Room with a View

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.

A special place to stay

We had a great week in this wonderful holiday cottage. We could easily have spent the whole week enjoying the view and surroundings but did venture out to see the rest of Donegal. Recommend this cottage tk anyone wanting peace and quiet surrounded by nature.

Magical and charming

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.

Wonderful memories from an amazing cottage!

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!

Wonderful cottage

We just loved the Sea House! It was so cosy & warm & had everything you could need to be comfortable. It was the best place to welcome in the new Year. The decor is beautifully thought out & has a real seaside feel. Claire and Natasha were excellent hosts & I will most certainly return as soon as I can! The Sea House is located in the most beautiful area with stunning scenery, would highly recommend!

Cozy retreat

We enjoyed our stay so much. The house is so cozy and inviting with a well equipped kitchen. Watching the seals each day just down the hill was a highlight! We were greeted when we arrived by Claire with tea, fresh scones and flowers. On this trip we stayed on a Georgian estate, and a castle but we felt the most comfortable and at home here.

2 months of enjoyment

The cottage is 100% as advertised. It is an old property completely redone with a design of retaining its vintage. The location is semi remote - nice privacy but easy access to town. A long term stay such as mine would be difficult for more than 3 or 4 people.

Relaxing stay in idyllic location.

The Sea House is a beautiful,cosy cottage situated between Dungloe and Maghery . The cottage is tastefully decorated with a nautical theme and is immaculately presented. The large picture window looks out to the sea, the islands, the mountains and outside the higher decking provides spectacular views of the area. The nearby beach at Maghery is a perfect strand for walks and there are longer walks around Maghery where you can take in the magnificent scenery . Dungloe is close for shopping and there is also a River Walk which provides an easy walk through a magical fairyland and along the river. After a day’s exploring,the Sea House is a perfect place to return to and watch the sun setting over Arranmore island .

The Sea House is perfect

The 3 of us, plus our small dog had a brilliant time staying at this spotless, bright, cosy home. It had everything we needed plus a roaring peat fire which my hubby lit at night. The view from the large picture window in the kitchen is beautiful. The location is so peaceful and you can see the light and weather change before your eyes. We made breakfast each day before setting off on our trips and ate out in the evenings after exploring the beautiful beaches and surrounding towns. We were so lucky as it was cold, dry, bright and sunny during our stay. The wifi is very good. The decor just lovely and so homely. Dungloe is 5 mins drive away with plenty of local shops as well as Lidl, Aldi and Supervalu. We ate in the Bridge Inn and Mcaffertys and both were really good. I would highly recommend a stay at the Sea House to recharge your batteries.

Tolles Haus mit super Ausblick

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt (vier Nächte) mit fantastischen Blick! Ich hätte noch Wochen am Fenster im Esszimmer sitzen können. Direkt unten am Wasser haben wir fangfrische Austern und Miesmuscheln günstig gekauft. Die Küchenausstattung war leider wie häufig in anderen Ferienhäusern etwas zusammengewürfelt, zwei neue Pfannen wären super. Wir haben mit gekauften Holz häufig geheizt, die Heizung/das Warmwasser hatte nur vier Booster über den Sommer ganzen Tag. Dennoch würden wir jederzeit wiederkommen!

What a Gem

Excellent 3 night stay in this beautifully and tastefully renovated cottage. The pictures do not do it justice. Amazing views and everything that you would need. It's more than a home from home. Very comfortable and our 14 and 11 year old and wee dog also loved it. We will hopefully be back again in the future. Thanks 😊
