The cottage was outstanding and the owner had all amenities necessary for our stay which was much appreciated along with a welcome hamper, anything we needed was in place by the host and any contact he was very helpful I would strongly recommend for a relaxing break, amazing scenery and 5 star accommodation

It was very comfortable and felt like home from home. The garden was secure, great for the dog, and well kept. Very peaceful, and easily accessible from the main road. The location was lovely. Harbour Inn just 5 minutes walk did great food too. A lovely corner of Donegal, we hope to return to Hillview. Thankyou!
