Dunfanaghy Dunfanaghy Stables Hotels

"Everything was perfect and magical and exactly as we'd hoped. We were welcomed by mince pies and chocolate and a cottage all lit up with fairy lights for Christmas, and felt just as warmly welcome throughout our week there. Anne and Willie are so kind and generous, even to the point of Willie driving my son up to a trailhead on Christmas morning because it was hard to find. The cottage is quaint and charming and has the delicious ambience of the traditional 200 year old stone cottage that it is - and yet is also warm and cosy, with heated floors and a fireplace that is really easy to use. The massive freestanding tub upstairs was lovely, tucked under a window with glorious views. Everything we needed was there, from kitchen items to books to toiletries. The beds are comfy, there are two bathrooms (the ensuite one has a huge shower) and the location can't be beat - in the countryside that is so quiet you can hear yourself breathe, with zero light pollution, so the stars at night are spectacular. Views of fields and sheep out every window, with mountains in the distance. A 7-minute drive to the Glenveagh National Park, which blew us away. 20 minutes to the big town of Letterkenny. And we explored everywhere - even with only short winter days we managed to visit many different spots on different coastlines. I can't imagine how our stay could have been better. It was all we'd hoped for, and more. This cottage is a little piece of Donegal heaven. Thank you so much, Anne and Willie"

"Breakfast was 8:30 and I was leaving early to catch ferry!! Room very cold but radiator had been switched off, once turned on the room heated up nicely. Fish and chips were delicious."

"Staff were excellent and entertainment was excellent"

"Teach iontach atá ann. Bhí sé glan agus fairsing. Tá sé suite in áit galánta i dTír Chonaill. Tá an trá congárach don teach agus tig leat amharc amach ag Oileán Thoraí. Molaim an teach seo go cinnte."

"Wonderful host and a unique house in the hills of Donegal! "

"This house was a great base for our family trip to Donegal. The large travel cot & high chair came in very handy. It was cosy and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc. and there was plenty of room for us all to eat and sit together. The location was excellent, just a short walk to Killahoey beach or into Dunfanaghy. We all agreed it was a winner. Only complaint was it seemed like a few small repairs are needed - one of the windows and one of the showers."

"The Owl Cottage was just as magical and cozy as listed in VRBO. Communication with Anne was great. I would highly recommend it to my friends and family."

"A great find, we stayed here for two nights. It looks quite quirky with lots of character, and interesting features in the site. We stayed in the B&B and the included continental breakfast was great. Our bed was very comfortable. There's a lounge for B&B guests which we made use of for a while each evening. We were made to feel very welcome."

"The cottage is adorable. Very secluded. The road in/out takes some getting used to. Very narrow "
