Cottage vacation 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.

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!

Absolutely stunning place. It is done really nicely, so spacious and comfortable. So many great spots to sit and enjoy the views. Really wish I had stayed longer than the one night. Michael was really flexible as I wasn't sure on arrival time as I was cycling. Would love to come back

A very pleasant stay. Beautiful location. Hostess Kathleen was most helpful and had left a lovely surprise for our arrival. Ideal for touring Donegal.

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

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!!

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 😀

A beautiful peaceful cottage with a proper homely feel. Great location and good garden where it was safe for my dog to explore. Really helpful directions to the property and lots of great recommendations from Sinead. Would definitely return!

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!

We had an arming stay at this cottage. Hosts were brilliant, very helpful and friendly. Fantastic cottage and felt like we stepped back in time! Thank you, we’ll definitely be back!

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.

Our second time at Amanda’s house. We had such a great time there. The house is so clean and comfortable. It’s a perfect base for exploring the area and so close to the beach. We 100% recommend this house :)

A beautiful home, enjoyed by all the family.

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

The location is excellent, within walking distance to 2 pubs, the Caislean Oir Hotel (good food), Dannie Minnie's (outstanding food), a couple of takeaways (Pizza at Top Pizza is excellent) and a handy grocery store. It is an excellent base to explore Donegal, within plenty of beaches, tourist spots and scenic drives nearby. The cottage itself is well equipped, with a modern new kitchen, washing machine, air fryer, large fridge freezer, dishwasher, pots and pans, glasses etc. The homemade scones, milk, butter and jam was a very welcome treat! Central heating was responsive and hot. TV with Netflix app was great for chilling out in the evenings. The living room sofa is very comfortable. 3 double bedrooms with clean, fresh linens and a generous amount of towels and plenty of wardrobe space. The hairdryer was also a convenient bonus. Off street, private parking. The cottage was set back from the road which meant it was safe and quiet. We would most certainly return :)

Third time we have visited. Always look forward to coming back. Excellent communication with our host re check in and check out. We were slightly later than planned but Brid waited to welcome us and then checked that all was ok later. Overall lovely to stay

What a truly magical place, a place where the faeries live… that’s how beautiful it is 💛 The cottage was a dream, with stunning grounds, a babbling stream 😍… everything about it was amazing! We were warmly welcomed and given a lovely tour by Michael, the owner and a true gentleman, which set the scene for a fabulous weekend. We had such a special time … thank you so much, Michael and Yvonne. We’ve already booked to come back in two weeks! 🤩

lovely stay at driftwood cottage. rusty mackeral restaurant nearby for good food. Great location to the cliffs.
