About this cottage rental
Corncrake Cottage is a superb holiday home located on Kill Mountain overlooking the popular holiday resort of Dunfanaghy in North Donegal. The cottage has been built in a traditional style with exposed ceiling beams, reclaimed wooden floors, large stone fireplace, wide chimney breast and rough cast walls inside and out. It has been tastefully furnished and decorated throughout in keeping with the traditional style.
The elevated site of the cottage on Kill Mountain provides it with stunning and uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside and coastline from Horn Head to Sheephaven Bay. This beautiful landscape is ever changing with the constantly changing sky.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
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.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Dec 2019
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”!!
