Excellent host, great communication. Cottage was beautifully decorated and spotless clean. Has more than you need. Everything is high quality. Appliances are good brands and all in good condition. Location is close enough to towns so there is plenty of good shops and restaurants yet the cottage is in a quiet natural environment. We woke up to birds singing.

Donegal beauty

Great property! Lovely setting and a wonderful place to stay with beautiful walks right there. We were glad we rented a car to get around. The quiet, peaceful setting is what we wanted though! Very short walk to the beautiful ocean shore below.

We loved staying at Creevy Cottages and our experience exceeded our expectations! Katie reached out in advance and followed-up, which made us feel welcome. The instructions were great, and although finding the home was tricky, the outside photo and sign provided a way for us to confirm we were at the right spot. We loved walking down to the pier for sunset, too!

Highly recommend this cottage

Our goal was to have a base location for 4 adults to explore Donegal and Northern Ireland. We were very happy to find the Creevy Cottage to be such a beautiful and well appointed house. The cottage was exceptionally clean and in near new condition. The location suited us well as it offered privacy and quiet while being a short drive from pubs, restaurants and shopping. And a bonus was the beautiful cove that was just a short walk from the cottage. We would not hesitate to stay here again or give a strong recommendation to anyone interested in staying here.

We had the most amazing stay at the Creevy Cottages! We were looking for a relaxing place to stay after our visit to Dublin and the accommodations were just that and much more! We enjoyed swimming off the pier each afternoon which was walkable from the cottage and taking in the beautiful views and sunset each night. Cows grazed in the yard behind the cottage in the evening dusk hours which was delightful. Morning breakfast and coffee on the back patio made for a great start to our days. Easy drive into town and beautiful beaches nearbye! We lucked out with amazing weather. Hope to come back again and stay at this precious place!
