Family-friendly vacation rentals in Donegal

The studio apartment was nice and cosy, and well equiped with everything you'd need. The hot tub was a great addition. Nicola was quick to respond to any messages and close by if you needed her help with anything. Even though the studio is within her garden area, she allows you plenty of privacy. It was perfect for my two dogs and close to both Castlerock beach and the Mussenden Temple/Downhill Demesne. Would recommend the Coffee Hut in Castlerock and Al's Coffee Bar beside The Lion's Gate/Mussenden Temple. Will hopefully return soon!

Limekiln Cottage is so unusual, it's hard to capture. An old cottage uniquely situated on a river, the river practically runs under the house. Oodles of room. We went for Christmas and the cottage was decorated with a beautiful tree and lights.Highly recommended. Also Andersons Boathouse restaurant in Killybegs also worth a visit.

Right from the second we hit the lane I was in love, beautifully kept grounds and amazing driveway. I didn't have the chance to meet Robyn as she was busy doing clean up after that horrible storm but I had the pleasure of meeting her lovely mummy Dawn. Dawn explained everything to me very clearly including instructions on hot tub, heating and of course about the lovely wee village. I could have chatted to her all night and she even brought 2 gorgeous dogs to greet us which made my stay better. I would totally recommend staying here especially if you love forestry and lakes. Omg the shower is amazing too. You deffo have to use it 😂. The worst part of this trip was having to leave. I absolutely loved it. Everything was just perfect. Thank you for having us Robyn and lovely to have met you Dawn ❤️

such a beautiful cabin, just the right spot to relax and discover northern Ireland. chilling in the hottub was absolutely cool, highly recommended place to stay!

Visited here for 5 days and it was a great experience. The place was clean, plenty of room for 4 people and kitted out with all of the essentials we needed for our stay. The location is excellent with plenty of pubs, restaurants and shops, within walking distance. Tricia was attentive and was very good at communicating with us throughout our stay and even dropped in some cupcakes for us. Will heavily consider coming back here when we next visit Ireland.

This is a beautiful home nestled in the Donegal hills. Superb location. Walking distance from the nearest little village, yet it feels like it's totally in the countryside. Mairead was totally invisible but instantly contactable if needed. Super host and beautiful home - will return at the first available opportunity.

What a find !!! This place is amazing and was gutted we only got to spend 1 night here. Will deffo be returning. Amazing location with picturesque views, amazing room with everything you needed. Lovely hot tub and outside fire 🔥 Paula greeted us on arrival and was so helpful with checking in. Some lovely walks close by and the amazing 7 mile stretch of beach is unreal. Would recommend to everyone as it’s such an amazing find.

I booked the place wanting to stay in the Ox Mountain area as my grandmother loved to glance at the Ox Mountain in north direction as she lived south of Moy River. It was first trip for my best friend, so it was spectacular place to be especially time of the year with all of these fresh snow and experience what it was like to live with turf fireplace. I am humbled by all of this experiences and beautiful surroundings. Dermot and Monica were thoughtful and friendly hosts. Their recommendations on places to visit and where to eat were spot on! You cannot beat the spa fees - affordable price! It is good for anyone who wants to be off the grid from phones/technology and be in tuned with the nature, animals and people.

Gorgeous house with lots of space for our family of 5 & 2 dogs. In a great location. No noise pollution but within walking distance of beach, walks, shops, restaurants and cafes. Lovely clean and well stocked with supplies for us and dogs. Nicola fantastic host and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and special.

Would absolutely recommend staying in Gemma’s Accomodation if you are planning on visiting Dungloe - only a short drive to some of the most beautiful beaches in the country! Very clean and convenient facilities 👍

My brother and myself were paying a visit to relatives who live in the area..we found Sheila’s air B&B to be very accommodating..very homely ..warm ..private ..as my brother described it to being like “ home from home “.accommodation was very clean and well equipped .We could not find fault at all . We met Sheila before departing and had a lovely friendly chat and discovered she knew our relatives . We would definitely use this accommodation again if it met our requirement dates .

We had a great stay at Kathleen’s place, the house was beautiful and the view from the back garden was amazing. So peaceful. The house was very well equipped and spotless. We had our dog with us and the secure yard meant she could run round happy. Would definitely come back in the summer to make the best use of the patio area on lovely summers night. The wee extra touches of fresh flowers and all the fire materials to get the stove lit was great.

Noreen was a great host and very friendly. Any questions we had before booking she was extremely approachable and gave great recommendations when we arrived. The location is absolutely beautiful, very rural which is what Donegal is all about. The views of the mountains whilst sitting at the table outside for a coffee was the view I needed after Christmas week. Ardara centre about 10 minute drive away with a vary of different bars and food places to tickle your needs. Will definitely consider booking again in future.

Chris & Collettes apartment was perfect for our couples get away, and so close to everywhere we wanted to visit in Sligo. They also could not have been more prepared, everything ready from their super handy recommendation folder to the instructions on how to use the things in the apartment. Couldn't recommend higher, loved the stay and would visit again. R&F

Well you can't get much more peaceful, the cottage is perfectly described in the name. it's a beautiful cottage, a decent size and has literally everything you'll need for your stay. We had an amazingly relaxing few nights, chilling in front of tge fire and enjoying the place. ten minutes drive by taxi your in gorgeous Drumshambo, few tasty pints in Conways and a taxi home in no time, the locals were so friendly and it was such fun. Next morning we were fishing for pike in the beautiful Lough Allen, only minutes away again, no luck this time unfortunately. Everything was arranged easily with Margaret and we got some great advice from her colleague Gerry. We will definitely return soon. Thanks Mags x

We had a wonderful few days at David and Barbara’s. The surrounding area is stunning. We could walk to the beach and the view of the harbour from the house is beautiful. The beds were comfortable and our family of five had plenty of space. We lit the stove in the sitting room at night, which was lovely on chilly October nights. We easily accessed activities for the family in the surrounding area. It’s a very nice spot in a beautiful area.

my family and I had a great week at the Coach house, and the house was spacious and very well equipped and clean. the main attractions are outdoors! the lake at the bottom of the driveway! the beach, the private hot tub was amazing and so spacious. the games room was fab! everyone loved it, from the adults to the kids, hours of entertainment 😀 highly recommend 👌

We were astonished by this place. The house is so deceiving from the front but once you enter it’s completely modern with an en-suite in every single bedroom, you would swear you were staying in the hotel itself. The rooms were spotless and the staff on site were absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back here again soon and will be recommending this place to everyone who is looking for a staycation. Thanks again for a great night away.

Beautiful and spacious ocean front rental. We had everything we needed and quick access to the Buncrana ocean trail. We had a relaxing time here to celebrate a wedding.

The Sawmill is, without a doubt, the most incredible Airbnb I’ve ever experienced! Every centimeter of it is packed with charm and thoughtful details, making it truly special! Nestled in a tranquil forest with a private lake nearby, it feels like a hidden paradise in the heart of Donegal - the most breathtaking county in Ireland. And the sauna? Absolute perfection - the ultimate way to unwind after a day of hiking, surfing, or exploring the stunning coastline. The host was fantastic, providing clear instructions and ensuring everything was seamless. Can’t recommend this place enough – we loved every second!
