  • "Without a doubt this was the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in, the photos don't do it justice."

    Susie and Michael are wonderful hosts and provided us with a list of excellent restaurants in the area. We would love to own Quay Road Cottage.

  • "The house is spacious and bright with all the facilities and comforts of home."

    It's only a few minutes walk into Dungloe and it's a really peaceful spot. Susie and her husband couldn't have been more helpful when I had an unexpected issue with my car.

  • "The cottage was spotlessly clean and tidy and the owners had left us a package of breakfast items in the refrigerator, which was a nice touch."

    The cottage is in a prime location for the village. The village was lovely and friendly with more shops than we expected. The pubs are a credit to the village, very friendly and welcoming. The owners of the property obviously live next door. It was a shame we did not meet them to have a chat, that would have been nice. I would suggest a little tighten on bathroom taps, they are a tad loose and children staying there might struggle with them. It was our honeymoon and our first time to Ireland. So glad we chose to go there it is a beautiful country with such wonderful people. We hope to go back sometime.

  • "This cottage provided everything required for an excellent holiday experience."

    It is beautifully situated on the edge of the sea with easy access to the village and all the beauty spots of Donegal both north and south. The house is very comfortable and has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable sitting room. We were delighted that the owners had installed WiFi by the time we arrived. The owners were very helpful and made us feel most welcome. We can highly recommend Quay Cottage. Bríd

  • "This cottage has a first class location with exceptional views also good for shops, pubs touring etc."

    The cottage is very spacious but could do with a bit TLC is some bits. The Central light in the front bedroom did not work. The hot tap in the ensuite was loose and the shower lacked power. There was no bath mat in the bath in the bathroom and was very slippy when showering. The kitchen was well equipped but some of the dishes had chips on them. Some hooks to hang towels would be useful. Apart from the above we had a good holiday

    Exceptionally well equipped and nicely furnished house. Spacious and comfortable. We have rented a lot of houses in different parts of Ireland and Quay cottage is the best equipped and most homely we have been to. Welcome pack of eggs bacon etc. Most rentals only have the bare essentials so Quay Cottage is definitely one to recommend to family and friends. Many thanks.

    It is two minutes walk from the town and its choice of bars, shops and restaurants. There is a hotel also within 10 -15 minutes walking distance. The house itself is spotless with every amenity for self catering and the owners are welcoming and more than willing to share their local knowledge of the area and places of interest.

    A bit close to owner's house for privacy. House stocked with copious amounts of Edwardian delph. At least 30 glasses but not tone wine glass.Nice gesture welcome pack of processed meats that we don't use.Can this be the only Sykes Cottage with 4 ticks where the landlord doesn't provide a hairdryer? There was a broken one in the drawer which the owner said was left by a previous occupant but he didn't supply one. Had to purchase a hairdryer . Could have brought our own had we known. Wifi only available in the corner of an end bedroom.This could be a 9.9 premises if these niggles were ironed out and the landlord developed better inter-personal skills.

    We love seaside holidays and the cottage was next to the sea. It had excellent views especially early morning and evenings when the sun set. The surrounding area had numerous beaches, many of which were exceptional. Driving in this locality was a pleasure as the main roads were good, there was little traffic and the scenery was great. The shops in Dungloe were very convenient and there was a good choice of food for our self catering holiday. We were very lucky with the weather as warm, sunny days are essential for the type of holiday we required.
