  • "The property was everything that we hoped it would be, matching the pictures and descriptions on the website."

    The views were stunning, particularly as we were blessed with probably one of the best week’s weather of the year. I have spinal issues and choose properties that appear to have comfortable furniture, very often I’m disappointed but on this occasion the sofas and beds were great. The owners have created a beautiful home and provide pretty much everything that you would need. There’s plenty to see and do in the area, lovely walks and beaches close to the house and pretty good shops and restaurants in Dungloe which is a short drive away. If you want somewhere that you can completely relax in peace and quiet you won’t be disappointed. We couldn’t get the TV to operate but decided not to bother contacting the owner about it as it was nice to just read and chat and soak in the views that didn’t disappoint thanks to the sunshine. We’d love to return some time in the future as this was a great find.

  • "Amazing modern high tech house with the most incredible views from the sitting room."

    The house was very clean and well equipped with everything you could need on holiday, apart from a working plug in the en suite. The biggest problem was the lack of instruction booklets for anything. We managed to download some manuals for kitchen white goods but didn't manage to do anything about the blind that didn't work. It would also be useful if there was a name sign on the house, it was only because my daughter recognised it from the pictures that we found it first time.

  • "The property was a joy to stay in with just the right level of comfort and facilities."

    The pictures do not do it justice as both inside and the view were even more wonderful. The only addition would be some instruction on how to switch off the outside lights as we would like to have seen the night sky but that was very minor. Overall one of the best holiday houses I have ever stayed in.

  • "We absolutely fell in love with this house, the house was beautiful, perfect infact."

    The owners left us a lovely bottle of wine when we arrived which was a lovely touch. We spent a week living in luxurious comfort, the views where amazing and it was so peaceful there, shops where a short drive away the area has some of the most beautiful beaches ive ever seen, we made some beautiful memories in this house, and we where truly saddened to have to leave, Only thing I would say and it's the only negative and a small one was the midges (flys) where attracted by the spotlight at the front of the house at night stopping us from sitting out as much as we would have liked at night. We plan to return to this house as it stole our hearts. Thank you to the owners for giving me and my family some unbelievable memories.

    We were extremely happy with this accommodation which was bright, clean, spacious and modern. It is furnished really well with everything you would need for your holiday. We were so impressed that we have already booked for next Easter but this time we will be going for 2 weeks instead of 1. The location of the property is simply beautiful. The owner communicated extremely well with us and was very helpful. As a side note I have seen properties online then when I arrived they have been half the size from the impression on the photos. This property is exactly how it is shown.

    We've just returned from a week's stay in a stunning property in beautiful Donegal. The views from the panoramic full length windows in the lounge were absolutely stunning. The underfloor heating made the whole property so cosy and warm, and the beds were incredibly comfortable making for a fabulously relaxing holiday. Traeannagh Bay House truly is a stunning property which we would thoroughly recommend to anyone travelling to this part of Ireland.

    My son and grandson flew from the UK to spend the week with us...The house was lovely and easy to use.

I would recommend this house to anyone who wants a home from home holiday and to have a relaxing time...Thank you for allowing us to have a family holiday at this amazing place. Would like to think we will return.

    This is my fourth trip this year to Teresa and Bernard's properties, here and Crohy house - this area of Donegal is so special, we travelled short distances to different beaches each day and indeed many times a day too. The house is so comfortable, clean, modern, every possible facility available. The panoramic view from the sitting room is truly special - 180 degree landscape to include rolling mountains, sea, tides and the oyster farm of course. Stylish, modern, clean and comfortable and so quiet - a piece of paradise to relax in. Also had the pleasure of meeting Bernard and Teresa this time which was super special. The fantastic furniture and maintenance of their properties is a credit to them both.

    A true treat for us all just after Christmas. Everything to hand, it felt like we were the first people to rent the house out - everything impeccable and what a fabulous view. The most comfortable leather couches from which to truly view 4 seasons in one hour - thank you for the lovely bottle of bubbly - a very special touch. Booked it immediately again - highly recommended - remote and narrow roads which add to the experience- the sun rise over the bay- mussel collections when the tide is out - truly special - thank you very much.

  • "Traeannagh bay house is a modern state of the art, clean and comfortable house."

    The house has great views in a beautiful location about four mile from Dungloe. The heat pump heating for the house works very well providing unlimited hot water and heating but is non adjustable which made the bedrooms a little warm at night. The hi-tech cooker had no instructions and was difficult to work. The sitting room is very comfortable but a table light and coffee tables addition could improve viewing TV. Lastly a few extra towels would help overall comfort in this lovely house.
