Martin 
“We had a lovely stay at Strand Cottage, walking distance to shops, fantastic beaches.”
Errigal mountain and Glenveagh National Park a short drive from the cottage. Loads to do nearby, the week flew by. Great location to base yourself.

Elaine “We stayed at strand cottage for a week in August and we had an amazing time.”
The cottage was lovely and clean and cozy and a short walk to lovely hilled fields that lead to the most beautiful beach. We were very lucky with the weather and had sunshine every day so it was like paradise! I would highly recommend a visit here as it is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I've ever been.
- Elaine, August 2021Chris “Great location for beaches but house was well below par.”
Having owned a holiday home ourselves in Ireland for 13 years we were quite disappointed with the standards here. The fridge was rusty, it leaked, and the door didn’t close causing our food to get wet due to ice build up and to go off. The bathroom window was broken and held together with clingfilm and the bathroom bin hadn’t been emptied. The bed was quite uncomfortable and could easily be remedied with a memory foam topper or similar. The laminate floors were lifting where they had got damp. The cooker was dirty and there was no extractor. The back door was difficult to open as the lock needs attention. Having spent over £750 for one week it felt cheeky to expect the electricity to be paid by a coin meter.
- Chris, August 2021Geraldine “Cottage was clean and comfortable, however we were disappointed by lack of garden .”
Although this was not listed the picture had caused us to believe that there was a garden ,would have liked secure garden especially as we had a dog with us .
- Geraldine, May 2019Jim “Cracking wee cottage close to the beach, shops, pubs and all other facilities.”
- Jim, October 2018Norma “The cottage was set in a quiet spot but close enough to enjoy a short stroll to either the beach or the pub :) Local facilities are limited and was disappointed that the bar only served food from Thursday to Sunday - what we got though was very good :) :) certainly will consider a revisit in the future - we had of glorious weather which isn't always guaranteed in Donegal.”
Fab week.
