Donegal Cottage Holidays Home Page

By far the cleanest cottage we have rented in 20 years in Ireland and Europe. The views was special and aided by wonderful weather. We all loved the tranquility and easy access to beach and walks with our dog. Hope to return soon to enjoy again the magnificent star light specticle over the shore. Will recommend to friends and family.

Thank you for the Easter Eggs and Chocolates.

Thanks a million.

The Treacy Family, Co Galway

This was our second visit here to Otway Lodge, it was a lovely break especially before revision for GCSE's started. The weather was not the greatest but having the fire on and playing monopoly with cups of tea was perfect!

The beach again was beautiful and Holly the dog loved it. Thank you so much for this lovely house which gives us a break from everything!

Meg, Jessica, Clarissa, Courtney & Holly the Dog from Co. Down

The house is just wonderful with all the comforts of home. The dogs just loved the beach and Medbh has declared it “our secret beach”. We had a great holiday and want to thank Linda for making us so welcome. We have just fallen in love with the area it’s a beautiful part of our Island. We all want to return soon.

Great house and views, we had a great time at Otway lodge. House was spotless. Beach was fab. Will be back again. Will be recommending house to family and friends.

The Black family, Co. Down.

I had a good time body boarding on the beach, perfect waves, watch out for the seals and brown hare,

Jemma Age 8.

The scenery on arrival was breath-taking, even though it was a wet windy afternoon. On entering the cottage we were instantly impressed at the standard of Cleanliness and how well appointed it is – particularly the kitchen utensils. We have had a wonderful holiday – the beach to ourselves everyday and a great base in a fab setting.

We will definitely return.

The Justin family, Co. Antrim.

Lovely house in excellent condition, we enjoyed our stay at Otway Lodge.Beach was great everyone enjoyed the water. Will be back.

Danny, Ursula & family.

Once again enjoyable holiday. Thanks.

A lovely quiet week in a beautiful setting. Cottage very welcoming in that all is provided for – comfortable everywhere.Wonderful views in Donegal,

a visitor form Canada.

A wonderful peaceful break with all mod-cons, in a lovely part of Donegal. The silence was so much appreciated and the views ever changing and delightful. Thanks for your warm hospitality,

Maureen McCollum, Glasgow.

Great location and excellent accommodation. Great place to come for quiet and peaceful weekend.

Highly recommended Water’s Edge Restaurant also. Thanks for a great stay.

The four men from Scotland.

Many thanks to Eamon & Linda for their assistance at the weekend, the house is very nice, facilities are good and I’m sure future visitors will appreciate this little corner of Donegal.

The views over Lough Swilly are great, we went pony tracking at the local equestrian centre, we went to Letterkenny cinema.

We had a really nice time, hope to come back again sometime maybe for longer.

Bye for now, Moya & Garfield, Co. Armagh.

I had a really good time staying at this lovely house and hope to come back next year,

Meaghan.

Beautiful cottage, views spectacular, lovely part of Donegal, will come back again.

Paul & Gillian, Co. Down.

Another fantastic break in this great cottage, thanks for making it so “Christmassy” for us. See you again.

The Long family.

What a fabulous view from the front of Otway Lodge, great location, great place. We will definitely be back.

The golf course, beach, views etc. everything is perfect for a relaxing, tranquil break/holiday. We haven’t had this much fresh air and beaches in a long time. Kinnegar beach is beautiful with lovely golden sands though a lot busier than the one beside the house.

The house is home from home with everything you could look for. We are already planning our next visit. With horse riding close by in Rathmullan at the golden sands equestrian centre, Letterkenny & Ramelton are only a short drive away and the scenery along the Fanad Drive in the direction of Portsalon is absolutely breathtaking and stunning.

We shall have to recommend Otway to our friends & family- or maybe we will keep it as our little secret! A little piece of paradise in the North West.

Hope to be back again very soon.

David & Aoife, Co. Louth.

So glad to be back. Cottage & area is even better than we remembered. Thanks Eamon for the logs the fire was just wonderful every night. The walks on the beach were perfect and every day we walked from Kinnegar to Rathmullan along the sand, we rewarded ourselves with a couple of lovely pints of the black stuff.

Can’t wait to come back in July.

Brenda & Joe, Belfast.

Otway lodge was a very comfortable place to stay, it was home from home. Kids had loads of room to play outside. Will recommend it to others.

Shannon & Hughes Family.

Beautiful house, very enjoyable stay and excellent accommodation. Quite remote location but very peaceful and look forward to coming back. Thank you.

The Sloan Family, London.

We’ve had a super week at Otway Lodge. The house is wonderful and mountain views are spectacular and loved the sun room and big kitchen. In fact we’ve hardly going to far all week as we’ve had such a nice time around the house and walking the beach.

Best wishes from the Maybin Family, Co. Antrim.

Easter weekend, once again had a wonderful time. See you soon,

Mr & Mrs McCausland, Co. Down.

Wonderful views, wonderful cottage, we all had a wonderful time.

A last minute decision led us here and we have been delighted by the lovely house, idyllic setting and the peace and quiet. Everyone has been so friendly. Will need to come again, next time for longer and with the golf clubs.

The Evans Family, Scotland.

A most enjoyable stay in an idyllic setting. The peacefulness and solitude is blissful. The views across the Swilly are spectacular. “Otway lodge” is a most beautiful cottage and provided well for all our needs and requirements. It is to be highly recommended and we would certainly like to return.

The Fitzpatrick Family, Hillsborough, England.

One and a half weeks into our stay – don’t want to go home. Your house is perfect, Scenery gorgeous, Total bliss. In 17 years coming to Ireland, the best holiday by far. This has by far exceeded all my expectations – a true “haven” from life’s woes.

Thank you, The Canning Family, Strathaven, Scotland.

Fantastic house, kids had lots and lots of room to play. Beautiful views and beach. We all had a lovely time, will be back next year.

Thanks very much, The Hartney Family, Manchester.

Had a great weekend, lovely house with spectacular views, great hospitality. Thanks very much for having us and will definitely be back soon.

The Vint Family, Co. Down.

We have had a blissful few days in Otway Lodge. The house itself was perfect, we have loved the spectacular views and have been so fortunate with the weather. The dining “al fresco” has been super. Can’t wait to return especially for the beach which we had to ourselves. Pat the dog had a great time, we will come back and we will tell plenty of our friends about this special place. Thanks for your hospitality,

The Gallagher Family, Coleraine.

Great house, views are brilliant having this beach and long sandy beach 5 mins drive from here to walk Barney and all to ourselves. Weather not so good but still had a fab time relaxing and exploring.

Jackie and Bill.

We’ve had the most spectacular of Christmas’s. A wonderful cottage in the most beautiful of surroundings made for one of the best festive experiences ever. The cottage was spotlessly clean and kindly decorated for the festive period. Fantastic walks only a stones throw away as well as the wonderful Atlantic Drive only a short distance away. We will remember this holiday for a long time and very much hope to come back to Otway Lodge again.

Natalie, Bernie, Jenny and Gary, Chester.
