Ranny Roe

As a family of 6 adults and two dogs the accommodation was perfect.

Rooms were spacious and immaculate. The fenced in garden was ideal for the dogs and they had ample space for running around. Everything you would require for your stay was provided and there was nothing we could fault. We look forward to returning next year.

Beautiful welll equipped bungalow with stunning views.

Clean, comfortable beds, lots of space and easy to drive to stunning beaches. Didn't want to leave

We had a fantastic stay at rannie roe, everything from the location to the cleanliness and facilities were top notch.

We would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about staying.

Directions to the cottage were not clear enough.

Add in “turn left at the junction in Kerrykeel” and “turn left at Tamney, signposted Harry Blaney Bridge”; otherwise OK. The bungalow was super warm on our arrival, which was lovely after a long day travelling. We ended up turning off most of the radiators for the rest of the week. We could never tire of the view from the kitchen and lounge windows – just breathtaking. Would definitely recommend Ranny Roe.

We loved this home so much that we have rebooked for September again.

Lots of space, peaceful, the dogs loved the enclosed garden and the view is amazing. Also very central for sightseeing. Highly recommended.

We were made very welcome when we arrived.

The accommodation was immaculate.The surrounding area is beautiful, quiet and peaceful, a great place to relax and get away from it all.

Just back from a week at Ranny Roe.

Absolutely fabulous cottage. Very well-equipped, huge-smart TV, wi-fi etc, comfortable, spacious, modern etc. View from the front window over inlet one of the best in Ireland. Nice privacy situated in fish farm, owners very nice and helpful. Surrounding beaches terrific especially Port Salon. View at Fanad Lighthouse even more awesome than Mallin Head. Overall great value at the price.

Beautiful house, beautiful surroundings.

The house was clean and warm when I arrived. The welcome folder was clear and concise with lots of recommendations for sightseeing in the local area, which I will definitely do when I come back for longer.

Thank you to our kind hosts, Denis and Martina, for such a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

The house is brilliant; comfy, cosy, and yet incredibly spacious. The view from all front facing windows is like a constantly changing panoramic painting and the nearby beaches were perfect for our two furry friends to indulge their passion for ball chasing and swimming. Many thanks for a great holiday. We're already booked for next year.

Second time staying here.

Unbelievable property with everything you would ever need. Beats House and views. Would 100% recommend.

The house was great and really nice with lots of care and attention given to thinking of the customers needs.

Plenty of towels and everything you would need to stay away from home. All the kitchen equipment you would need. Lots of detailed instructions given as to how things worked and lots of tourist information about places to go and places to eat in the area. The owners had thought of everything and we were allowed to bring our dog with us and the house and garden were fully enclosed and traffic was minimal. The house was clean and tidy and had great views from the main bedroom, living room and sun room over the bay so it was lovely to sit and watch the many varied birds flying over the bay and swoop around the house and nearby fields. The pictures and description on the website were excellent and very accurate and instructions for arriving and leaving very detailed. A great house for a getaway for couples or families but you definitely need a car to get anywhere as you are not close to shops etc but plenty of space in the garden to sit out on a good day or for kids to play about. There is WiFi and Sky tv available but I would suggest having an additional method of viewing especially for children although there are plenty of board games and books available. As I say, the owners have thought of everything and provided over and above what one would expect from a holiday home. I would definitely recommend this house.

Lovely house and stunning views.

We absolutely loved it! Martina & Denis were very helpful recommending restaurants and where to go. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back again.

A beautiful view and a well equipped bungalow.

Pet friendly and our Labrador had a safe, enclosed and large outdoor space which was a delight. The nearby beaches and sights are outstanding.

As ever Ranny Roe was a beautiful place to stay.

The continuous improvements, ie concreting the driveway and improvements internally show the owners care about their property. It won't be too long before we come back (again).

A lovely, well -equipped cottage with a fantastic outlook.

The area was peaceful, with beautiful beaches. We had to cut our trip short due to an impending house move, but managed a trip to Fanad Lighthouse, Port Salon and a few of the local beaches. Would love to come again!

Stunning location and views, very well equipped and spotlessly clean, nice bottle of wine left for us on arrival, no negative comments to make, and we look forward to returning soon.

Absolutely loved our stay at Ranny Roe.

The views of Mulroy Bay were so beautiful. The bungalow was cosy and perfectly suited to our needs. Plenty of room to relax and a large garden for the kids.

Really enjoyed our stay in Ranny Roe, instructions were clear, house was lovely- warm, clean, comfortable with everything we needed for our stay.

The view was just fabulous, so relaxing just sitting watching nature do her thing! Highly recommend, particularly for anyone looking for a chill break, or I was thinking while I was there that it would be a perfect retreat for a writer!

For some reason we cannot give 5 stars.

.., I don t know why as this is an absolutely fabulous place. It definitely deserves 5 stars.. Owners are very helpful and kind. (We got caught up in the storm Eowyn, felt very safe in the cottage and owners were really good to us) The cottage is perfectly well equipped, beds are very comfy, the view is just stunning. If you want to enjoy Donegal, this is the place! I would highly recommend this house, you will not be disappointed. Just one little thing don t forget your hairdryer as there is not one in the house. We had a wonderful time and wish to thank yet again the owners of this beautiful place.

This was our second visit to Ranny Roe.

It is just the most beautiful peaceful place to stay. My dogs loved the large garden to play in. Lots of great places to visit nearby. We we definitely return to Ranny Roe.

Excellent house, clean, comfortable, great view, loved all the instructions, very clear.

Would definitely stay again. ( might need T-bag squeezer to make it totally perfect ;) )

Very comfortable, peaceful, spacious, remote location.

The view was beautiful and the house well equipped!

Such a wonderful place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for thinking of everything! What an incredible view! We would highly recommend this rental to others.

If you want to get away from it all and enjoy some peace and tranquillity then Ranny Roe is a wonderful place to do it.

It is set in a private lane overlooking a picturesque bay, absolute heaven. Our dogs enjoyed the large enclosed garden which had some great garden furniture where you could sit for meals or just enjoy the beautiful view. I loved Ranny Roe so much I've booked an Autumn break there.

As a dog friendly house it was great.

The snug was particularly lovey to sit jn. The ONLY drawback was the lack of anywhere to walk our dogs without getting in the car and driving somewhere. Otherwise a great place to stay and gorgeous views. The owners very helpful and left a lovely bottle of wine as a welcome.

We had a great holiday in Ranny Roe.

The house was clean, warm, comfortable, extremely well equipped and in a very peaceful location with lovely views. The owners take great care of their second home and also make sure the garden is well kept. We explored most of the Donegal coastal area which is stunning. Everyone loved the glorious beaches (especially our dog) and three of our party braved a dip in the sea! A real gem of a place and you won't be disappointed if you decide to holiday here. We will definitely recommend to friends and family and would love to return sometime.

Had a beautiful stay with our two small kids and two big dogs.

Lovely location, house was spotless and cosy. Everything we needed for a nice break away

The home is set in a stunning location so picturesque the wildlife is fantastic to watch we saw seals playing and so many different species of birds so lovely to hear their tunes it was a joy.

The home is off the beaten track 11km to nearest town Kerrykeel local store and takaway small bar we found Milford much better 17km.Ripples seafood Restaurant Kerrykeel 11km has stunning views and great food.this is a holiday home you will never forget it's on an unnamed road so if you see 3 cars in a day it's rush hour...the bottle of wine waiting was an added bonus and went down well.we were very lucky with the weather in May thank you to the owners for sharing your home.

We enjoyed our stay in Ranny Roe very much, the surroundings and views were very nice and it was a relaxing break.

We would love to go back again.

The bungalow is gorgeous!

It felt like home and was warm and cosy. Apart from storm Isha that was noisy and scary [ felt like the roof and windows were blowing out and off ] We had a quiet relaxing stay. We had our two large dogs with us and the property was perfect for them. Plenty of room inside and out. Everything was as described and there was plenty of towels, bedding and hot water! We made use of the laundry facilities as expected in a cold wet January. We stayed a week and I didn't want to leave.

We had a wonderful week at Ranny Roe, the views are spectacular and the cottage is perfect - really well maintained and great for dogs.

Very quiet road by the fish farm, hardly any passing traffic at all as it's a private road. Note that everything is a drive away so be prepared for that. Awesome beach 5 minute drive, national parks, mountains and forest walks within 40 mins. Would highly recommend.

TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER COTTAGE WE BOOKED , OUTSTANDING VIEWS AND A LOVELY COTTAGE, WOULD RECCOMEND IT TO ANYONE.

We made a last minute booking to stay at ranny roe and we couldn't have asked for better, house was spotless and the dog was fantastic for the dog, Will definitely return thank you

we had a fantastic week staying at the Ranny Roe, would highly recommend it for that holiday you are looking peace and quiet.

the view out the front is simply stunning and we have it booked for 2024 already #perfect thanks

We had a very nice week staying at the property.

Property is very roomy and comes fully equipped with just about all that you will need, plus some additional items that are free for you to use. It is a very peaceful location with stunning views. The only slightly negative point is that there is nowhere to walk to direct from the property except along the road which would not be advisable.

Lovely house and absolutely beautiful location.

We will be back.

We LOVED our stay at Ranny Roe.

It actually exceeded expectations in terms of location - the beauty and seclusion of the spot. It is a very comfortable, spacious property and the fully enclosed garden was absolutely brilliant for our dogs. We enjoyed time spent in the house, and also the lovely area of Donegal that it is located in. Wonderful for exploring and discovery. We're already talking about a return visit. -Andrea [[two things only that were slightly tricky, and need not be published - our small car found the driveway difficult to negotiate - the combination of loose stones and fairly steep gradient was troublesome, and (tiny point) the light over the sink in the family bathroom was not working (bulb?)]]

A beautiful house in an amazing setting, a friendly warm welcome, we really enjoyed our stay,would happily return and recommend

Absolutely fabulous.

One of the best equipped cottages we have ever stayed in. The views are stunning and the dogs loved it too. Highly recommended.

Ranny Roe is a wonderful cottage.

The facility's are top class, with clear instructions for everything. We really enjoyed our stay. The view is breathtaking and changes by the minute. It is remote and private with very little traffic passing. We would highly recommend it for a peaceful and relaxing break.

Really enjoyed our stay at Ranny Roe , the large secure garden was excellent for our dogs which is a great bonus .

Well equipped house , nice views of the Bay . The house feels remote enough to enjoy some Donegal relaxing time but convenient and easy to get to places of interest and beautiful beaches. Great communication from the owners, easy to find , Wi-Fi connections good , nice selection of books , some games to use and good information left around the property.

Oct 2022 - A wonderful property in a wonderful location.

Booking, check-in and facilities available during our stay were top notch. I will definitely return to this property in the future.

Lovely spacious house in an awesome location.

Well equipped, clean and comfortable. Quiet and serene. Many attractions within easy driving distance. Good local shops. Loved it!!

We found Ranny Roe to be a fantastic place to stay.

It's in an area where the surroundings are very scenic. The views from the kitchen, snug and master bedroom over the bay are stunning and so relaxing. There was a good sized garden for our dog to run around. It's within easy driving distances for the local services and tourists places such as Fanad Lighthouse, Dunfanaghy and Downings.

We absolutely loved Ranny Roe.

The views were stunning and the peace and tranquility perfect. A car is essential. There is lots of parking which was important for us as were towing a trailer. There is a local supermarket approximately 4 miles away in Portsalon and a Lidl supermarket 10 miles away in Milford. The area has some of the most stunning beaches and views to be seen anywhere in the world!! The Atlantic Drive is fabulous. There are various bars and restaurants in nearby Portsalon, Kerrykeel and Downings. Ranny Roe has everything needed for a fabulous holiday. We would love to return.

Great home, lovely welcome with a bottle of wine, and turf for the fire.

Stunning views in a quiet, rural location. Property was clean, well equipped and homely, very secure for children and dogs. Would definitely recommend. Location is great, central point to Kerrykeel, Portsalon and Downings. The only downside is that nowhere is walkable due to having small children with us, but everywhere is a quick journey in the car

Well, what a stunning location for our long-awaited family get together!

The property accommodated folk from 3 households perfectly in the 3 bedrooms & ample bathroom facilities. We just loved the space, cleanliness & friendly welcome we received. A massive plus for us was the walled, gated garden where the dogs could run around safely. Around the area, the beach to the north 5 mins drive away was huge (and empty) and the little town of Milford had a supermarket & various shops which kept us supplied. We also enjoyed the take away food from Fanad Lodge - twice - although the menu in the house is no longer valid so it's best to call in to choose from the extensive menu at the bar then collect later at an agreed time. We were concerned that, having buildings serving the salmon farm on either side, there might be noise / smells, but we need not have worried. There was very little activity, no smells, and the buildings might not even have been there - far enough away and behind hills covered in sheep & cows. All in all, a great holiday in a gorgeous, spacious home with peace & quiet and views to remember for a lifetime!

Excellent location for anyone seeking a quiet, relaxing holiday outside the main holiday season.

House well-equipped, comfortable and warm. Ideal location to explore North Donegal. Owners easy to contact and helpful.

We are just back from a week at Ranny Roe.

It is the most clean, comfortable property. It has everything you could ever need. Our two dogs loved every minute. Beautiful views. Highly recommended.

A really nice and comfortable house.

The location and facilities first class. We had a really relaxing holiday at Rannie Roe.

Very nice property in a beautiful location.

Great base for exploring the Fanad peninsula and across North West Donegal. Very safe and suitable location for the family dogs. Would recommend highly

We had a wonderful welcome and stay at Ranny Roe.

A very comfortable and pleasant place to stay. Beaches galore near by and the roads were almost empty. Just perfect. Thank you.

Lovely property with wonderful views.

The cottage provided everything needed for a comfortable stay, the welcome gift and the starter pack for the fire were particularly welcome. The starburst hints placed throughout the property were very useful to help navigate the facilities. The house was always warm and the warmth very much appreciated after a day out in the elements that the winter in can Donegal bring.

House is great.

Very secluded. Location is superb. Beautiful surroundings. Very peaceful. House was as per description. it was clean, comfortable, spacious, and warm. Beds were very comfortable. Firm but not too hard. Slept very well during our stay. More than enough to see on the Fanad peninsula over a few days. We did Fanad lighthouse, Portsalon Beach twice, on the final day we climbed Lough Salt Mountain. Reasonably easy climb and incredible views from the top. We tried to get to Great Pollet sea arch but the farmer has closed access and the other route is a bit dependent on low tide. The only minor issue I had was that the cooking facilities are tricky to use unless you're used to induction hob and range cooking. However I did bake a cake in the oven and it turned out really good. And cooked much faster than usual. Other than that, we loved everything about the house.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location

Fantastic holiday home, our only gripe was that the master bedroom mattress is very hard and noisy, as my children wake in the night I kept waking my husband getting out of bed, so we both didn’t sleep well.

The owners were very helpful and kept in touch all holiday. It’s a beautiful setting and Donegal is amazing.

Ranny Rae cottage was situated with an amazing view of the Lough ( easy access too for canoes or SUP).

The cottage was very clean and comfortable with layout as described. Garden was large and secure for kids and dog. Directions provided and other contact with owners was very clear. We had a great stay. My only area for improvement would be some of the furnishing and kitchenware would benefit from a refresh.

We had a great holiday and loved the location.

Plenty of space in the house and it was lovely and spotlessly clean however decor is a little dated. Sofa was quite uncomfortable as was the master double bed. Kitchen only has a range oven which works fine but is a bit awkward. Overall I would recommend and we really enjoyed our stay.

In our arrival the cottage was immaculately clean so that in these difficult times we immediately felt safe and relaxed.

Beautiful location and the house was spacious and very comfortable and close to all amenities. We had a wonderful week there and would highly recommend it.

The house setting is amazing for peace and quiet with beautiful scenery and wildlife literally on your doorstep.

Very helpful owner who replied to mails and questions very quickly and went over and above to help.

We really enjoyed our stay in Ranny Roe.

The house is comfortable and we really loved the views, particularly from the sun room. Good spot for surfing and exploring the area.

What a beautiful home in an amazing location.

Off the main road so not traffic other than the vehicles for the fishing business on same road, magnificent views across the bay. Close to Portsalon & Downing’s which is brilliant. And pet friendly! I would most definitely recommend this house to friends. Only issue we had was that the bed in the main bedroom is extremely hard and uncomfortable. But if didn’t ruin the holiday.

This cottage was excellent,it was spacious,cozy and warm,the beds were super comfy.

The views across Mulroy Bay,and the mountains were unreal. We did have a few wee hiccups with the range cooker and getting the heating right,but on contacting the owner Dennis,who by the way lives in Boston,he replied to us and we got everything sorted,nothing was a problem for him,he is just the perfect host,and he kept in touch with us to make sure everything was ok,couldnt thank him enough. Being pet friendly we had our wee Jack Russell with us,the garden which is quite big is all enclosed,and our dog had plenty of room to run about and was always safe,which was great for us too. Couldn’t recommend this house enough,we spent 4 days here and we had a fabulous time,and we will return.
