    The cottage is ideally located - half way between the town of Dungloe and the strand at Maghery. The interior is nicely decorated, spotless and in fine condition and well equipped with everything you might require. The view from the picture window is superb particularly the sunsets over Aranmore. Enjoying breakfast while looking out of the this window was also a bonus. Natasha, Claire and the team were on hand via text message if I needed anything. Returning to the cottage each evening was not just having a roof overnight but was a place for myself and my two dogs to relax and wind down.

    Absolutely wonderful place! The cottage is immaculate, comfortable, well stocked and with a picture postcard view. We loved every second of our stay and would highly recommend this rental. Claire, the property manager, was just delightful, she could not have been kinder or more helpful. We would definitely stay here again, just a beautiful place and a wonderful stay.

    Absolutley stunning house. Ideal for a family with Pets. We had 4 short days at the house and wish we had more. The morning sunrise on tbe hils and the sunset over the saltpans is something spectacular. The house is perfect in every way for those looking a tranquel getaway.

    From the moment we arrived we knew we had picked the perfect spot. The location, the views, the house…everything was picture perfect. Even on the wet and stormy days we were comfortable and cosy. We had everything we needed, including the gorgeous welcome table of tea, scones and fresh flowers. Online photos and information were all spot on - would highly recommend this property as the perfect base for seeing all Donegal has to offer.

    We stayed in this beautiful cottage for close to a month and loved every minute. It was a perfect location to further explore county Donegal in all directions. Great walks and discoveries around beautiful Maghery beach nearby as well. Dungloe was a wonderful town with warm and friendly people and plenty of pubs and shopping to meet our needs. We were blessed with sunny weather for almost the whole time and sounds of birds singing, including a cuckoo bird. Looking out the picture window at the changing tide, view of Arranmore island, and gorgeous sunsets added to the joys of staying at the Sea House. Hope to return!

    What a beautiful cottage and stunning location with views that inspire awe! Private, quiet and idyllic completely updated and spotless Irish cottage. Two fireplaces, comfy beds, spacious rooms and lovingly designed and decorated. Eat in or head into Dungloe about a mile away. A fantastic place to explore Donegal. I will most definitely return here.
