Sigrid and John welcomed us into their sweet cottage with open arms and joyful smiles. We were so grateful for their kindness and hospitality. Sigrid and John live in the house next door. You have the entire cottage to yourself (very private), but if anything comes up, they are right there to help if needed. We really loved getting to know both of them.
Both Sigrid and John were super responsive when I first reached out about booking their place and all the way through our entire stay. If we had any questions, we received a very quick and kind response right back.
The cottage is adorable. The pictures are very accurate, but you have to see it for yourself to really feel the charm and love of this place! :) It is so warm and cozy. The living room is so comfy and the fireplace makes the place feel incredibly warm. Sigrid and John always made sure we had plenty of wood and thing for us to make a fire every day/night.
The place is so charming. The cottage is so sweet and decorated so well. Every room was nice and clean. We felt right at home.
The bedroom is really private and cozy. The bed was very comfortable.
The bathroom and kitchen had everything you need including a washer AND a dryer!!! :) A sweet bonus, especially for us since we were traveling a lot and needed to do laundry!
The back yard/patio area is so great. A perfect place to sit in the sun and enjoy the beautiful views of country farm fields.
Street parking directly out the front door was not a problem. There was always plenty of space to park.
The location is great. The little town where the cottage is located is in the middle of the beautiful countryside, but right on the main road to/from both Letterkenny and Derry (two of the larger towns/cities in the area). We highly recommend doing all your shopping, eating out, exploring ect. in Derry if you're looking for a nearby city/town to hang out in. Derry has a lot more to offer.
Even though you're on a main road, it doesn't feel busy or loud. Our entire stay was so peaceful and quiet. You feel very private and safe. We took a long walk through the countryside from right outside the door. It was perfect.
We were so grateful for Sigrid and John's sweet support and care. We would definitely stay at their cottage again, and we definitely and HIGHLY recommend their cottage to anyone looking for somewhere in the Irish countryside to stay.
Thank you Sigrid and John!!! :)
