"The Owl Cottage was just as magical and cozy as listed in VRBO. Communication with Anne was great. I would highly recommend it to my friends and family."

"A great find, we stayed here for two nights. It looks quite quirky with lots of character, and interesting features in the site. We stayed in the B&B and the included continental breakfast was great. Our bed was very comfortable. There's a lounge for B&B guests which we made use of for a while each evening. We were made to feel very welcome."

"The cottage was perfect, in a gorgeous area of wild Donegal. Easy walk to a couple of small beaches. Nice shop and pub a few minutes car ride away. The house was cozy and clean, with everything we needed. Anne had let us know that there was a sudden problem with the central heat, and the work needed to be done to fix it would have had the plumber there during our stay, and she didn’t want us bothered. The house was warm enough, and we made a fire in the evenings in the wood stove. Anne actually refunded us a discount for the inconvenience. Not necessary (it was mild temps), but a generous gesture from a good host. Would return in a heartbeat if in the area"

"Bay view. We stayed at this house at the end of August 2025. The pictures online are accurate and the house is both large and well situated but slightly dated. Note that there is also a smaller rental property at the back of an agricultural shed at the back of the property. This is owned and managed by the proprietor but is not signposted so may lead to confusion. We had one European renter actually walk into our house during our stay asking for directions and then aggressively implying that they were also staying in our rented house. It gave my wife quite the fright and the doors stayed locked thereafter.Apart from that, what you will gain are fantastic views and lovely local trails beside the sea. The house is situated right in front of a small beach and boat pier. When we were there, a sauna and hot tub were available on the pier. Each day, lots of people came down to swim at the little harbour and at weekends, quite a few people were camping along the road, although this didn’t cause any issues. In the local town, Derrybeg, you can find 2 supermarkets , Sean Og’s pub and restaurant along with several coffee shops, cafes and take out options. Lovely location for a relaxing break but just be careful if others are staying in the small apartment. I would suggest that direction signs for this apartment could be added to avoid confusion."
