    Never been anywhere that didn't provide a welcome pack, after 8 hours on the road would have been nice to make a cup of tea, as mentioned before sofa wasn't that comfortable, would have been useful to programme hot water for our needs time clock all taped up ,we enjoyed our stay

    Hi Nigel, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We do keep tea, coffee, and condiments in the food press, but we’ll make a note to ensure it’s well stocked in future. A welcome pack is a great idea, and we’ll certainly look into it. The hot water can be easily programmed via the heating control in the hotpress, with instructions available in the welcome booklet. Thanks again, and we hope to welcome you back in the future Natasha Property Owner

  • "We found the property extremely disappointing, filthy and depressing."

    We left the following morning. It was well below the acceptable standards of all our previous bookings with Hogans over many years. We informed the owner immediately, as we did with Hogans, but Hogans complaints system has been difficult to navigate and still unresponsive to our complaint and a refund.

    HI Martin, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the property wasn’t to your taste. This is the first review of this nature we’ve received. Our cleaners take great care to prepare the house, and the vast majority of our guests have found it comfortable, homely, and an ideal base from which to explore our beautiful area thanks again, Natasha Property Owner

    20 minute walk to An Charraig. .We met a stag on the lane and fox cross the garden- very rural! It is easy access to drive from the cottage to Sliabh Liag and Killybegs or Glenties and Ardara

    Hi Anthony! Thats amazing so glad you enjoyed yourself! Ive seen foxes regularly there but the stag is something a bit special! It sure is rural! We are up next week ourselves Ill keep an eye out for him!. Thanks again for your nice comments and hope to see you again! Natasha Property Owner

  • "The cottage is in a beautiful location but i must say the bushes leading to the cottage did scratch our car and should be cut more often."

    Also the sofa and chairs in the sitting room really need to be replaced and my arthritis got so bad i had to lay on the bed and play music in the evening instead of relaxing and watching tv so please keep this in mind even replacing the sofa with a good second hand one would be great. Apart from that the cottage is clean and the views are great if the issues are sorted out i woud come back in a heartbeat

    Hi Kieran thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed the location and the cottage. We're really sorry to hear about those bushes with your car – that's definitely not what we want for our guests. And we're especially sorry that our sitting room furniture caused you discomfort, particularly with your arthritis. We liked it personally but we replaced it with more supportive couches and chairs in the summer as our guests comfort is very important to us. We've already made a note to get those bushes trimmed back regularly. We hope to see you another time Thanks again. Natasha. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay at this cosy cottage in Donegal."

    The place was comfortable, very well-equipped, and all the facilities were exactly as described. A special mention must go to the lovely neighbour living next door. They were incredibly welcoming and friendly, which really added to the charm of our trip. We also absolutely loved the idyllic garden right outside the door — it was such a peaceful spot to sit back and enjoy the beauty of Donegal. We’d highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a warm, relaxing, and memorable getaway. Thank you for a great stay!

    Hi Dominika Thank you so much for your lovely review!. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay!. Its lovely to hear our area being described so nicely, We always thought it was a bit special, but its lovely to hear it!. we will pass on your comments to our neighbour they will be delighted!. Best wishes and hope to see you again soon. Natasha Property Owner

  • "The location of Kits Cottage was amazing."

    Bird life with the cuckoos, pheasants and Bill's ponies all added to the ambience. Facilities were basic and kitchen area could have been cleaner, however the beds were cosy ,clean and comfortable, we had a great nights sleep. The main downside was the track to the cottage, because one of us had back problems after the 2nd or 3rd day we actually dreaded leaving the cottage as the track made the journey unpleasant and painful. Any cars with low clearance may have difficulties on the track.

    Hi Jacqueline, Thank you for your feedback and we’re really glad you enjoyed the bird life, Bill’s ponies, and had a great night’s sleep in the cottage. We’re sorry to hear the lane was an issue during your stay. We just wanted to clarify for future guests that towards the end the lane there is a fork in the road. The lane to the left is the correct one to use. We’ve recently had it improved, and while it’s still a typical rural country lane (part of the charm for some!), it’s definitely passable with normal cars, We have a lot of guests and relatives coming and going all the time. We will update shortly with some photos of the lane to give guests a clear picture. Thanks again for helping us improve — we hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable! Best wishes and hope to see you again soon! Natasha Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at the cottage and enjoyed the tranquility."

    Everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including cooking facilities (couldnt get the oven grill to work), a lovely stove for chilly evenings, WiFi and comfy beds. Location was great,just a short 5 minute drive from Carrick town. From there we explored Slieve League, Bunglass viewpoint, Fintra beach, Glencomcille etc. The property is down a very steep and stony lane with many potholes. We had brought 2 cars as we had 2 dogs and 2 teenagers so shared the load. However on one day when we were all in the one car, the boys had to get out of the car as we feared we'd damaged rhe underside on the bumps. Also it would be a fair walk into Carrick along a narrow road with no footpath, so a car was really needed for every trip.

    Dear Pauline, Thanks so much for your feedback and really glad you liked the cottage and the surroundings! We are really enjoying hearing from our guests and getting some valued insights. We have noted your experience, and have recently had the lane repaired, so it should be fine from now on. We also got the grill fixed so thanks for bringing that to our attention. The walk into Carrick takes about 20 minutes, and is a quiet road so we have always found it lovely for walking, Im going to leave some vis vests just so people feel a bit more secure. Thanks and hope to see you again at Kits Cottage! Best wishes Natasha Property Owner

  • "Myself and my wife stayed in kit's cottage last week for 3 nights."

    Felt at home as soon as we walked in the door. The location is lovely, with mixed woods all around and a great view over the estuary from the garden bench. It's a great base for exploring the south of Donegal. It's also in a great location for hill walking. We did some of the Drum loop walk on the Friday after the rain stopped. Then on Saturday we did the sliabh Leigh loop walk, up over the one man pass and back along the fantastic new rejuvenated pathway. Stopped off for a cold Guinness in the rusty mackerel before completing the loop. Overall we had a great stay and intend returning. The only problem we had was that there was no companion set to clean out the log burner. Also a coffee pot, percolator or similar would be of benefit to any cofficinados staying. We had our own with us, so no bother with fresh coffee. Thanks for the loan of the lovely cottage for a few very enjoyable days. Peadar MacMillan - baile atha cliath - Dublin

    Hi Peadar, thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed your stay and that you braved the One Mans Pass as well. Companian set for fire there now and a coffee machine on the way as suggested. Hope you make it back again to tackle some of the other mountains in the area. Sliabh Tuaidh between Port and Maghera is a good one. Cronarard on way to Killybegs either, fantastic ridge walk with amazing views and some wreckage of a WW2 Lancaster Bomber plane crash up there too. Paddy Property Owner

  • "Kits Cottage is in a lovely location with beautiful scenery."

    If you want peace and quiet and amazing views, this is the perfect place. All you hear is bird song, and see the sheep, horses and occasionally a fox strolls by. You can see the sea from the bedroom (fight for the left hand side of the bed!!) and our favourite spot is the seat in the garden. Just perfect, even in October. We enjoyed sitting here with a glass of wine and a book after our days out. A little table would be nice! This appears to be a new holiday cottage, certainly for Sykes but maybe to the holiday rental market. It has been recently decorated and has new curtains, bed linen, shower curtain etc. The lounge furniture is very comfortable. The heating and hot water are very efficient, but it would have been nice if at least the water was switched on for arrival. There are still some areas for improvement, but it is great value for money, especially for a family. We really appreciated having a washing machine, and the views from the washing line are the best ever! There are lots of good quality coat hangers, enough toilet rolls, washing up liquid, tea towels etc. Internet was fine, but our phones only worked in the garden. For bird lovers, this cottage is ideal, as not only do you have birds in the garden, but you can see the estuary, too. We saw Dunnock, Great tit, Wren, Curlew, Rook, Jackdaw, Robin, Carrion crow, Hooded Crow, Jays and Pied wagtails. Our Merlin App identified Siskin, short eared owl and Redwing. Maybe put bird feeders in the lower garden visible from the cottage – we would have happily bought nuts etc! Kitchen equipment may need reviewing. Larger sharp knives, better saucepans with lids. Table legs need tightening, it’s a bit wobbly at the moment. Maybe consider a guest book for feedback, and more tourist information. We would definitely return, and we would recommend. The cottage is comfortable and cosy, but its main selling point is the location and the views. We had an amazing week visiting beautiful places, but coming home to peace and beautiful views was the highlight.

    Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are delighted that you had such a good time and enjoyed the peace and quiet down at Kits cottage! We love your ideas for improvement, we are ordering a bird table as we speak. Maybe Santas robin will pay a visit before Christmas.... I saw that fox myself when we were up in the summer! And a little table is a great idea up at the bench. We will also review the kitchen equipment and sort the table. Also we will include more tourist information, as locals we have many walks and areas we would love to send our guests to. Thanks again for all your suggestions and we hope to see you again soon at Kits Cottage! Best wishes Natasha Property Owner

CARRICK, COUNTY DONEGAL

Teelin 1.8 miles; Killybegs 9.5 miles.

Carrick is often referred to as the gateway village to the majestic Slieve League cliffs and is situated in South West Donegal. This small vibrant village is popular with international visitors throughout the year as it has a rich culture, and its residents pride themselves on the stunning scenery and landscapes in the locality. The village is the perfect base for hill walkers and hikers of all ages and abilities, and a short drive takes you to the cliffs at Slieve League which at 601m high are one of the highest marine cliffs in Europe with truly breath-taking views from the summit. Just a short drive away is the village of Teelin, once Ireland’s main fishing port, but now that title has been awarded to the town of Killybegs just a little further afield. Here you will find some of Donegal’s best seafood, which should only be washed down with a pint of Guinness! Carrick is the perfect base for touring this county with the historic village of Glencolumbkille a short drive away and a little further takes you to Adara. Carrick also has many beaches within close proximity, as well as the beautiful Glen River which offers fishing and idyllic waterfalls. The unusual coastline, formed by round white stones at the coast of Port, is a beautiful attraction, and you can also climb the 152 steps to the Silver Strand at Malin Beag.
