Shroughan

Absolutely Fantastic.

I recommend this property very highly. The property is beautiful, the interior is amazing the scenery is fantastic. We absolutely loved our stay 10-10. Anne Marie was brilliant to contact we will definitely be back. Loved it David Melanie Hamish Darcy

We have just returned from a lovely weeks stay at this beautiful cottage.

Possibly one of the best cottages we have stayed in and excellent value for money. It is set in a peaceful and pretty location with quiet, stunning beaches just a short drive away. It's also a great kick off point to explore the Glen Veigh area and Donegal. We were thrilled to find the cottage clean, spacious and welcoming. Nicely furnished, well equipped and a real home from home. Anne-Marie was quick to respond to any queries we had and very helpful. We ate at The Strand restaurant/bar in nearby Falcarragh a couple of times, the food was excellent and not too expensive. It was great to find a nice place to stay with the dog, though the grounds were not secure to allow him outside untethered and unaccompanied. We will certainly consider staying here again should we return to this area.

Perfect in every way!

A superb break in a beautiful home! This cottage had it all, great location and grounds, spotlessly clean inside, extremely comfortable living room and bedrooms, modern quality finishes throughout and an exceptional kitchen with everything you could need. Better than any local hotel and a total joy to stay in, highly recommend as a must visit.

The property was an excellent standard and we had a very comfortable stay.

Lovely house to stay in and everything was a brill standard. Was lovely to have milk in fridge and board games in the living room. Have been recommending to others and would certainly stay again

The holiday home was absolutely amazing everything was provided lovely setting and very peaceful

Lovely property close to beaches.

Anne Marie very helpful. We would recommend this place for a nice relaxing stay.

Another great week spent at Shroughan - a lovely break away from city life for our party of 6!

This was our second stay at Shroughan and we really enjoyed our New Year break there.

The house is warm, comfortable and well-equipped and was an ideal base for our party of 6.

We had a wonderful week!

The house is easy to find, very handy to Falcarragh and its wonderful beach. It's also in a very convenient location to explore the rest of the area. We have stayed in many houses across Ireland and this was the most enclosed we've ever had for our 2 dogs, all you need is a set of gates at the front and it would have been completely enclosed. Definitely a good place for dogs! Inside the house was lovely and warm and very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and most things in great order. We were even left a litre of milk to get us going, which we really appreciated as we arrived late after work. The host sent us a wonderful information pack about the house, checked in on us by text and was very quick and helpful when there was a short power cut in the area. We would have a few suggestions to make it completely perfect but nothing impacted on our stay and we would definitely go back!! (Suggestions - a mirror in each of the bedrooms would be really helpful for female guests so we aren't all trying to use the bathroom mirror, in the kitchen a peeler, grater and a new frying pan would finish it off) Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!

Where to begin?

? From outside property and grounds look great. That's where it ends.. Outside at rear the garden is not enclosed, so not secure for dogs or children. No front gates leading onto a road so not safe or secure for dogs or children. Bigger issue is the amount of building materials and building rubbish to rear of property which is clearly a safety issue for dogs and small children. Bins full of mouldy food, soiled underwear and a vast amount of flies... Therefore outside space is pretty unusable if you're traveling with children or pets. Inside house is pretty well kitted out but cleaning left a lot to be desired. Previous occupants food remnants in air fryer, dirty, greasy, broken limited utensils in drawers, chopping board covered in mould, sand and dog hair on sofa in kitchen, no terrestrial channels on either TVs, 2 towels left for 2 people for a week.. the list goes on...better properties in the area for a lot less money. That's why this one is so available throughout the year! Would not stay again or recommend. Beautiful area, but this property and lack of customer support spoilt holiday unfortunately.

We had a wonderful time during our holiday at Shroughan, and I'm happy to share our experience.

I appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback, and I'm more than willing to complete the review to help guide future guests and support your ongoing improvements. I look forward to booking another stay with Sykes Cottages in the future. The cottage was ideal for us. The only slight negative was that the rear garden needed to be fully enclosed, which could have been an issue had our dog been more challenging. It was clean and well equipped, with plenty of hot water and modern, comfortable furnishings. We would certainly stay there again should the opportunity arise.

A lovely property kitted out to a very high spec.

In a very peaceful location, yet handy for both Falcarragh and Gortahork. Perfect for recharging the batteries!

Overall the property itself is in good condition and spacious.

However, the listing states an enclosed garden, which there isn't - this was a big request from us for an enclosed garden for the dogs, and the fact that there were plenty of gaps in the perimeter slightly ruined the experience for us as we weren't able to relax with the dogs off lead. Further, there is a lot of debris at the end of the property where current listing photos show a garden and trampoline area - this photo is currently a misrepresentation of the situation. Finally, there are a lot of areas under development on the property land making most outside use of the property unpleasant. Within the property, it is clean and modern. But there is an odd mixture of kitchen wear and furniture for a property that could potentially house 6. I would recommend that the owner take a trip to IKEA and buy kitchen utensils that would support 6 people (e.g. 6 glasses, 6 wine glasses, a large pan, a coffee machine, a peeler, etc.) and also invest in a reasonable sized kitchen table for 5-6 people to sit around. The location of the property is ok, but it is a drive to a village, not a walk. The roads would not be safe to walk down past night. The main reason we opted for the property was an enclosed garden, which it did not have. so taking away that feature, there are other houses better located that you might want to consider.

We have just returned from a lovely seven night stay at this wonderful bungalow.

It is fully equipped with every possible home comfort, truly a home from home. It is set in picturesque countryside but is very close to all amenities and interesting and unspoilt locations. We would not hesitate in recommending Shroughan and hope to return next year. Charles & June

We've just finished a 7 night stay here and wouldn't be more pleased.

on arrival the house was impeccably clean and warm ready for our arrival. everything was perfect from the Temperature, Linen and WiFi speed. Great well equipped kitchen with fresh milk, tea and coffee waiting for us. Outside there are great views of the surrounding mountains, sheep and rolling hills with a dead calm and quiet surrounding. Couldn't have wanted for more and would definitely book again when we return.

5 star all the way lovely home all new cannotfault it had a lovely time and will be back thanks Ivan

Beautiful bungalow in a lovely location,very well appointed throughout with everything we needed.

The owners were helpful as well giving suggestions as to where to visit.I would highly recommend a stay in this lovely property in a tranquil scenic setting
