Cottage vacation rentals in Downings

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.

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 house and host couldn’t be any better ! Our second stay at the property and we will be back again for sure !

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!

What a wonderful, comfortable, warm and clean house with a beautiful view. It was so tranquil and peaceful looking out at the amazing view. House is very tastefully decorated with everything there that is needed. The hot tub is a brilliant addition, loved it. Laura is a wonderful host and we would highly recommend this place.

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!

Lovely little cottage in rural Ireland. Not too remote though with small towns of Carrickart being six minutes, and Milford being 11 minutes away. If you want a bigger town, Letterkenny is only 30 minutes away. The cottage itself was quaint and a nice little getaway to relax in with a beautiful view of Broad Water and the surrounding wilderness. If you're a rally fan, the cottage is perfectly located for Saturday and Sunday stages. One stage start was only eight minutes away. Hosts were very quick to respond to my many questions and were incredibly helpful. Will stay again when I come back for Rally Donegal in the future.

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

Just lovely wee place.. the fully fenced garden was brilliant for my dog, the garden is huge, the cottage was very cosy, very warm, bed comfortable, shower great. Noreen was a great communicative host and even supplied a ball for my dog!! Would not hesitate to recommend area, property and host... we had bad weather one day, a perfect excuse to just curl up and and indulge In the fabulous home, heat and a book!! Everything was as described, perfectly clean and everything you could want for a short or long stay!!

WE HAVE STAYED AT ROSE MARIE'S COTTAGE A NUMBER OF TIMES OVER THE PAST VIEW YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A GREAT STAY.

The house was very nice, very comfortable. We had fantastic sunny weather. The view from the front windows was amazing!!

This was our 3rd time at Paivi's place and we can't wait to return. It truly is a magical place. There wasn't a cloud in the sky the whole time we were there and it honestly felt like paradise. Paivi is an excellent host. Couldn't rate this place high enough. We didn't want to leave 😀

Everything at the cottage was as described. It's charming, comfortable (the beds are wonderfully good), secluded and very quiet, in elevated scenic surroundings. Clare was a responsive and helpful host. In nearby Ardara (5 min. drive, 20 min. walk) you should eat the fantastic local oysters and drink some of the Sliabh Liag whiskies and gin made at Ardara distillery. All served at Nancy's Bar. We had a delightful week's stay!

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!

Beautiful well kept cottage that exceeded expectations. The house had everything and more and was a brilliant house for our pet as well. Will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time in the cottage. The location is perfect and rhe surrounding area has got everything you need. We hope to come back one day.

Really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Siobhan was extremely helpful and even made us hazlenut porridge bread for our stay. Property is great, clean and comfortable with a private garden to relax in. Location is brilliant for beaches, walks and towns near by. All in all cant wait to go back.

Such a wonderful experience to stay in such a beautifully loved thatched cottage. We will definitely be staying again next time we’re in Donegal! Robert’s very friendly, very quick and clear communication and helpful. The cottage is so beautiful as is the surroundings. We had everything we needed and more inside.

9 of us stayed in Brigid’s house for 4 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Even with a big group the house felt spacious and very modern. The location of the house is perfect with stunning views of the coast and it is also walking distance to the pier/beach and also to the harbour bar and downings village. The house was very modern and clean upon arrival and any queries we had Brigid was quick to help. I would highly recommend staying here and we hope to return next year.

Beautiful part of the world and lots to do if you are into the outdoors. House in a quiet area away from main spots with a lovely view of Muckish and her sister mountains. Falcarragh is however very close by if provisions needed. We enjoyed

Eight of us shared 4 twin rooms and 2 bathrooms…I thought maybe it might be a bit uncomfortable and crowded…as did others in our party…but no…it was very spacious for us and there was never an issue regarding the bathrooms…We were on a hiking trip…we are all eager to return and make use of this accommodation again…sooner rather than later…we were very, very happy with Mary & Thomas’s Air B&B…would highly recommend a stay there! 😃

Great house with a fantastic view , great location for a golf trip which is why we were there. 5 minute drive to St Patrick’s and 10 mins to the other rossapenna courses, would highly recommend

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.
