Cottage vacation rentals in Ardara, Hillhead

Best Airbnb stay we have had ! Catherine/Kevin were great at communicating all about the check in and they were super flexible. When we arrived they had a care package for us with cookies and wine and a frozen pizza and a bundle of turf The hot tub was as a great addition. 3 minute walk to the local pub with trad music and great food ! This place is a true gem - we are definitely going to come back !

Had a great few days at the cottage despite the bad weather. It was so cosy and relaxing. Will be back again soon.

Grace's house was a real treat! Nestled away in the trees overlooking the river made it feel so private and peaceful. The house itself was so cosy, clean and inviting but had plenty of space and different areas to relax. The grounds were amazing and the kids had a ball discovering the swings, hottub and reading shed. The whole place was magical and we were sad to leave. Grace was very responsive to any communication and made us feel so welcome. The house location was a great base for some of the stunning sights Donegal has to offer and we were very close to many beautiful sandy beaches. This house was the best airbnb we have ever stayed in! We can't wait to come back, thanks so much Grace

This place was absolute heaven! We had four people and two dogs staying and it was plenty of space for us all. The views are absolutely stunning even in the rain. Location is perfect for a quiet get away but plenty of things to do around the area! We went to both local pubs and would definitely recommend paying them a visit! Patrick answered all our questions quickly and nothing was too big of an ask! Will definitely be back again, highly recommend!

Beautifully located lakeside property. Spacious private outside area with hot tub, fire pit with amazing views over the lake. Good layout with good sized living space for 6 people. 3 good sized double rooms & en suite or bathroom next to each. Beds very comfortable. The mezzanine bedroom has screen for privacy & we took portable black out blinds which worked well, however a sleep mask is provided. Well equipped kitchen for self catering & second fridge in the utility room for drinks. Nice bottle of bubbles on arrival. Great host. Super location for exploring with easy access to many beaches & local towns. Great pub close by.

A lovely stay in Mairead and Hugh’s beautiful cottage! The house is utterly gorgeous – comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen and a lovely, cosy, rustic vibe. The interior decor is stunning with lots of thoughtful touches like the giant claw foot bathtub and the big fluffy pillows. The view from the garden is phenomenal and we spent a lovely evening in the hot tub watching the sun go down! Mairead and Hugh were the perfect hosts – helpful when we needed them but never invasive, and the homemade wheaten bread and jam that was waiting for us was a lovely welcoming touch! All in all a perfect stay and we can’t wait to come back some time.

We had such an amazing stay, we didn't want to leave! Perfect location, close to some of the nicest beaches Donegal has to offer. A stone throw into Dungloe town which had plenty of places to eat/drink. We cooked for ourselves in the cottage, all the supplies we needed were provided. We were able to enjoy our dinner outside one of the evenings. The views Hannah's Cottage offered were just so picturesque. The hot tub was ready 24/7, laying up in it was so serene. The rain was never too far away but that didn't stop us getting into it. Laura even had dressing gowns left for us, handy for getting in and out of the hot tub. The house itself was so homely, cosy and warm. The bed was that comfy it was hard to get out of, but the kids put an end to that. Laura was very friendly & helpful. We didn't need to contact her during our stay as she had explained everything so well and lots of wee helpful frames round the house to keep us right. Hightly recommend Hannah's Cottage. We will be back!

What a wonderful property. I couldnt have asked for more. Everything was in working order and the hot tub was amazing. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a secluded and quiet getaway.

The Cosy Cottage was absolutely perfect for our base to explore Donegal. It is very close to several beautiful spots and a short drive to many others. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Donna and her family were wonderful hosts. I would rebook this cottage in the future without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Beautiful cottage. Well presented and had all amenities. Excellent hosts, who left wine and cake on arrival. Idyllic location with beautiful grounds and surrounding location. Excellent communication from Kathleen. We felt right at home and hope to return soon.

This has been our fourth time staying at this beautiful cottage. We as a family feel right at home here, we absolutely love the cottage and the grounds around it. Noreen is very responsive and helpful. The cottage is clean and has everything you need and more for a few days away. If Noreen wil have us then we wil definitely be back again. Home from home.

The location is beautiful, a short drive out of Bun Beag but close enough that you could walk in on a nice morning. Lovely, well presented home. The house is warm and cosy with very comfy beds. There is a beautiful, modern bathroom and there is everything you need to make a meal in the kitchen. A pleasure to stay and would return again in the future. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay and explore the Gaeltacht. Rose Marie is a very helpful and friendly host who was always quick to respond.

I absolutely love the location of the house. My dogs love it too. Perfect place to relax with lovely views. This was our second year to stay and will definitely be back again. Everything you need Paivi has thought of it 🤗

We loved our stay! The house is very well equipped with everything we needed to feel comfortable. The view is absolutely beautiful and the location is great. The host was very kind and always responded promptly to our messages. We were very satisfied with the experience and would definitely recommend it!

We had an amazing stay at Harben Cottage. The view is beautiful and Nancys pub in the local village has lovely food and pints of Guinness. The cottage itself is very clean, cosy and homely. There is sticks and turf for the stove which you can relax in front of and the bed is extremely comfortable! The spring tap water is so refreshing we could’ve brought a bucket of it with us! 10/10 stay highly recommended ☺️

A fantastic stay at Rosies Cottage for my whole family & our dog. We felt instantly at home & the cottage was super clean & so homely. Made even better by wonderful hosts always happy to help with any local information etc. Close to some beautiful attractions without feeling to touristy. Would definitely recommend & we will mostly certainly go back again.

Absolutely a home from home. I will always choose TJ’s for our future stays. Extra touches, open fire and comfy bed - what more could you want.

Laura’s house was warm and modern something that’s important for Christmas stays. House had everything and was well decorated for Christmas which was nice especially for my own daughter. Laura was a pleasant host to communicate with and I would have no hesitation recommending her property. Thanks Laura!

The stay in Veronica's accommodation was very cosy. We immediately felt at home. Veronica was easy to contact and even brought us another pillow. Thank you for the good time!

Dorothy’s place was in a great location for us visiting family for a reunion in Enniskillin. Dorothy was flexible with our arrival and communication was friendly and clear. She welcomed us and provided a few details and to tell us she was next door if we needed anything. We never needed a thing and didn’t see her again until checkout but I left comfortable knowing she was close by. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 (parents and 3 kids ages 23, 20 and 18) to have space. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms and kitchen clean and had everything we needed. The outdoor space is beautiful with all the flowers and 2 picnic tables and chairs. We were lucky to get some beautiful weather during our stay to enjoy the lovely views from the house. Dorothy provided many pamphlets of local activities — we hiked the Stairway to Heaven (beautiful but it lives up to its name with a lot of stairs) and some played a round of golf at the Faldo course at Lough Erne. Overall a beautiful few days.

We loved our month long stay in the Master's Cottage. Warm and cosy but nice light during the day. Simply equipped but we had everything we needed. We were able to do some work (good WiFi). The location was peaceful and close to so many beautiful places.

We had a great time during our stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The weather was beautiful and sunny, which made everything even more enjoyable. The location is perfect—very easily accessible and convenient for getting around. Communication with the host was smooth, and everything went super smoothly from check-in to check-out. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Great stay. Ideal location. Wonderful base for walks, beaches and the mountains. Lovely accommodation, plenty space, comfy, beaurtifully clean and lovely welcome pack.

It’s the second time that we stay in this cottage, it is so peaceful and quiet. The cottage has everything that you need and more, it feels like home. We loved it here and spent the days discovering the stunning area and then coming home to a cozy place. We will definitely come back!
