    “The house is ok.”

    nice views. Plenty to do closeby. Ann provided us a babychair very friendly of her! When we arrived the house was packed with flies. Killed 25 of them..after this we had none gladly. The living room is quite small. We stayed with two adults and two small children. Kitchen is big. Some things can be improved easily to make it more user friendly. Like sharper knives for example to cut veggies, adjustement / fixation of the shower head. Mattress in adults bedroom needs to be replaced. the heating ...

Like sharper knives for example to cut veggies, adjustement / fixation of the shower head. Mattress in adults bedroom needs to be replaced. the heating is on timer behind a locked door you can't open this yourself when you get cold. We think that's really strange! The fresh eggs Pat gave us from the hens on the farm were delicious.

    Hi Merel, Sorry to hear you weren't completely happy with the cottage. Unfortunately we are in the middle of the country, on a farm and so flies are inevitable. I did adjust the heating to accommodate you and the family which you were very happy about. Also the stove was there for your convenience, which you refused to light. We even offered free fuel for the fire. Thankyou for your feedback. Property Owner

About the location

RATHMULLAN, COUNTY DONEGAL

Letterkenny 15 miles.

Nestled on the shore of Lough Swilly on the Fanad Peninsula, the quaint village of Rathmullan has a colourful history. It was from here that the last of the Celtic chieftains fled Ireland, now known as the Flight of the Earls, and there is an interesting heritage centre in the village commemorating this vital event in Ireland’s history. This sleepy seaside village offers a variety of local shops and pubs and a long sandy beach ideal for lazy days. The Fanad Peninsula is a haven for walkers, hikers and nature enthusiasts, and boasts a stunning coastline. The summer ferry crosses Lough Swilly to Buncrana, opening up Inishowen and beyond, and it’s only a short distance to the town of Letterkenny.
