The apartment was comfortable and perfect for me and my MIL who I traveled with. Great views, comfortable couch and beds. Just be aware there is no where to eat in town. The great part is everything is just a quick drive away! The two pubs in town (Mac's and MacIntyre's) are extremely fun and great places to end a great day! I would come back and stay again!

Had a short break there. Good central place for touring. Lovely views at the back, easy parking. Comfortable place. Steep stairs to upper flat so not good for those with mobility issues. Ground floor flat would be fine.

I don't consider the steps to be steep and nobody has mentioned this before, plus there is a handrail. See photo on listing of entrance. Paula is absolutely correct that the Garden Apartment is more suited for those with mobility issues, if advised in advance of course we would suggest that option.

Quarantine stay

The property is comfortable, has plenty of space, and the amenities, such as washer and dryer, WiFi, and heater all worked great. The view is lovely and there are numerous walks nearby. Only the bathroom and kitchen needed a bit of attention to put us at ease. Overall it’s a great place to stay and we would stay there again.

Donegal Vacation

The Snug was absolutely perfect as a home base to see all of Donegal’s sights. My wife and I absolutely loved The Slieve League and St John’s Point. Sheila was fantastic in answering all of my questions and making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The little corner market only steps away was a lifesaver in regards to getting little things we forgot to pack. And if you stay in The Snug, make sure you make your way to Donegal town and eat at The Olde Castle Bar and Restaurant - they had the absolute best venison and seafood pies.

We loved The Snug. Stayed June 26-27. Nice sea views ; quiet, relaxing , well stocked ( byo toiletries) apartment with a washer dryer and dishwasher onsite. Great location - to visit Donegal, Killybegs( eat at the Marina Cafe) and to Slieve League Cliffs. Highly recommend. Grocery store in nearby Killybegs, the seaside fishing town.

Rustikal, zweckmäßig- freundlich aber eher geringer Standard

Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Die Ferienwohnung ist groß, hat aber ihre besten Tage hinter sich. Das Bad entspricht nicht dem deutschen Standard, die Küche ist groß und man findet alles, was man benötigt, allerdings hier und da auch ein wenig schmuddelig. Die Betten waren bequem. Die Wohnung liegt an der Durchfahrtsstraße des Ortes. Das Schlafzimmer nach hinten raus war sehr ruhig, das vordere durch den Straßenverkehr recht laut. Dunkineely liegt zwischen Donegal und Killybegs - beide Orte sind mit dem Auto in 15 Minuten zu erreichen. Im Ort selbst gibt es nur einen Minimarkt.

Ein idealer Ort zum Ferien machen

Die Ferienwohnung bietet alles, was man braucht zum entspannen. Die Informationen zur Anreise kamen sehr schnell nach der Buchung und waren sehr Präzise. Die Räume sind gemütlich und die Aussicht haben wir jeden Tag genossen. Der Parkplatz auf dem Hof ist seht praktisch, es gibt einen Laden und Bars in ein paar schritten Entfernung. Schon die nähere Umgebung lohnt der Erkundung und auch als Ausgangspunkt für die weitere Umgebung ist die Lage prima. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen.

About the host

Hosted by Sheila McDermott

Host profile image
We are a family of 4, living on a working farm in Sligo.
We have been happily involved in the Self Catering business since 2006.(see sheilasplaces.com). In 2012 we bought and renovated the property now called The Snug in Dunkineely, South Donegal, for our own use and also as a Holiday Let.
Each of our properties are in wonderful coastal locations directly on the Wild Atlantic Way.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in November 2011 because we love the area and believe that Dunkineely is a wonderful scenic location with so many options on the doorstep.

One particular treat for us is being able to walk to a choice of 3 decent pubs, some with regular entertainment. There is a great atmosphere in the pubs in the village and everybody is just so friendly. As one of our guests reported, "they get to know you first!"

What makes this property unique

The house is in a super location, it feels quiet and secluded yet is just tucked in snugly off the main street.

We have done a big renovation on the house, with two completely separate units ( upstairs or downstairs), each equally comfortable.

We have a little Yorkshire Terrier and he loves our outings to The Snug because we can close the gate and let him roam freely in the garden.
