    Incredible views from the cottage and luxurious beds made for a restful and relaxing stay. Dunfanaghy’s newest coffee shop Casa is excellent and recommend a visit to the workhouse. Thank you Annemarie for letting us stay in your cottage.

    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!!

    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.
