"Hidden Gem Cottage is exactly that, Surrounded by woodland and on the edge of open moorland."
About 6 miles from the nearest (spectacular) beach. Comfortable and secluded ,ideal for those wanting a peaceful getaway.

"It was a lovely little cottage."
The beds were the best we’ve had in years. Eating at the bar wasn’t very comfortable. Unfortunately, there was no washing machine (this hadn’t been mentioned either), so we did miss having one.
There weren’t many glasses either. We mentioned this to the caretaker. She said she would sort it out.
Although we were quite close to a main road, it didn’t bother us much.
Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

"Hidden gem is in a beautiful location."
House was clean and well equipped Freezer would be a great asset to the house. Also an emersion heater would be good,had to put heating on for warm water
We had a couple of days with rain, the house seemed to have a lot of wormy like things creeping up the walls and in the house not sure if this was to do with the rain. Fiona was very helpful and very accomodating.

"Lovely little cottage, quite tricky to find, might be useful to use the Sweeney shop as a landmark on intructions."
No facility for washing or drying clothes other than basic dryer in one bedroom. ( not much space for washing machine but may be helpful for future guests)No wardrobes or chairs in bedrooms to put clothes on which may be useful.
Decorater appeared one day to pain the cottage (which is for sale, for sale sign outside) may have been good to have some warning of this, As we returned to find work going on on outside of house which we hadn't expected. Overall a lovely wee cottage an a very pleasant stay.

"A lovely home to stay in, very clean, warm and tidy ( we stayed mid April so still plenty of cold nights)."
Eamonn and Fiona very obliging and friendly. The bed is very comfortable and huge (super king size). Great area for walking or cycling breaks. Thank you

"A very pleasant little cottage tucked away in the woods but very close to the coast and local facilities."
The description was not wholly accurate in that the beds were not King Size, alhtough they were otherwise comfortable. There was a TV in every room. There was no freezer or freezing compartment in the fridge which was a felt ommission. Overall, though, we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

"Really enjoyed the Hidden Gem Cottage, the directions given by the owner were great."
,the house was lovely but we had no WiFi which was advertised as being part of the service and paid for. The people in the cottage next door had been given the modem that was meant to be in our cottage and it was shared between both cottages. Unfortunately as I it didn't reach us, it meant we had none. The owner said he would ask the people next door to give it back but we never got it and he should have ensured it was in the cottage.

Donegal. Easy access to local beaches and on direct route for further destinations. The shame was that we were limited to only a week's stay. Provisions easily obtainable from nearby Dungloe. The owner, Eammon is most helpful and easily contacted. We shall be back!
