“Theres nothing Wee about Wee Andys!”

! We had such a lovely stay here and the house had everything we needed and more! Beautifully decorated, with great tech and really comfy beds! The welcome groceries were very much appreciated too. We would definitely book again and would highly recommend a stay here, without hesitation!

“This was our second stay at Wee Andy's and we can wholeheartedly recommend it.”

The property has been well designed to offer excellent family accommodation and, in our case, it is one of the best properties we have come across for our daughter who is a wheelchair user - including level access, a wet room and 'walk-in' wardrobe. We certainly hope to be back again soon.

“The house was airy and comfortable to stay in.”

The property was well equipped with everything that was needed. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was good quality. The house is situated perfect for exploring beautiful Buncrana and surrounding Inishowen. Would highly recommend the house.

“Sometimes, the moment you book a stay and long before you arrive at the property, you know things are going to be OK and you are not going to have to spend time and money on solicitors, small claims courts, Section 75 claims, etc.”

This was certainly one of those happy times. The communication, from the beginning was excellent, informative and friendly. On arrival, Rory was already waiting for us. He took time to show us around the property, explained how things worked and pointed out places to visits. The property was immaculate, super clean, well furnished, maintained and loved by Cathy and Rory who are obviously proud of their home and what they have to offer. My old man used to say,… to milk a cow, you have to first make the all important lifelong commitments to love and care for it and also respect everyone who comes to say hello to the cow and buy the milk. Our welcome gifts were the most generous we have ever received in our many years of renting holiday homes in UK and Europe. Everything in the property worked as it should, was of good quality and uncomplicated. Cathy and Rory were available when and if required but not intrusive. Though we live in UK, Ireland is our real home and we are familiar with things. So, to be left alone to get on and enjoy our stay was something we truly appreciated. Thank you Cathy and Rory. We will be back.

Leah August 2023

“This is home from home.”

Actually, it was cleaner and better equipped than my own home. Absolutely immaculate and so well equipped. Cream cakes and everything you need to make a tea or coffee on arrival. Extremely well managed by helpful and friendly locals and well situated to explore the whole of the county and beyond. I miss the bed - it was so comfortable!

- Leah, August 2023
Olive August 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay in Wee Andys.”

The house was clean and comfortable with top quality appliances. The welcome pack was an added touch. Rory was very helpful with advice on the local area. We would have no hesitation in recommending the house to anyone considering visiting the area.

Maria July 2023

“We had a fabulous family holiday in 'Wee Andy's' in July 2023.”

The house was easy to find and there was lots of delicious goodies to welcome us when we arrived. The house is immaculate, comfortable and has everything you could need. The grounds are perfect for relaxing in the sun between trips. The house is a great base for trips to the many beautiful beaches, waterfalls, fishing and pier jumping. The ferry from Buncrana to Rathmullan is particularly spectacular on a good day. Our hosts Cathy and Rory were extremely welcoming and always on hand to give advice or help in anyway. We forgot one of the kid's life jackets and In no time at all, Rory had delivered one to the door. Thanks Cathy and Rory for being fabulous hosts. We will look forward to visiting 'Wee Andy's' again soon!!

“We found the property to be of a very high standard.”

Friendly and welcoming owner. Communication was very good. Lovely generous welcome pack.

- Robert, May 2023
Heather May 2023

“This is an immaculate cottage maintained to a superb standard.”

We met the owner, who explained how everything worked and we had a lovely welcome pack to set us up. Whilst this is not advertised as an accessible cottage, one bathroom has a disabled toilet and shower chair which was of great benefit to us. The outside space has been very well done and the seating provides views over the countryside. Nothing was too much trouble, we had great communication from the owners who even helped us when we couldn’t find the cottage due to our lack of understanding the directions. This cottage is highly recommended for a visit to county Donegal.

- Heather, May 2023
Shane May 2023

“Fantastic stay at Wee Andy's.”

Rory and Cathy were fantastic hosts. The house was perfect, spotless when we arrived with a lovely basket of bread, milk, scones and butter. We had young children with us and were provided with a cot and highchair. Excellent location for exploring the whole inishowen peninsula and beyond and we would highly recommend staying here.

- Shane, May 2023
Harold April 2023

“We had a very enjoyable stay in Wee Andy's, the house was beautiful and the owners had supplied everything you could need.”

On arrival they had left milk, bread etc which was a lovely touch. As well as being very well equipped it was really clean and comfortable. We would not hesitate to return or recommend to others.

- Harold, April 2023
Peter April 2023

“The property is excellent - clean, comfortable with every possible thing available.”

Rory met us at the start and end (and while dog walking!) and was very helpful with some pointers about the best of the area. The area has some stunning scenery and is easy to get to from Buncrana/Slavery.

- Peter, April 2023
Sean February 2023

“We had a Great holiday for four in February 2023 in Wee Andy’s in Buncrana in a fantastic house five minutes from Lough Swilly, where we donned our wetsuits and braved the sea, enjoyed exquisite sunsets in Ned’s Fort, explored the thought-provoking and sobering war / wildlife museum in Fort Drunree, walked, ran, collected beautiful shells and stones on the several local beaches, all nearby, got to enjoy living in a beautiful, spacious, tastefully-appointed house, owned by very friendly, genuine, helpful Donegal hosts, Cathy and Rory.”

Perfection.

- Sean, February 2023
Nicola December 2022

“This was our second stay at Wee Andy’s and I’m sure we will return again because it is excellent!”

The accommodation is very spacious and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. We arrived late and found fresh scones, biscuits, milk and other essentials ready for us which made for a warm welcome. Great hosts, location and holiday - thank you!

- Nicola, December 2022
Fionnuala October 2022

“In thirty year’s of booking self catering accommodation for family holidays, ‘Wee Andy’s’ has got to be up there as one of the best we’ve seen.”

The cottage provided a warm, (spectacularly) clean, comfortable base to return to while visiting Derry and Inishowen in the autumnal weather. There is space to relax, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and two shower rooms. Cathy and Rory were warm, welcoming, helpful and un-intrusive hosts who had thought of everything including a welcome of tea/coffee, milk and locally made bread and cakes. We would definitely book again if we return.

- Fionnuala, October 2022
Helen July 2022

“I cannot speak highly enough about our stay at Wee Andy's.”

Cathy and Rory were the perfect hosts - they had thought about just about everything we could possibly want during our stay and made sure we knew they were available should we need anything else. They provided a welcome pack of baked goods and wine; very unexpected but a lovely touch. The house itself is modern, immaculately clean and has great facilities - we cooked many meals when we were there and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. There was unlimited hot water and the heating was very effective. The beds were very comfortable, with pristine white bedlinen and lots of lovely plump pillows on every bed - a refreshing change from many rental houses. One of our party had limited mobility so everything on one level, and a modern wetroom, was just perfect for us. Multiple parking spaces provided just outside the front door so loading and unloading cars was as painless as possible. Our party ranged from teens to 50s and everyone loved the house and fully intend to visit again if at all possible. Thanks to Cathy and Rory for providing such great facilities and making us so welcome; just the right balance of contact/leaving us to our own devices. A beautiful house in a beautiful area.

- Helen, July 2022
Peter July 2022

“The property was simply delightful and situated in a beautiful place with very little road noise.”

It had absolutely everything we needed. It was clean, spacious, modern, furnished beautifully and we were very comfortable there during all of our stay. On arrival we received a warm welcome from the owner who showed us round and made us feel at home. Would definitely recommend.

- Peter, July 2022
C May 2022

“Wee Andy's is the best cottage we have ever been too.”

Immaculately fitted out with every modern appliance you would ever need. Cath and Rory, our hosts, was ever so helpful and informative. Telling us about Kinsella’s gourmet street food van less than half a mile from the cottage and then about an Irish music concert, both which we would have not discovered by ourselves.

“Wee Andy’s provided a fantastic base for our holiday in Ireland.”

The house is beautifully furnished and very spacious. It’s also lovely and warm and we felt very welcome as Cathy and Rory left us some delicious items from a local bakery along with fresh milk. Beautiful walks are close by at Swan Park and the shore front along with plenty of cafes and restaurants. The house is a great base for exploring Inishowen and the county of Donegal. Wee Andy’s also has great amenities - several temperature controls for different areas of the house, wi-fi, movie/sports channels, washing machine, tumble dryer (very handy for us). Thank you for a fantastic stay. We hope to return!

“Wee Andy's is a well designed, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean holiday cottage, very well equipped with every modern convenience and is wheelchair friendly.”

It is situated close to the eastern shore of Lough Swilly and provides easy access to the Inishowen Peninsula and other parts of eastern, northern and central Donegal. We also received a very warm welcome from the owners, Cathy and Rory, and the cottage met our needs in every respect, including those of our daughter who is a wheelchair user. We would have no hesitation in recommending Wee Andy's.

“Absolutely beautiful holiday home.”

Lovely helpful hosts.Most luxurious holiday home I have stayed in. Everything is top class. The kitchen is top of the range. Bedrooms also top of the range . Beautiful comfortable sitting room with a great big flat screen TV with endless channels. Movies .Everything. You name it . This TV has it. I would highly recommend this holiday home.The attention to detail is just amazing. I loved going to bed in the Master Bedroom. The beautiful white bedclothes. The gorgeous soft fluffy towels. One of the bedrooms is amazingly suited for wheelchair users with massive open shower and even a fold up chair in the shower. I could go on and on. Suffice to say that this holiday is akin to a five star hotel. You couldn’t meet more pleasant helpful hosts. I would highly recommend this beautiful holiday home.

The property

Buncrana 1.3 miles.

Tucked away in Slavary, a stone's throw from the vibrant town of Buncrana on the Inishowen Peninsula, rests this charming single-storey cottage, Wee Andy's.

Perfectly positioned to explore both the coast on the Wild Atlantic Way and country of Ireland, Wee Andy's is the idyllic base for your next group adventure.

A spacious private driveway greets you upon arrival, leading you along the pathway to this lovely dwelling, beautifully-decorated with a contemporary exterior, inviting you to kick off your shoes and discover the delights that lie indoors.

Stepping into the property, you're welcomed into a stylish sitting room, fit with modern furnishings, inviting you to put your feet up and unwind for a moment of peace with a seat in front of the television.

Continuing through, enter into the immaculate kitchen where you can find all the necessary essentials for your stay, including a handy washing machine and dryer to refresh your wardrobe after an action-packed day.

Cook up a storm and gather your loved ones around the intimate dining table to serve your culinary delights, or if you're lucky enough to experience the warmer weather, head outside for a spot of alfresco dining on the patio, offering a lovely spot to soak in the evening sun.

As the day draws to a close, retire to one of the three thoughtfully laid out bedrooms to rest your head, choosing between a spacious king-size with en-suite shower room, a family room with a super king-size double and a single with an en-suite shower room and a twin, perfect for larger groups!

After a fun-filled day, take a break from doing the cooking with a short stroll into the heart of Buncrana, boasting a fantastic selection of eateries to suit all tastes, including quaint cafes and delicious restaurants, and end the day in Irish tradition with a pint of Guiness and some good craic at O'Flaherty's Bar.

Take the scenic walking route along the Amazing Grace Walk toward the viewing platform, providing panoramic views across the stunning waters of Lough Swilly, or if that's not your thing, discover the fascinating art on display at The Northern Light Gallery & Studio.

Spend a fun-filled day at the nearby Lisfannon Beach, basking in the sun from the delightful golden sand that decorates the front, or tackle the waves with a session of surfing.

Further afield is the picturesque landscape of Glenveagh National Park, stretching over 16,000 acres of stunning scenery, offering a great selection of walking and cycling routes, passing lakes, mountains and woodland, with something to suit all abilities.

Whether you're looking for adventure or to unwind, choose Wee Andy's as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.
