“Want to give zero stars.”

Place was filthy. Sofa and arm chair broken. Tiles hanging off bathroom wall and eventually fell off. Flooring had huge gaps. Fridge freezer all covered in rust. Electrics hanging off the wall. I have numerous photos I am happy to submit. My parents in their 80s would not met me complain until home for fear of being thrown out as hotel and turns only b and b were fully booked. Mr Devenny must be blind if he thinks this is an acceptable accommodation to charge 1200 euro for. Feel very annoyed.

“Cosy traditional Irish home”

“The owner was very nice and extremely helpful The cottage itself was also really nice, but if there were more than the 2 of us the sitting room would feel cramped.”

It could actually only seat 4, so we were fine. More could have been made of the outside area.

“We met Pat at the property he quickly showed us around.”

On having a proper look we were not impressed by the cleanliness or lack of. There is only seating for 4 in the lounge which is bizarre for a 6 berth cottage. As for the spacious garden and bbq, no garden furniture and a rusty bbq. As a family who had taken our dad to Ireland to revisit we were very upset and disappointed, so much so that we only stayed 2 nights and had to pay for another cottage elsewhere.

“The property itself was ok but lacked a homely touch.”

The heavy lounge furniture was too big for the room - blocking off doors and peat burner so we had to continually move it around - not an easy task. Just a thought - the lounge needs coffee table/s. The only space to sit in the open was a big disappointment. There was a rusty old bq and the “garden” wasn’t in good shape at all. We definatly would not return.

“Excellent location, close to Lidl and Aldi, approx 15 min walk from the centre.”

The house is well equipped, just a few metres away from the riverside walk, which we enjoyed immensly. Great woodburning stove too, very warm house. The only complaint I'd have is the level of cleanliness. The floors need mopping and spider webs need to be removed. Other than that, it's a great spot.

“Lovely cottage.”

We were met by the owner who had put on a lovely fire for us arriving. Close to Lidl and Aldi for shopping, only a 10 minute walk and your in the centre.

“Well-equipped house that suited us very well, as it was very convenient for the supermarket and not far from the main town.”

The owner promptly sorted the key delivery and helped us with our stay. The single beds in one room were a bit too soft and uncomfortable but we managed. Lovely peat fire in the living room.

Pat was a lovely host.

“We were told no wi fi but there is wi fi so that's a plus, as for the tv and amount of channels you can get very poor.”

“Had trouble getting warm water and owner wasn't much help.”

Some bedside lights not working. Other than that,it was a nice cottage close to town centre.

We would definitely stay there again in the future.

Jennifer September 2014

“The cottage was in an excellent position close to shops and yet all roads south and north were very accessible.”

The owner is a very nice man who was very helpful over TV queries one evening ( arriving within minutes of our phone call) AND taught my husband how to make and keep in a peat and log fire in his excellent stove- my husband thought that great fun! The cottage was well equipped with tourist maps and literature. There were also very good white goods provision and good electric stove!

Anne Marie December 2013

“Being able to relax in comfort as central heating meant we could keep warm.”

Didn't have to rush down for breakfast which you do in a hotel and was handy for our requirements as family live locally.

- Anne Marie, December 2013
Hilary May 2013

“The cottage was lovely, clean, and fresh.”

Items provided in the cottage went well beyond the minimum, so it felt like a home from home. It was handy for the town and for lots of places round about. There were lots of brochures provided to suggest places to go. Highly recommended!

- Hilary, May 2013
Michael May 2013

“All in all this cottage exceeded any expectation I had.”

The location is key, close enough to comfortably walk to the town yet a secluded back garden gives the feeling of being in a more remote location. The owner is personable and precise. I cant imagine staying in a hotel in Donegal again with accommodations like this at very reasonable price. I look forward to returning to Carnmore Cottage. Regards, Mike McCready.

“The cottage was extremely warm and very homely.”

The owner was a real gentleman.
