We stayed at the Town Cottage for a week (consisting of the last week in August 2017). The property was easy to find as it is located on the one of the main streets in Donegal Town. My first impressions of the property on the outside where not good. The grass to the side of the house was overgrown to about 1.5 feet in height. There was paint peeling off the wall on the front and side of the house and discoloration on the side of the house. Entrance doors are located at the front of the cottage and the side. On entering the house, you arrive into the main front room which is the primary photo listed. It is a lovely room, well decked out with 2 sofas, a smaller chair and a TV. There was broadband provided free with a strong WIFI connection. However, there was immediately a damp/dew smell detectable. Proceeding through you go through the main hall into the Kitchen - which is also well done and looks to be new. All amenities needed are available (Fridge, Cooker, Microwave, Dishwasher and Washing Machine). However, as you go into the kitchen, in the top right corner and along the ceiling - you can see mold. The issue overall and why the 2 stars out of 5 stars is the Dampness/Smell/Mold. In summary --> Positives - 1. Host - a nice gentleman - communicative, responded promptly to texts and emails. Was responsive to my concerns and attempted to address them. 2. Location - the house is located a few minutes walk from the main town - access to various restaurants/diners/shops/hotels/etc. Couldn't get a better location. 3. Cleanliness - the house was completely clean with fresh linen/towels/bedding in each and every room. Negatives 1. Odour - this was my primary issue. The Dampness which is evident has caused a terrible odour throughout the house. We fixed this (as best we could) by placing 5 Plug-in the Wall Air fresheners at full power in different areas of the house (Front room, Hall, Kitchen and 2 of the bedrooms). We also left the windows open when we were in the house. 2. Damp - the house is suffering from severe dampness. Issue needs to be resolved. Has caused visible mold to appear in various locations (1. on wall behind side locker in main bedroom, 2. In the kitchen on the wall and ceiling and 3. in the bathroom and en-suite). 3. Presentation - as stated, the side garden was overgrown (Host addressed this as land is not his and no control), paint was peeling off walls, yellow staining, overgrown backgarden....it's run down and needs renovation. I am sorry to have to leave a bad review but in all consciousness could not recommend the cottage as a place to stay. My concerns were brought up with the host who is looking to renovate when time permits. On a final note - it is unfortunate that Airbnb do NOT allow users/visitors to upload...
