Fantastic elegant rural home, with elevated views over much of Dunfanaghy and the sea beyond. We loved the coal fire for when rhe weather turned poor. We thoroughly recommend this home for a tranquil break in this part of Donegal.

Gorgeous Cottage in Dunfanaghy

My husband and I spent a week in Cornrake Cottate with our 3 children. The cottage is absolutely gorgeous, immaculately clean, well stocked and cozy with beautiful views to boot! Everyone remarked on how comfortable they found the beds and loved hearing the sheep and cows every now and then in the morning. Annmarie, the owner, was lovely and communicative throughout our stay. I would highly recommend this property.

Fabulous stay!

The cottage is lovely and even more beautiful than the pictures depict. Very cozy beds, lots of room to spread out and well equipped kitchen. Lovely fireplace which we used and many windows to see those magnificent views. Absolutely stunning views and our family enjoyed sitting outside watching the sunset. Very convenient to much on the west coast of Donegal county such as Horn Head, Fanad lighthouse, Sliabh Liag. Good local restaurants and grocery store. Highly recommend and wish we had stayed longer!!

Spectacular Setting

This property is exactly as described. The views are wonderful and we were treated to glorious sunsets. The space is more suitable for a group than a couple and I can imagine families happily gathering here. Beds and bathrooms all comfortable and clean. Annemarie was attentive and responsive to a couple of minor issues (we got lost!) We loved exploring the Dunfanaghy area.

Beautiful house and place

We really enjoyed our stay in Dunfanaghy. It was a very warm and uncomplicated communication. We were surprised with a very attentive and delicious welcome. The house has a great location and offers a beautiful view. It is comfortably and stylishly furnished and offers a special atmosphere and is well equipped. Dunfanaghy is a charming little town and has a lot to offer in the surrounding area. We would love to come back.

Private, safe with great views

I went for health reasons & wanted my family with me so that we could do things together. The weather wasn’t that good but I still sat out side taking in the clean fresh air. Better beds that those in 5* hotels. The whole lay out of the cottage was so carefully planned

Good sight and nice staying

Fine, but for finding you have to read the findinginstructions very carefully and you must know how to handle the eircode, which is not known in Germany. It would be helpful , when it is not the last point of the common instructions of handling warm water etc.

Heaven

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

— A truly special escape. The listing doesn't do it justice.My girlfriend and I stayed at Corncrake Cottage for a few nights to unwind after a busy stretch in Dublin, and it exceeded every expectation.The property: The listing is beautiful, but it genuinely undersells the experience. The exposed beams, stone fireplace, and reclaimed wood floors create an immediate warmth that photos can't fully capture. Every bedroom was spacious with quality bedding, and the views from virtually every room — Horn Head, Sheephaven Bay, the rolling coastline — are breathtaking and constant.Cleanliness & kitchen: Spotless on arrival. The kitchen was exceptionally well-stocked, which made cooking with local meat and produce a genuine highlight of the trip.Host: Annemarie was fantastic — communicative well ahead of arrival and made check-in completely seamless. Her recommendation of The Cove restaurant in Dunfanaghy (10 min away) was a trip highlight. Don't skip it.The surroundings: The walks along the neighbouring roads are magical — quiet, scenic, and full of sheep and lambs at every turn. Exactly the kind of peaceful that's hard to find.Note for North American visitors: The roads leading up to the cottage are narrow and can feel daunting if you're not used to Irish country roads. Take it slow — it's absolutely worth it.We left genuinely reluctant to go. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, restorative Irish escape.

Corn rake Cottage

The cottage is lovely, well-appointed, and the views outstanding! The reason for a less than brilliant review was our experience with “controlled heating”. Early December with a chill both outside and unfortunately inside as well! The thermostat is pre-set and locked and the heating never synced appropriately for customer comfort. This is something one must cover with the owner if traveling “off season”!!

Adorable cottage in Dunfanaghy

We loved the cottage’s sweeping views of the sea and village. The decor was lovely and it was well stocked with necessities. The location was not as indicated by VRBO. It was a quite different, and we did not know the actual location until a couple of days before we were to check in. There is another Corncrake Cottage which is actually in the village Dunfanaghy that appears on the map when you look at Dunfanaghy through VRBO’s map link. The distances to attractions provided by VRBO were completely wrong. Nothing is within walking distance. It was also quite cold even after we requested the heat be turned on. We were forced to use a very temperamental stove to burn wood or solid fuel for heat. There were lovely sunsets and several rainbows which appeared through the many windows and doors. It is well situated for a family.
