Such a beautiful home in a truly stunning location
We had a wonderful stay at Corncrake Cottage. The house is stunning and very clean. Communication with Annemarie was great and she messaged us once we were there to check that we were happy. The view is stunning and the cottage is just a few minutes drive from Dunfanaghy. Absolutely nothing to fault and I really hope to be able to stay again.

Beautiful Irish cottage with stunning views
We had a wonderful week at Corncrake cottage. The property is in a fantastic location with stunning views and made for an excellent holiday property for our family (4 adults and 3 children). The cottage is comfortable, warm and well equipped. Dunfanaghy is a fantastic location for a Donegal adventure. Highly recommended!

We fell in love with Corncrake Cottage the moment we arrived! I only hoped it was as gorgeous as it looked from the website photos, and infact, it was better. The cottage is decorated and furnished in a way that makes you feel so relaxed and at home and the views from almost every window are breathtaking. The lovely touches such as the bottle of wine, wood for the fire, binoculars, excellent sound system, blue-ray player and discs, all made for a perfect stay. I really can't recommend Corncrake Cottage enough and only hope it's not too long before we get to stay there again. 10/10!!! . I really cannot recommend Corncrake Cottage enough and

The perfect place to stay
I spent a week in this wonderful cottage near Dunfanaghy with my wife and another couple. The house is furnished excellently and creates an atmosphere which makes you feel at home immediately. When we arrived we found a fridge full of everything we needed for our breakfast and two bottles of very good wine and everything was complimentary.The view from the house is breathtaking and I caught myself several times standing at one of the windows and looking at the scenery. The nearest pub, the village and supermarket are only two km away. In addition to this realy comfortable cottage the area around Dunfanaghy is one of the nicest places on earth for me but I have to admit that Ireland is one of my favourite holiday destinations. I can really recommend this place to everybody who looks for an extraordinary accomodation in an absolutely unique area. Apart from all that Annemarie is so helpful with anything you need. Thank you for the wonderful time we could spend in your cottage. Richard, Austria
