  • "The cottage was just perfect."

    The dogs had a ball with two beaches nearby to run on. Very comfortable place to stay.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Radharc na nOileán."

    The property can't be faulted it was beautiful, spotless and had everything we needed. The surrounding area is lovely, very picturesque. We didn't get the weather we had hoped for but that can't be helped. We would definitely stay here again the local people were very friendly and our host Eilis was so nice, she met with us soon after we arrived and showed us where we could find everything and said she was only a call away should we have any questions. All in all we had a great time and would certainly recommend a stay here to anyone considering. We stayed towards the end of August 2024 and we look forward to booking in the future.

    Great beds, clean house, beautiful view. Beach on walking distance. Owners are really friendly and nearby for help or questions. We were allowed to put up a tent for the kids. 10 out of 10. Thank you Paddy & Ellis. We enjoyed your cottage and Kincasslagh.

  • "Clean, comfortable cosy cottage in a first class location."

    Just a few issues with wobbly water taps and water pressure in the sink in the one bathroom, but otherwise first class. The kitchen is well equipped and the bed linen is lovely. The cottage is in a wonderful location, a short walk away from Carrickfin beach down a quiet lane with stunning views of Errigle.

  • "Our most favourite place to stay in Donegal."

    Wonderful location to the beach, an half mile walk down a quiet lane, and easy to get further afield if desired. We’d recommend Colls, Teac Jack, and Leo’s for wonderful food. Dungloe for the groceries is just 15 min.

    ". It achieves that perfect blend of modern comfort and cleanliness mixed with old cottage features and charm. Location is great for exploring that corner of Donegal too.

  • "We had a wonderful week here."

    The cottage is amazing, beautiful location in between two beaches. Eilis is a wonderful host and left a lovely bag of scones and cake from the local cake shop. There are a few negative reviews from some years back, ignore them, this is a great place to hide away beside a cosy fire. We have already booked to go back again.

    Everything had been thought about so it was like a home from home with plenty of kitchen equipment etc. It had absolutely everything we needed for our weeks stay.

  • "Beautiful cottage has everything you need very clean and comfortable."

    Sofas are small for 2 adults and 2 teenage kids. Garden isn’t completely enclosed would recommend your dog has good recall and is friendly as there are other dogs that pass by the cottage one is very friendly one likes to bark a lot at your dog and you. Beach is literally 5 to 10 mins down the lane there is a barbwire fence to block off the lane but we just moved it and walked through think it’s just there as it’s a private lane. We drove to the beach by the Gaelic pitches which is 5 minutes in the car has a lovely walking trail. The shops are a good ten minute drive away if you need anything. The owners are lovely didn’t bother us at all but were only a text away if we needed them. Limited tv channels and signal isn’t the greatest on your phone so make sure you bring plenty to occupy yourselves and kids. Overall we had a lovely time and the dog loved his best life.

    Would be great if there were more tv stations especially when the weather can be a bit hit and miss. That said it’s a lovely relaxing, picturesque place and we loved it. A bit remote if you’re the type of family that’s looking for more. Beaches and tracking areas just stunning and lovely places for runs if you’re a runner.

  • "Pictures on website did not do the cottage which was really lovely, justice."

    Only negatives were that the electric kettle although working, was leaky...nothing major and the walkway to beach was blocked off with barbed wire fencing at the entrance to beach. This presumably is outside of the cottage owner's control.

  • "Ramharc na nOilean was a fantastic property with all the mod cons and an amazing location within walking distance of beautiful Carrickfinn Beach."

    Eilis and her family welcomed us and gave us advice and help whenever we needed it - particularly when their daughter N. babysat our dog so we could go on a guided kayaking trip to Owey Island. The property has everything a family needs, from fuel for the stove to a washer/dryer and 3 comfortable bedrooms. Eilis saw to it on our first day that the clothesline was repaired and promised to fix the dishwasher door that jams. Notable daytrips from the property: kayaking with Selkie Sailing, fishing trip with Paul with Saoire Mara Charters, hiking to Loch Inshagh in the Glenveagh National Park, amazing sunsets from the headland at Cruit Island Golf Club, Carrickfinn Beach and my favorite - Mullaghderg Beach. This is a great location for a family getaway - you will not be disappointed!

    The cottage is within walking distance of the beach which is just behind Donegal Airport. There is no noise whatsoever from the airport and you would not realise it was there unless you noticed the occasional aeroplane landing in what appears to be a sand dune. The beach is absolutely stunning. We stayed at the cottage at Easter time and found only a handful of people on the beaches. The cottage is furnished with a basic fit out but is comfortable and clean. If you are looking for a quiet escape with beautiful beaches, I would highly recommend this cottage.

The property

Kincasslagh 1.8 miles.

A detached, character cottage located in a quiet cul-de-sac amongst the stunning scenery of the Gaeltacht Rosses region, less than two miles from Kincasslagh in County Donegal.

This charming Donegal cottage exudes a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere from the moment you walk through the door.

Exposed stone walls make up the hallway and original beams help to create a traditional, cosy feel that is complemented by the modern conveniences throughout.

With the accommodation situated over the ground floor, this Donegal cottage near Kincasslagh offers three bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, along with a family bathroom boasting a character, claw-footed tub.

The inviting open plan living area, with its classic kitchen and cosy sitting area with multi-fuel stove is conducive to spending time together with loved ones.

Plus the additional sitting room, complete with an open fire, is the perfect place to enjoy a little undisturbed peace and quiet in this tranquil part of Ireland.

Outside this Donegal cottage is a lawned garden with patio, while nearby is the village of Kincasslagh along with the regional airport of Donegal, which offers excellent links to Dublin.

The Rosses is a small region in Donegal characterised by beautiful, wild landscapes and arguably, some of the best beaches in Ireland.

Just a short distance from this Kincasslagh cottage are the stunning strands of Mullaghderg and the Blue Flag Carrickfinn.

The jagged coastline of Donegal is a sight to behold with yet more breathtaking beaches at Bunbeg and Cruit Island, with the latter also hosting a superb golf course.

Explore the rugged Glenveagh National Park and conquer the imposing peak of Mount Errigal, which seems to stands solitary on the horizon, or visit the friendly towns of Dungloe and Derrybeg for a warm welcome and regular traditional music.

Leo’s Tavern, situated in Crolly, is less than a ten minute drive away.

It is renowned for its music, being the birth place of world famous musical talents, Enya, Clannad and Moya Brennan.

All this and more before returning to your delightful Donegal cottage; one you won’t fail to fall in love with!
