We had a lovely stay at Raffaella's cottage. It is really so cozy and well renovated, it feels like an old cottage but has all the modern amenities you need. The shower is soooo nice! The garden gets a gorgeous sun in the morning and is great for kids to run around. Beds were quite comfortable and it was so useful traveling as a family to have access to a washer. We didn't have trouble finding the place with the EIR Code and yes you do need a good car to get down, we mostly used the car park, but loaded our car at the house the last day and the SUV made it up, but I don't know if a sedan would do as well. We enjoyed the fireplace, the location is close to several grocery stores in Dungloe and there's several beautiful beaches nearby. One is a large bay that has a huge tide that leaves it mostly just sand, but makes for a lovely walk. You can technically walk to this beach, just note it means walking a short bit on a curvy Irish road. But 2 min driving in the opposite direction, a left onto the Main Street and a right after the schools takes you to 2 beautiful secluded beaches that are great for a day at the beach for sunning and bathing (if you're brave!). The house is really in this hidden spot, it's a great place to stay and I'd highly recommend it. Raffaella and Kathleen were very responsive and helpful.
