Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gerard B. 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness The location is beautiful and the views are stunning but the house itself was really dirty we spent the first 3 days cleaning and washing everything we needed to use including bed linen and bath towels even the washing machine needed cleaning before we could use it witch added a lot of stress to what was meant to be a relaxing holiday ##### Gerard B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark S. 30 Aug 2025 Before booking there are a couple of things folks need to be aware of. The driveway up to the place is terrible. Its a 0.5 mile sand track and is full off deep holes 3 mph max. Its not the cleanest place with spiders webs and mould (they charge 70 for cleaning) dont know why.On the plus side. Youre right on the beach and the cottage gives you a great sense of old world living. ##### Mark S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Re-set for the soul We wanted to relax and this cottage was perfect. The beach is 30 seconds walk, the view is breathtaking. We relaxed, played games, read, talked around the open fire, swam, walked and just chilled. No tv, no screens (although there is Wi-Fi), we detached from the phones and iPads and let our brains breathe. Will be booking again for next year or maybe even during winter. Tony and John were so helpful yet respectful of our privacy. Can not fault the cottage or the area. Loved every minute. ![The view from the cottage](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98ea61d3-b977-45cd-9528-a6342ee36b40-1750523473884.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![On the beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c87be519-2ca5-441f-9e0d-08b47cc1b26e-1750523473573.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![On the beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/55ce2cec-79ca-481d-a114-8adfc26b9516-1750523473338.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Caroline Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Allingham Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Allingham-Arms-Hotel.h37893738.Hotel-Information) > > [The Central Hotel Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Central-Hotel-Donegal.h15716211.Hotel-Information) > > [Jackson's Hotel & Leisure Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballybofey-Hotels-Jacksons-Hotel-Leisure-Club.h2078049.Hotel-Information) > > [Downings Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Downings-Hotels-Downings-Bay-Hotel.h17837572.Hotel-Information) > > [Maddens Bridge Bar & Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Maddens-Bridge-Bar-Guesthouse.h5457176.Hotel-Information) > > [Mulroy Woods Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milford-Hotels-Mulroy-Woods-Hotel.h1768087.Hotel-Information) > > [Spectaular Home Overlooking Culdaff Beach on the Wild Atlantic Way](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Culdaff-Hotels-Spectaular-Home-Overlooking-Culdaff-Beach-On-The-Wild-Atlantic-Way.h33603683.Hotel-Information) > > [Inishowen Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buncrana-Hotels-Inishowen-Gateway-Hotel.h10074052.Hotel-Information) > > [Shandon Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portnablagh-Hotels-Shandon-Hotel-Spa.h22609921.Hotel-Information) > > [The Abbey Hotel Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Abbey-Hotel-Donegal.h1884.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Rose Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballybofey-Hotels-Villa-Rose-Hotel-Spa.h3584959.Hotel-Information) > > [Dillons Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Dillons-Hotel.h20131012.Hotel-Information) > > [Mill Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-Mill-Park-Hotel.h571660.Hotel-Information) > > [Ballyliffin TownHouse Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-Ballyliffin-TownHouse-Boutique-Hotel.h8755753.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harbour Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buncrana-Hotels-The-Harbour-Inn.h18021861.Hotel-Information) > > [Gateway Lodge Donegal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-Gateway-Lodge-Donegal.h11933518.Hotel-Information) > > [Redcastle Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moville-Hotels-Redcastle-Hotel.h1538640.Hotel-Information) > > [Joyce's Inishowen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carndonagh-Hotels-Joyces-Inishowen.h54184785.Hotel-Information) > > [Mount Errigal Hotel Conference & Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Mount-Errigal-Hotel-Conference-Leisure-Centre.h1561953.Hotel-Information) > > [Fitzgerald's Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Fitzgeralds-Hotel.h3124372.Hotel-Information) > > [Rockhill House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Rockhill-House.h37957408.Hotel-Information) > > [Clanree Hotel & Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Clanree-Hotel-Leisure-Centre.h570355.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-The-Ballyliffin-Lodge-And-Spa.h5285401.Hotel-Information) > > [Kee's Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stranorlar-Hotels-Kees-Hotel-Wellness-Centre.h4902351.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandhouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rossnowlagh-Hotels-Sandhouse-Hotel.h83426.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Northern Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundoran-Hotels-Great-Northern-Hotel.h1788827.Hotel-Information) > > [Arnolds Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunfanaghy-Hotels-Arnolds-Hotel.h527334.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Letterkenny](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letterkenny-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h972005.Hotel-Information)
