The Old Rectory Coach House

Beautiful coachouse on the shores of Lough Swilly, Co.

Donegal. Secluded setting with lovely garden. Beach and local amenities within walking distance of coachouse. Owner & local caretaker immediately responsive on contact. Coachouse as described in the listing.

I have to commend the owner for the fabulous house.

It is incredibly comfortable and clean. A truly perfect spot for those looking for a home away from home. A little slice of perfection in Donegal. Ideal for those who have a dog. Gorgeous garden and a short stroll to the beach and Rathmullan. Thank you Michael for a fantastic week.

This property is absolutely perfect for people who want a home away from home.

location is perfect.so close to beaches,walks,coffee vans and places to eat but what we loved most was the quiet and seclusion you felt both in the house and outside in the immaculate walled garden.it is a literal oasis in beautiful rathmullan. We will return!

The old rectory is an ideal place for any stay in Rathmullan.

It is ideally situated, a stones throw from the beach. It is tastefully decorated and really comfortable place to stay. Cannot recommend it enough

The old coach house is a lovely comfortable option for those who wish to enjoy all that beautiful Rathmullan has to offer.

The fact that it is dog friendly makes it even more attractive for those of us with furry family. It is an old house with a steep staircase so bear in mind that it might not be suitable for young children or those with mobility issues. We stayed here for Christmas and it was magical. The owner has done a fabulous job on this lovely home, with very tasteful decor and beautiful little touches of colour and comfort. Highly recommended.

Beautiful, well-equipped and comfortable property close to all the amenities of Rathmullan.

A beautiful setting, very quiet and peaceful.

. a lot of effort has went into the cottage and garden which was very pretty.. we brought our little dog who loved the beach and garden.. really good instructions in what to do.. everything worked and we had no problems…our bed was really comfy good quality bedding and plenty of hot water..really great location.. very sheltered with the trees.. we would recommend this cottage..

Beautiful cottage and a very comfortable stay.

Very basic supplies - there were only a couple of loo rolls and fire logs and no full size bin bags, sponges etc. We were disappointed by the lack of engagement from the host during storm eowyn when we were without power/heating etc for 24 hours. However friendly neighbour and locals very helpful indeed!

Yet again, the Coach House provided us with a great holiday accommodation, great comfort with fantastic facilities and access to everything we needed.

Thank you

We were here with our dog September 2024 for two weeks, we did not want to leave it was beautifully decorated with all facilities required.

The private garden was idyllic fully enclosed great for the dog. Kenny and Michael were very helpful. Location great for a hub for travelling around Donegal. Lovely villiage with very welcoming locals. Cant wait to come again. Catherine Jim and Otis.

We enjoyed our stay in the Coach house.

The property was clean and with fresh decor and comfortable furnishings throughout. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 + Jack Russell. We also really enjoyed being so close to the beach. Michael was on hand during our stay and was very quick to resolve a small issue with the water and he was also very kind and welcoming. The use of the Kayak and BBQ etc are nice touches and we would have no hesitation in coming back if returning to the area. Rathmullan is a beautiful and welcoming place and very relaxing. Highly recommended.

My family and I had a wonderful, relaxing week at the Old Coach House!

The property was so tastefully decorated (by the fabulous Amy @wildandrosie) with super-comfortable beds and linens. The location was serene with picturesque gardens, all a stone's throw from the sandy beach at Rathmullan. We made use of the 2-person kayak available and barbecue (paddle boards and bikes also available for guests). It is a short five minute walk along a woodland path to Rathmullan House and a couple of minutes to the White Harte pub and Belle's kitchen too, great to have all on our doorstep. Would definitely recommend to anyone! Our dog was devastated she had to leave! 5* Many thanks! :-)

Great location and lovely cottage

Very well decorated and very clean.

Lots of books and games. Lots of extras eg bikes and paddle boards So close to beach !!! Not a major problem but wish there was an extra toilet up stairs. Keep up the good work

This is an ideal property for us, really close to the beach, pub and walks .

. all on the doorstep!! The enclosed garden was a real treat for our little dog too!! It’s a very comfortable house, cosy and warm , comfortable beds and an amazing shower!! We regard this house very highly and wouldn’t hestitate to commend it.

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for a gorgeous weekend by the sea.

The property was exactly as it looks online - beautifully decorated with all home comforts. Literally a 2 minute walk from the beach and all the local amenities. It was perfect and can't wait to go back.

A tastefully converted former coach house situated on the shore of Loch Swilly, within a stone's throw of the beach and everything the village has to offer.

Whether you're looking for adventure and wish to explore the Wild Atlantic Way, or are needing some down time and seeking an escape, this is the perfect spot regardless of the time of year. We all love coming here, and honestly can't wait to return - that probably says it all. Thanks Michael!

This was our second visit to the property.

We enjoyed our stay just as much second time round. Close to all amenities minutes from the beach and so peaceful.

We had such a lovely stay at the coach house that we regretted not booking it for longer!

The house is comfortable, beautifully decorated, and we felt instantly at home there. It is very private and only a couple of minutes walk away from the beach, restaurants and bars. We can't wait to stay again!

Lovely cottage and great location - photos don’t do it justice.

10 out of 10

Lovely location and beautiful property.

However our stay was marred by the large number of feather-filled cushions, upholstery, bearskin rug etc., which unfortunately triggered allergies and resulting discomfort. We decided to cut short our stay by 2 nights as a result. Understand that not all guests will suffer from this issue, but in our case, it pretty much ruined our holiday, so is something that either needs to be addressed, or clearly mentioned in the property description for future guests.

A beautiful property in an excellent location!

The decor and furnishings are beautiful and it makes for a very cosy and comfortable stay. Having the beach and playground 2 mins away was excellent for our two young boys, but even the garden behind the cottage was gorgeous for a bit of outdoor play. I would definitely stay here again!

Very pleased with decor and lay out had a very relaxing stay and would recommend this listing to friends and family and will be booking again.
