“Lovely home, comfortable and well decorated.”

A great place for a family with three areas for seating. Good showers and plenty of hot water as well as a washer and dryer. A few wine glasses ,more pot lids and teaspoons would be useful. Good Tv reception. A peaceful secure setting but transport needed. ...

A great place for a family with three areas for seating. Good showers and plenty of hot water as well as a washer and dryer. A few wine glasses ,more pot lids and teaspoons would be useful. Good Tv reception. A peaceful secure setting but transport needed. The original advertised listing is misleading and simple amendments would avoid disappointment to future visitors. There is no pub/ shop ‘< 1 mile’ from the house . The nearest one we found was a 35/40 minute walk or 5 minute drive in Dungloe and there are plenty there. The outside area has enclosed land but it was overgrown, boggy and very uneven.. no suitable for ball games and certainly not a ‘ lawn’ as described. This is a lovely area to visit and a comfortable place to stay.

“Hi The cottage was advertised as being a 10 minute walk from town.”

It was at best a 10 minute drive. The problem I had with this was that my wife doesn’t drive and when I flew back to London for a few days she was literally stranded there with 3 kids...ultimately I would not have selected this cottage if I had been aware of this. Should not be advertised as such as its completely misleading. However the cottage was lovely. Can’t fault anything with it and certainly exceeded our expectations Ps the WiFi was really bad. Shouldn’t be advertised as having WiFi at all!

Thank you for your feed back I am very sorry to hear your stay was not as expected, the website has now been updated correctly. I fully apologise for the inconvenience caused to your family and hope one day you will return Owner relations

A splendid family bathroom rests close by, as does a wonderfully bright sun room, providing an alternative relaxing space, should you seek some quiet time to unwind with the addition of pleasing countryside views.

Your tasty home-cooked meals can be enjoyed in the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, dominated by a fabulous old Rayburn, offering a range of high-quality appliances.

The three bedrooms here at The Diamond are all thoughtfully decorated to ensure a peaceful resting spot; one of the two king-size bedrooms benefits from a handy en-suite shower, while the twin bedroom offers additional sleeping, should a further guest wish to experience this countryside retreat.

About the location

DUNGLOE, COUNTY DONEGAL

Arranmore Island 7.5 miles; Letterkenny 32 miles.

Up until 1762, entry into the town of Dungloe in Donegal was only possible via the stepping stones dotted over the river. Thankfully, now visitors from all over the world can take the much easier route over Donegal Bridge and enjoy this charming town in County Donegal with ease. Dungloe is known locally as 'The Capital of The Rosses', the name given to this region of the county. The town, which has become recognised as a centre for traditional Irish music, has a selection of shops, bars and eating places, as well as events taking place throughout the year, including the annual 'Mary from Dungloe' festival. A fisherman's paradise, the area has over 130 lakes and rivers and is renowned for its fishing and great sea angling, with several charter boats available in nearby Burtonport, from where diving can also be enjoyed. There are also daily boat trips from the harbour to Arranmore and Rutland Island. Wonderful wildlife can be found in the bogs and reed beds, while golfers will love the variety of golf courses found in the surrounding area. With hills and mountains to explore, the dramatic coastline to enjoy and so much to see and do, this is sure to make the perfect base for your Donegal holiday.
