Donegal Vacation

The Snug was absolutely perfect as a home base to see all of Donegal’s sights. My wife and I absolutely loved The Slieve League and St John’s Point. Sheila was fantastic in answering all of my questions and making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The little corner market only steps away was a lifesaver in regards to getting little things we forgot to pack. And if you stay in The Snug, make sure you make your way to Donegal town and eat at The Olde Castle Bar and Restaurant - they had the absolute best venison and seafood pies.

Quarantine stay

The property is comfortable, has plenty of space, and the amenities, such as washer and dryer, WiFi, and heater all worked great. The view is lovely and there are numerous walks nearby. Only the bathroom and kitchen needed a bit of attention to put us at ease. Overall it’s a great place to stay and we would stay there again.

The choice of TV channels was pretty thin, but we weren't there to watch TV. Would have appreciated a non-skid mat in the bath. Stove top is due for a clean.

Rustikal, zweckmäßig- freundlich aber eher geringer Standard

Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Die Ferienwohnung ist groß, hat aber ihre besten Tage hinter sich. Das Bad entspricht nicht dem deutschen Standard, die Küche ist groß und man findet alles, was man benötigt, allerdings hier und da auch ein wenig schmuddelig. Die Betten waren bequem. Die Wohnung liegt an der Durchfahrtsstraße des Ortes. Das Schlafzimmer nach hinten raus war sehr ruhig, das vordere durch den Straßenverkehr recht laut. Dunkineely liegt zwischen Donegal und Killybegs - beide Orte sind mit dem Auto in 15 Minuten zu erreichen. Im Ort selbst gibt es nur einen Minimarkt.

Ein idealer Ort zum Ferien machen

Die Ferienwohnung bietet alles, was man braucht zum entspannen. Die Informationen zur Anreise kamen sehr schnell nach der Buchung und waren sehr Präzise. Die Räume sind gemütlich und die Aussicht haben wir jeden Tag genossen. Der Parkplatz auf dem Hof ist seht praktisch, es gibt einen Laden und Bars in ein paar schritten Entfernung. Schon die nähere Umgebung lohnt der Erkundung und auch als Ausgangspunkt für die weitere Umgebung ist die Lage prima. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen.

The apartment was well-equipped and comfortable and in a convenient location for touring County Donegal and the Wild Atlantic Way. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, rainy and windy for most of the time, so we enjoyed having such a lovely apartment to return to and relax in.

Everything and more

You never know what you’re really going to get when you travel and The Snug was a delight surprise. I can’t say enough about this little place, Sheila’s quick responses to my inquiries, and the awesome location. The tiny (and I mean tiny) and quiet hamlet of Dunkineely is not a destination town but it’s a fantastic home base to make day trips from. The off-street parking is also a huge bonus (people park on the side walk because the road is so narrow). There is a nice little convenience/grocery store a mere block away. One cafe (didn’t try) and 4 bars (I only went to Mac’s and it was great). You’ll definitely need a car to get around. This isn’t a mass transit or even a walking area. The sights and experiences of Donegal require a car. This is a self-catering apt so be prepared to supply your own TP once it runs out. Everything else was extremely well provided. There is a washing machine (no dryer) and a dish washer. Internet worked flawlessly. There is also a lovely back yard. You can gaze out onto a farmer’s field and Inver Bay — very peaceful. Small warning: the walls are thin. Not sure if the adjoining apt had full-time renters or other travelers but it can get noisy. I needed ear plugs at night to sleep. I would return to The Snug in a heartbeat: absolutely loved it.
