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.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in diesem gemütlichen Haus am See in Donegal. Die Kommunikation war hervorragend – immer schnell, sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Haus ist sehr großzügig geschnitten, bestens ausgestattet und lädt zum Wohlfühlen ein. Der Whirlpool war ein echtes Highlight, besonders mit der traumhaften Aussicht, von der man gar nicht genug bekommen kann. Absolut empfehlenswert – wir kommen gerne wieder!

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

Michael and Joan were fabulous hosts. They were very hospitable and friendly. They went above and beyond to welcome us. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Amazing views of neighboring farms and the ocean. The surroundings were so picturesque beautiful. It was an unforgettable stay and we hope to come back and stay longer next time!

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.

Our stay at the Caraig Cottage was everything we’d hoped for. It was cozy, warm, and relaxing and Sinead was a stellar host that went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable. The cottage itself was a stunning space of rustic beauty and serenity, which we would’ve been content with on its own, but the surrounding landscape took our experience to another level. We were immersed in the wild beauty of the mountains, lake, and blooming gardens by day and engulfed in an expansive canopy of twinkling stars by night. The experience was a true delight that left us feeling fully restored just when we needed it most. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again.

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!

Fijn verblijf in het huisje, met uitzicht op de baai, en op half uurtje lopen van een prachtig strand. Aankomst met brandend haardvuur en fles wijn. Marie is een geweldige host.

Beautiful location and perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle. Mary was very friendly and welcoming and provided useful information. Would recommend.

We loved our stay in Amanda's cottage, the place was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for a long weekend with two small kids. The location was great, down a very quiet, safe lane-way, with lots of beautiful beaches a short drive away, and great cafes and restaurants nearby in Annagry. It was a pleasant 15-min walk to a cosy pub too. Amanda was a great host, she was very responsive and quick to help when we had a minor issue in the house.

Great responsive kind host will try to accommodate your requests if she can. Beautiful home, well kept and cared for. Anne is there as much or as little as you want. Accommodation was perfect for our family group as everyone had their own en suite and private space, yet we could all be together under one roof. Well kitted out with all we needed to prepare a family meal or eat takeout. Great location, lots to do in the locality. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again next time we’re down that way.

If you're looking for a great base for south-western Donegal, look no further than Dan & Rosie's place. Ardara is brilliantly located to explore the Sliabh Liag cliffs, Glencolumbkille, Glengesh Pass and a whole host of beautiful beaches. (And any other tips Dan & Rosie will send your way.) The place itself is small but perfectly formed and it's got everything you need to cook meals at home (most probably you'll hit the town for food, though, as there's loads of nice places around). Thanks to a spell of beautiful weather, we particularly appreciated the lovely outdoor space and even had breakfast al fresco!

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.

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

We loved our stay!! It was so historic and beautiful. We were mesmerized by how old the actual house was, and how beautiful the view was. It was really close to the trail at Slieve League. Excellent stay!! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you!

Michael is an excellent and warm host who took the time to welcome us personally (wasn’t just a key box entry), show us around the property and tell us which sights to visit and recommended restaurants. His home is very clean and comfortable. I would stay there again if I ever visited Donegal again!
