Fantastic cottage

Jenga Birmingham, England
Review Submitted: February 26, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Having just spent a long weekend at the cottage, I can honestly say that it was a superb place. The cottage is beautifully restored but still has the modern facilities (dishwasher,d.v.d player, Heating!) to make it a comfortable place to relax, after days out exploring.
The cottage is situated in a great location for people who like walking as there is a national park nearby, but its also ideal for people loooking for a secluded sandy beach to chill out on, we visited in Feb, so it wasn't quite the sunbathing weather but the costal areas were pretty breathtaking even at that time of year. The cottage has lots of books about the surrounding area, which is really useful as it gives you some good ideas about what to do whilst there. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone who is looking for a relaxing break away from it all.
Owner's Response: many thanks Jenga, glad you enjoyed you short break. Everyone seems to enjoy playing with the turf fire... and it really is close to something for everyone.

Best beaches in the world!

Fishmilla Devon
Review Submitted: September 29, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Stayed here for a week at the beginning of September. Before we unlocked the door I was warned "look, it might not be like what it looked like on the website", but it was! We weren't too lucky with the weather but still climbed Errigal, caught fish off the rocks (and had them for tea) walked for hours every day on magnificent beaches and every night saw another amazing sunset. We also sat on our backsides in front of the turf fire or round the table in the beautiful has-everything kitchen and slept in cosy beds listening to the rain and wind outside. We had a most relaxing holiday (and am not often given to climbing mountains just cos they're there) in a handsomely designed and equipped cottage and I am looking forward to getting back as soon as possible.

Lovely Donegal base in Falcarragh

Jim from ayrshire Ayrshire
Review Submitted: August 19, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Stayed in this cottage in July and had a very nice time.
Myself my wife and daughter and 2 grandchildren. House was really comfortable and had every facility we needed. Especially enjoyed the turf fire, and although we didn't need it for the heat still lit it most nights for the atmosphere. Well equiped kitchen plenty of towels etc. Even games and books, a real home from home.

Laurel Cottage, Donegal

Aoife Dublin Dublin
Review Submitted: June 25, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We had a wonderful time in Laurel Cottage. We happened to get great weather and took the owner's advice re Marble Hill beach and absolutely fell in love.

The cottage is beautiful – the owners have thought of everything. It is in a location that is within close proximity to so many attractions. We mainly spent our time at the many different beaches in the surrounding area. And of course there is the wild & beautiful Glenveigh National Park. I will most definitely be returning to this beautiful cottage.

The Perfect Taste of Ireland

Chazglen Ashton, MD, USA
Review Submitted: April 30, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Just up from the Falcarragh Strand -- where the sea rolls in regimental perfection and giant perfectly formed waves arc and plunge into foam as they make their long journey to the shore -- Laurel Cottage sits high on a hill. At any time of the year (our group of 5 adults and one baby went in January) the comforts of the house are impervious to anything that might be going on outside since the more than one foot thick walls provide a gentle transition from whatever the weather might throw at you. It is truly the best of both worlds since it offers the antiquity of exposed stone walls, deep soaking tubs and a peat-burning fireplace as well as all the modern conveniences you could possibly imagine... yes, even a flat screen television and DVD player. Whenever we thought we might need something, we found that the house already had it! The town of Falcarragh is wonderful and boasts great pubs, shopping and an open air market where local produce is sold. If you want to feel like you're getting away from it all but still have IT ALL very close by, this is the perfect place. Thank you, Mark, for one of our best holidays!
