Cottage rentals with a hot tub

John the mills cottage spa ,HOT TUB private beach
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 !

Hughie Anne's Thatched Cottage
Our first visit to Dungloe. As a family of 5 with 3 small children we absolutely loved our stayed at Hughie Annes.. our only regret was that we didn't stay for longer. we will definitely be back!

The Donegal Lakehouse
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.

The Red Bridge Cottage
Clean, comfortable place with friendly and responsive hosts. I would stay there again.

Hannah's Cottage, Dungloe
This cottage is just beautiful with a stylish modern finish. Really comfy beds and spotlessly clean throughout. We had all necessary amenities and more. The location was just breathtaking. The pictures are great but it's even more spectacular in real life. The hot tub was a great addition and just elevated the whole experience. Laura the host has went above and beyond to think of everything to help you on your stay. Helpful clear instructions in little cute frames throughout the property. Laura has also compiled a really detailed and up to date folder on what is available in the area. There were some great tips about local eateries which we tried and were not disappointed!! We loved our stay and cannot wait yo come back to this beautiful relaxing gem. Excellent host!! Outstanding.

Luxury Lakeside Cottage with Hot Tub/2 night stay+
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.

Luxury Cottage with Private Hot Tub & Sea View
The Cottage was beautiful, peaceful and everything as described! The host was extremely responsive and helpful in every way. I highly recommend staying here. The only thing I would suggest if you are planning a stay is to pre plan taxis, if you don’t drive or you’re planning on drinking alcohol it may be tricky to get a taxi as me and my partner discovered.

Holiday Cottage with 6 seater Hot Tub
We had a lovely stay at Dolores's Cottage No. 1. We were made to feel right at home by Dolores who showed us how everything worked & gave great recommendations for places to eat/visit. She is a fabulous host - so friendly, responsive and kind. The house was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The hot tub is an excellent addition too - it is huge and very well maintained. The playground is another big plus & was a big hit with our 2 year old. Location wise - there are multiple beaches a short drive away & it's only a few minutes drive to the local Lidl and nearby restaurants in Milford.

Carnaween Cottage - a 3-bed cosy Portnoo retreat
The place was perfect, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. One little criticism would be a little welcome pack of yea coffee sugar and milk would be a nice touch as we arrived late and the local store was closed already

Charming Hidden Gem: Crega Cottage
Spotless and cosy as always. Lovely peaceful location. Mary is super quick to respond and is available if you need anything or likewise allows you plenty of privacy

Mountain View Cottage - Luxury & Amazing Views
This is a 5 star cottage. Brian met us at the cottage and was extremely welcoming and showed us around and made us feel at home. He also left a lovely welcome pack of things to make our stay more enjoyable. He also was there to see us off and checked in a few times during our stay to ensure everything was OK. This a a highly recommended cottage. Mountain views, clean, tidy, warm, well presented, everything we needed was provided. The EV charger was a great additional facility as there is only one public charging station in this part of Donegal, and a slow one which makes it only usable if you are about Falcarragh for a long time. Being able to top up the car every evening at the cottage was great. It’s also cheaper than the ESB charger in Falcarragh. It is rare occasion that we feel the need to give full 5 stars to an Airbnb, but this one deserves it. If you are looking for a cosy cottage to relax in and use as a base to explore north west Donegal then book in at Mountain View.

Cottage on The Wild Atlantic Way,Gweedore
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.

Dunmore House - Cottage by secluded beach
Wonderful stay. Paivi was welcoming and very helpful. Lovely house in a stunning area. Would highly recommend recommend

Harben Cottage in the green hills of Ardara
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 ☺️

Rosie's Cottage * Wild Atlantic Way *
Rosie's cottage is unexpectedly wonderful! We love the vintage interior and especially the cozy, spacious kitchen! It feels so comfortable and tranquil to sit by the fireplace on such cold rainy days. Michael is a very sweet and considerable host Who provides us with everything we need during our stay here. Highly recommended!

Cosy, rural Thatched cottage
This is a wonderful cottage for exploring Donegal. Michael was very helpful when we arrived and gave us all the necessary info for the cottage and local area We got a bit unlucky with the weather but made the most of the nearby beaches with our little woofer who was passed out in her bed in front of the stove both evenings! It was so welcoming to arrive to the stove lit on a very rainy day! The landscape of the whole area is beautiful and it is such a peaceful place to stay. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped and everything was perfectly clean, comfortable and warm. We could have stayed much longer and definitely would in future. Would love to visit over summer when the beautiful gardens are in bloom.

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.

Beautiful location, well equipped traditional cottage, cosy stove, beautiful fresh linen and towels. Thanks so much Anne, we felt right at home.

Fabulous stay in the hills of Donegal. Cottage is gorgeous and rustic stone. Loved the way it kept the traditional features. Great location out in the country but close to amenities.

Cheerful 3-Bedroom cottage with fireplace
Beautiful cottage, pictures don’t do it justice. Extremely clean and close to the town of Letterkenny. We had a lovely weekend and would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks for a 10/10 stay.

Cecil's Cottage,Buncrana by Wild Atlantic Wanderer
If your looking for the Irish experience Cecil’s cottage is the perfect setting, remote but all you need within a 5 min drive…. Unfortunately we weren’t blessed with the weather but we soon forgot about that when we arrived to a roaring peat stove and a view that you could never tire off… Communication with the family was very prompt and helpful…. If we plan to be in Buncrana in the future, Cecil’s cottage is where we will be….. Thanks to all the family….👏🏻👏🏻

Ballyboe Cottage
Tony was the most gracious, friendly and informative host. So easy to talk to and full of local recommendations and history about Ballyboe, his family and the area. His homemade bread was such a nice touch and made perfect toast with butter and orange marmalade in the morning!! The cottage was clean, quaint and such an enchanting location!! We had a wonderful stay and were thrilled we got to spend time chatting before departing Ballyboe Cottage. Thank you, Tony!!!

Teach Conal Sloper • Gweedore, Co. Donegal
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!
