I cannot speak highly enough about this place 💕 The host Sarah was such a pleasure to deal with. After booking I got a message from her(which I’ve never got before) to ask if there was anything she could do or help with for our stay! When I asked what time we had to check out at and normally it’s 11 but she let us stay on till 12 ☺️ The house was so clean and on arrival she had a note to welcome us to the house and some goodies that we enjoyed with our tea ☕️🍪 The location of the property was perfect, literally 2 min walk from the centre of the town! I have stayed in quite a few places and this by far beats them all 💕 I WILL MOST DEFINITELY BE BACK 🥰

    A charming and comfortable cottage in a peaceful location. Great base for exploring the surrounding area in beautiful Donegal. Spacious with comfortable beds, a cosy fire, and the added treat of the hot tub. The most welcoming of hosts who manage to strike the perfect balance of being attentive if needed but also allow you space to enjoy your holiday. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

    Gap lodge is a warm , cosy feel at home B&B. The place is equipped with all required amenities and well organised. Myself and wife had a great time at the B&B . The service provided by the host is highly commendable . The host went all the way out of her comfort zone to drop us to the city center when no taxis turned up for more than half an hour . Highly recommend this place to anyone who is travelling around Donegal.

    If you're looking for a cosy cottage in a rural get away from it all setting then Willie's cottage surrounded by lovely scenery, ticks all the boxes. The standard of cleanliness is excellent. The cottage is well equipped, well furnished and warm . The open fire is delightful should bad weather close in. If the sun shines there is a picnic bench and garden chairs where you can enjoy the tranquil setting.
