of the best kitchens we've seen. Washer and dryer are great. Big for Irish standards and work great. Family room is kind of small if you have more than three people. TV setup is good. Internet is pretty slow. Very close to Northern Ireland and other local (less advertised) treasures.

We hated to leave. Loved the views out the front window. Inishowen is a great place for adventure.
Want to book again because after 8 days there are still many adventures waiting in Donegal. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Large bedroom and living space. Secluded and quiet.

Beautiful holiday home
If you want peace, fresh air and beautiful scenery in lovely Donegal this is the place to stay. A house which offers you comfort in both living and sleeping arrangements which is comparable to none. The kitchen and laundry room has all you need , utensils, detergents and all exceptionally clean. We had a great stay and hope to return at some stage. Highly recommend this beautiful holiday home and delighted with the memories.

The location of this cottage is stunning with panoramic views of the hills and countryside.
5 nights in this lovely well equipped cottage was not enough to see all we had planned. We were not disappointed though as the weather was very kind to us and we visited most of the beaches in the peninsula. Coming back each evening to this comfortable cottage was very pleasurable as we knew how cosy it was and if we ate in we had all the facilities to do so. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope to come back soon and finish what we had planned.

Superschönes Haus in absoluter Ruhe
Wir hatten einen traumhaft schönen Urlaub. Das Haus ist super, absolut ruhig, fast genau an der magic road zum mamore gap gelegen. Wir haben tagsüber den Ausblick und abends die gemütliche Atmosphäre mit Kamin genossen. Durch die Ruhe fernab der Stadt konnten wir uns richtig gut erholen, kein Verkehrslärm, keine Lichter und sehr sehr nette Nachbarn. Wir können das Haus nur empfehlen!

Une superbe semaine
Le gite est parfait. vous trouverez tout ce qu'il faut à l'intérieur. Nous n'avons pas vu Diane, mais nous avons communiqué par mail, et cela s'est très bien passé. Elle est très à l'écoute si vous avez besoin. Le gite est tranquille, et bien situé pour aller vous balader et découvrir la région. Nous avons eu la chance d'y être pour le festival de Clonmany et de découvrir Nathan Carter et la ferveur des Irlandais pour lui. Nous avons fait de belles rencontres
