"Really loved our stay at Carnaween View cottage!"
The house is very remote - so quiet and peaceful. It is well looked after and has everything needed. There is lots to see and do in the surrounding areas and villages. Would recommend a visit to Assaranca Waterfall & Maghera Beach & Caves. Narin Beach isn't too far away either and is spectacular.
The cottage has a main stove in the living room which heats the water and radiators, and there are additional electric heaters in the bedrooms if needed (we didn't need them). There's also a wee stove in the main bedroom. Paddy is a real gentleman and you can tell he really looks after the cottage. We will definitely be back here!

"The owner makes it clear that this is a remote cottage accessed via a single-track road."
It is in a beautiful location which was perfect for what we wanted. This traditional cottage has been extended and modernised to provide all conveniences including reliable Wifi and TV with Freview. That makes it a very special place for a quiet holiday with immediate access to The Bluestack Way footpath which is part of the International Appalachian Trail. Both hiking boots and wellingtons proved useful! We found Paddy very welcoming and especially helpful - including introducing us to a car mechanic when we needed one!

"A Very cosy cottage in lovely surroundings has everything you need +more."
A very friendly and helpful host in Paddy who is and should be proud of what he has done to his family home. To go during lambing season was the icing on the cake for us
Glad you enjoyed your stay. Great to meet you both and talk. Lambing just finished yesterday and I’m glad.

"This is a delightful renovated and extended traditional cottage."
It is very remote, which is exactly what we were looking for. The property owner was kind and very helpful, with great recommendations for an evening meal in Glenties and a remote pub with trad sessions. We were very happy with all aspects of the accommodation and grateful for acceptance of my adult Irish Wolfhound as a guest.
My only suggestion (not a criticism) to the owner would be to perhaps have a written document explaining the system for getting hot water in the 2 showerheads in the bathroom. Once the system was explained, we could understand the reasons we did not have hot water each day.
For people looking for accommodation well off the beaten track, I recommend Carnaween View highly.

"I just loved staying at the cottage, it had everything in it that u would need to have a comfortable stay."
Remote but beautiful! Using the country road up to the lane that takes you to the cottage is very narrow, but as Paddy told us, never reverse if u meet another vehicle, locals understand and will reverse for u.
If your into hiking /walking great for that, so many different walks that go on forever.
A great base for other places to visit in the surrounding area.
And Paddy the owner is a great host.
I highly recommend a stay here.

Very secluded and safe. We’ve been there for 6 days with 3 kids and 2 dogs. Everyone was happy. Paddy the owner is a very kind man and we had very good contact and we could ask about area and past leaving here. Everything was very interesting. We would definitely come back here.

"The location of this beautiful cottage is heaven on earth."
It's home away from home, we found it hard to leave. Paddy was a very kind gentleman, we had plenty of firewood, the cottage was spotless, lots of hot water, no neighbors for miles, just the sound of the babbling water from the mountains and the wind whistling in the trees.

"This cottage is a wonderful place, far away from everything else, to relax !"
Yet, it is near enough for all activities like hiking and sightseeing in the area of western Donegal.
It is well equipped, with everything you need. Everything was clean, functional and we had also the possibility to have a good internet access after contacting the owner.
The Owner, Paddy, is a very friendly host, who really takes care of you and your needs, without beeing obtrusive in any way! We had a lot of very interesting talks with him, and he can be very proud of this place he has so wonderfully rebuild and renovated.
We heartily recommend this cottage and will definitely return some day.
