Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Hughie Anne's Thatched Cottage
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.

The Limehouse Cottage
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

Charming 1-Bed Cottage with Hot Tub, Sauna & Pool
My partner, doggy and myself had an incredible time at Catrionas. We stayed for two nights and sat in both evenings and enjoyed the amenities. Catriona has three lovely dogs and so many cute farm animals - we were lucky enough to see baby bell as a 3 week old lamb. Most importantly Catriona was very accommodating of our dog who can be a bit funny (being very kind), she was a great host. Her place is the most perfect tranquil piece of heaven! Would recommend it to everyone :)

Mollie’s cottage - 3 bedroom cottage with hot tub.
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.

The Lakehouse
We had a great stay at this Airbnb. The space was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The wood-burning hot tub was a highlight—though it took about 2–3 hours of tending the fire to heat up, it was incredibly relaxing once ready. The surrounding ponds added a peaceful, scenic touch, and we really enjoyed walking around the area. Peter was a responsive and helpful host, especially when I accidentally left something behind—he kindly let me return to pick it up. Overall, a lovely and memorable stay.

Secluded Private Cottage Hot-tub, Sauna & Fire-pit
My wife and I had a lovely time at a charming little cottage. The atmosphere was cozy, and we enjoyed the sauna and hot tub immensely. We also liked having a bonfire outside for extra warmth and fun. Although it rained during our stay, we found that the cottage had good sound systems and a TV. This allowed us to listen to music and enjoy a wonderful evening indoors. Overall, we highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing getaway! :)

The Red Bridge Cottage
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

Erne River Lodge

Sunset Cottage Fanad Head
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

Glenkeel Cottage
Perfect hideaway location! The house is stunning and so peaceful. Conor is a lovely host. Would absolutely recommend!

Doultes traditionally cottage
We had a relaxing few days at Paddy’s cottage . It’s in a great location with plenty to do in the area. The cottage is in a quiet location , dog friendly, very clean and has a cozy stove. Paddy was a great host ,always had great recommendations about the area and looked after us well! Will come again

Streedagh Point home with stunning view
We loved our stay! The house is very well equipped with everything we needed to feel comfortable. The view is absolutely beautiful and the location is great. The host was very kind and always responded promptly to our messages. We were very satisfied with the experience and would definitely recommend it!

Rouge Sea Cottage-- One Bedroom
A magical and cosy cottage, beautifully decorated in calming neutral tones. The bed and sofa are wonderfully comfortable, perfect for relaxing, lazy days. It’s a lovely place to truly switch off and unwind, but still close enough to explore the charm of nearby unspoilt towns. The enclosed garden made it feel safe and welcoming for our 2 dogs, which was a big plus. Just at the end of the lane, you’ll find a stony seafront where you can take in the dramatic beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way. And if you’re after a sandy beach, there’s a stunning 5km stretch just a 15-minute drive away. There’s plenty to see and do in the area too, including a visit to Belleek Urban Park in Ballina. A wonderful spot for a peaceful, scenic escape.

Fuchsia Cottage, cozy hideaway close to the beach
fantastic 4 days, great location but with a car, peaceful, dogs loved it plenty of space clean. easy to find with the sat nav. Mary did send directions also which where perfect but the sat nav was 100 percent. just a great few days away with the dogs and a lot of sightseeing

Cosy Cottage for One/Two 2km from Sea at Aughris
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cosy Cottage. With the wood burner lit for our arrival, the cottage certainly lived up to its name. Cosy and very comfortable. We would definitely recommend a visit to the Beach Bar for drinks, food and the atmosphere. The Aughris coastal walk is worth doing. the views are stunning.

Teach Mháire - cosy cottage on wild Atlantic Way.
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!

always a 5* review for Kitty's cottage, we love staying here

Irelands Top 50 places to stay #IndoFab50
This was our second time in Ireland but the first time in Donegal and Inishorin. We absolutely fell in love with the place. Andrea’s cottage was a large part of that. It was charming, pristine, and in a gorgeous, private location. She gave us so many great suggestions for things to do. And the books…amazing selection of things to look at and read placed all around the cottage. The cozy nook in the dining area had an amazing view. We enjoyed sitting there and watching the sun set and the sky change colors. Andrea had some lovely touches, fresh flowers, a welcome packet with some yummy treats and a bottle of something to sip and enjoy. This was definitely one of the best places we have stayed and we highly recommend it.

Ard na Mara
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.

Broadhaven Cottage, Co. Mayo, on Wild Atlantic Way
We spent 5 nights in Rory's cottage and loved it. We felt right at home. The cottage is cozy, spacious and bright. It is surrounded by nature and is located in a very quiet and pleasant setting. Rory and Breda provided everything you need to cook and stay in the comfort of home: nothing was missing! and the view is breathtaking. Upon our arrival, Breda had fresh milk and scones ready for us: not everyone does that and we were very pleased to find them. Their local recommendations were very helpful. It was a very nice experience and we will definitely be back!

Donegal Cottage in lush countryside
We had an amazing time. We enjoyed the house so much that we ate dinner in a couple of nights. Mary was helpful, responsive and kind. The stone circle behind the house was magical. It was the perfect place for a get away with excellent day trips. Mary was a huge asset

Rose John's House
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.

The Crow's Nest 2 - Cosy 2 BR Flat
Great place with a beautiful position. I was staying for a few nights as I prepared for an exhibition in Sligo. This is a good spot around 20 minutes from the town but with a good location for seeing nature and the countryside. Thanks :)

3 Bedroom Cottage - Panoramic view of Inver Bay
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
