Cottage vacation rentals in Rathlee

Grace's house was a real treat! Nestled away in the trees overlooking the river made it feel so private and peaceful. The house itself was so cosy, clean and inviting but had plenty of space and different areas to relax. The grounds were amazing and the kids had a ball discovering the swings, hottub and reading shed. The whole place was magical and we were sad to leave. Grace was very responsive to any communication and made us feel so welcome. The house location was a great base for some of the stunning sights Donegal has to offer and we were very close to many beautiful sandy beaches. This house was the best airbnb we have ever stayed in! We can't wait to come back, thanks so much Grace

My partner, doggy and myself had an incredible time at Catrionas. We stayed for two nights and sat in both evenings and enjoyed the amenities. Catriona has three lovely dogs and so many cute farm animals - we were lucky enough to see baby bell as a 3 week old lamb. Most importantly Catriona was very accommodating of our dog who can be a bit funny (being very kind), she was a great host. Her place is the most perfect tranquil piece of heaven! Would recommend it to everyone :)

If you are looking for peaceful, relaxating and bit of play then this is the right place. We loved the location, the hot tub and had a blast with the go karts (our 3 year old especially). Good farm house stay. James was our contact and was very helpful and responsive. We would absolutely recommend!

My wife and I had a lovely time at a charming little cottage. The atmosphere was cozy, and we enjoyed the sauna and hot tub immensely. We also liked having a bonfire outside for extra warmth and fun. Although it rained during our stay, we found that the cottage had good sound systems and a TV. This allowed us to listen to music and enjoy a wonderful evening indoors. Overall, we highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing getaway! :)

We had a truly wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The location is absolutely perfect—peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. It was the ideal spot to relax and unwind, with nature right at our doorstep. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It felt like a real home away from home. Our host Mairead was fantastic— She made sure we had everything we needed and had the turf fire lit on our arrival. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of Donegal!

We had a nice relaxing long weekend here, it’s out of the way enough to be rural but the town is still within easy reach. The house itself was ideal and the facilities, although we didn’t use the hot tub or sauna are first class. Would recommend.

Booked a night away for my girlfriends birthday but also I had planned a surprise proposal to her. the cottage had a beautifully decorated outdoor space which was perfect for the proposal. had the most amazing time there, the location was quiet and peaceful, the cottage was beautifully decorated and perfectly finished with all the basic amenities. couldn't recommend this place enough. being pet friendly was also a great feature as we were able to bring our dog for some lovely walks round the local area. Shaun was a perfect host and was very welcoming and helpful upon arrival. 10/10 would definitely be back

It was a lovely old house that has been tastefully updated. It is a bit far from the nearest town to walk to so we drove. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The grounds were lovely and the hot tub was brilliant. The bed was cosy and comfortable.

Perfect hideaway location! The house is stunning and so peaceful. Conor is a lovely host. Would absolutely recommend!

Audrey has a practical and well equipped place, I was delighted to have the option to cater for myself and got full use from the kitchen but there are good takeaways nearby too. I slept really well both nights. Audrey gave me pointers about a local business being closed that helped me reschedule what I was planning successfully. Make sure to have coins for the electricity meter. Great hosts and a great location for exploring Sligo/Leitrim.

Just lovely wee place.. the fully fenced garden was brilliant for my dog, the garden is huge, the cottage was very cosy, very warm, bed comfortable, shower great. Noreen was a great communicative host and even supplied a ball for my dog!! Would not hesitate to recommend area, property and host... we had bad weather one day, a perfect excuse to just curl up and and indulge In the fabulous home, heat and a book!! Everything was as described, perfectly clean and everything you could want for a short or long stay!!

My family loved our stay at Ardcarne Lodge. Brian and his parents were helpful and welcoming, with lots of local recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing, and the lodge itself was utterly charming. We also appreciated the fresh flowers, and the grocery essentials in the fridge. Our stay here was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland!

We had such a nice time staying at the cottage. It was so peaceful, right in nature. Daragh was very kind and gave us a lift to the shops which was really nice. The cottage was perfect and felt very homely.

great place to get away from it all, lovely patio to eat on when the sun shines. great area for walking. hope to get back again for longer

Lovely traditional cottage well kitted out, and kept pristine by Clare. Looking forward to our next visit.

We loved our stay! The house is very well equipped with everything we needed to feel comfortable. The view is absolutely beautiful and the location is great. The host was very kind and always responded promptly to our messages. We were very satisfied with the experience and would definitely recommend it!

A cottage with an authentic charm in which you wish you could stay for ever. It is one of the nicest places we have ever been to.

Thank you for this great stay, Marie! We felt very comfortable in the beautiful house the entire time (14 days) and had everything we needed. There were problems with the refrigerator in between, which Marie and her family solved very quickly and kindly! The scones and freshly baked bread were also very welcome. The place is good for a small family (with toddler), even if the house is not directly oriented to it. The daily feeding of the cows right next door was a real highlight for our child. You definitely need a car, but in 15-60 minutes many beautiful places (and playgrounds) are easily accessible. Thank you and best regards!

Absolutely beautiful. The cottage was an amazing find. lots of character and the outdoor space was perfect for our three girls to run around in. Tracey was a great host and communications were excellent. would highly recommend.

The cottage was clean and tidy hughjohn arrived with a welcome pack which was great the area was so quite and the scenery was beautiful views off the sea and mountains a geat place for rest and relaxing and exploring will definitely be back

Had a great stay at Neil & Aileens place. Delightful cottage with beautiful views. 10 minutes from the fantastic Portnoo beach and 10 minutes from Ardara also. Place has everything you need for a great stay. Neil & Aileen great hosts. Hope to return over the coming months. Thanks guys!!

What an pretty spot direct on Lough Allen. Totally private and peaceful, a great place to unwind. Decorated with lots of personal individual things, very homely and cosy. The pictures speak for themselves. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the place and slept like logs.

Great peaceful spot. spotlessly clean and everything we needed. nice welcome food for us and our dog. perfect hosts . second time here and will be back again.

Checking was super smooth; Donegal town is 10is minutes away; The views were amazing from the kitchen, master bedroom and living room, other rooms had really nice views as well but not the ocean. It was very clean and had a really nice vibe to it - I’d recommend this easily to anyone, the backyard is so serene - would 100% go there again
