The main bathroom door didn’t shut and the we couldn’t use the shower in the main bathroom anyway because there was no shower screen and the shower head leaked resulting in all 6 of us queuing to use the en-suite. The blind in one of the bedrooms was broken which wasn’t great if you wanted a lie in past 5.30. The cottage itself was in a fantastic location and the hotel nearby served good food and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s just a shame these issues which were relatively easy and cheap to fix hadn’t been resolved.

Thank you for your comments. I'm pleased to hear that the enjoyed your holiday in Donegal. We don't appear to have heard from your during your stay, so we weren't able to rectify these issues for you. However, we have passed your comments on to the property owner, who will be acting on them accordingly. Kind Regards, The Customer Relations Team Owner relations

“There was a terrible smell in the kitchen due to piping I think.”

Around the dishwasher and washing machine. Also very annoying not having any signal or wifi.

“Fantastic holiday house”

Stayed for a week in this lovely holiday house. It was extremely clean and well equipped. We had a TV , washing machine , dishwasher, fridge and full sized cooker. Central heating ,electricity and fuel for the open fire ( peat and logs) was included in the rental price. Downstairs there is an open plan living room and kitchen diner.There is also a nice comfortable double room, toilet and basin. Upstairs there is a large double ensuite,2 twin rooms and a large bathroom with a hand held shower over the bath. This house is within walking distance of Portnoo beach and golf club and is handy for Ardara and Glenties . It is an ideal touring base for the Wild Atlantic Way . Although it is situated behind The Lake House hotel you don't get any noise or disturbance from the hotel. I would highly recommend this holiday house to anyone wanting clean comfortable self catering accommodation in peaceful surroundings in South West Donegal.

“Clean, well equipped house.”

Cosy with both central heating and open fire - logs and turf provided. Towels are provided but have seen better days and need to be replaced. Bed linen also provided and is good quality. Beds are very comfortable.

“We had a brilliant week in Narin at the holiday house the house was spacious well laid out and very comfortable to sleep in, I loved the enclosed back yard for our wee dog too, there is limited phone reception but just dander outside a few steps and you can connect also the staff at the hotel are very friendly and accommodating if you need wifi but we were happy enough to remain disconnected!”

Narin has a lovely beach mainly used by families and older people there is a local bar beside the beach with nightly entertainment but that's it so if you're expecting a wild night life you might want to head to the bigger towns, again we were happy with the isolation. the Dolmen centre is worth a visit plus the harbour at portnoo for snorkelling, we spent a fair bit of time in Ardara a lovely bustling town nearby. You can purchase bin bags at the shop in portnoo for collection by the council and there is a toaster at the property too. Also the shop in portnoo give a good rate for sterling. All in all an excellent time was had by all and I can't wait to go back to the holiday house! Thank you so much!

“Lovely little cottage, in a quiet area.”

We were the only ones and at night it was very dark and with no phone signal you feel a bit isolated. The hotel closed during the week; but came alive at the weekend, this probably changes when the holiday season gets underway. The cottage was airy and comfortable with a great heating system, also the back was closed in which made it secure for our little dog. A couple of little features though: a toaster, micro wave and decent telly would help things, though we didn't need a fire, there was no starter pack, which usually is the case and a few toilets rolls would have been handy as well, having said this, the beach is not to far away and it's a beautiful walk with some spectacular scenery. A car is a must to get around.
