The Red Bridge Cottage

SarahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a truly wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The location is absolutely perfect—peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. It was the ideal spot to relax and unwind, with nature right at our doorstep. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It felt like a real home away from home. Our host Mairead was fantastic— She made sure we had everything we needed and had the turf fire lit on our arrival. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of Donegal!

Rosie's Cottage * Wild Atlantic Way *

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Derryhassen Beg Cottage

GavinRating, 5 stars7 months ago
What a beautiful home in idyllic setting of Downings peninsula. Felt right at home from the second I arrived with beautiful open fire ideal for winter evenings, very relaxed setting and beautiful surroundings but still close enough to all the local amenities like golf at Rosapenna, local restaurants in Downings & Carrigart, The Boardwalk and amazing beach at Tra Mor & Murder Hole Cove. Tara was an excellent host, was responsive to all pre visit enquiries and was. flexible around my travel arrangement’s. Look forward to many more visits in the future.
