    Great base

    We absolutely loved our time at The Snug. We went to Slieve League cliffs one day (beautiful not to be missed!)Donegal town one day and had a delicious meal at the Blueberry Cafe and explored the town and Donegal Castle. We ordered food from TJs takeaway and ate in Mac's pub. ( Edel is an absolute angel) We went to the Marina Cafe in Killybegs 2 times. Everyone was so so friendly!! We loved our little place in Dunkineely....we felt like locals. Everyone knew of it when we shared where we were staying. Sheila was always very quick to respond to any questions.

    We loved staying at this apartment and were only sorry not to be there for longer! It has ample space for a couple - there is a bedroom separate from the living room/kitchen - and is very comfortable. The apartment was clean and the owner and caretaker had thought of some nice extra touches, such as leaving us with a fresh pint of milk and some chocolate bars. The kitchen was fully equipped - we couldn't think of anything that was missing. I'd be happy to recommend this apartment to anyone.

    Cozy Apartment for Two

    My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Snug. We took advantage of cooking in the kitchen and sitting outside to enjoy the garden view. It's walking distance to a couple of friendly pub's and a great local butcher. St. John's point is a short drive away and well worth it. It can get chilly in The Snug if you choose not to light the stove, so be prepared with slippers and an extra layer. Thank you Sheila!

    Tour of Donegal

    Stayed at the snug, it was exactly as described, the only thing that we weren’t informed of was the amount of rabbits that lived behind the snug😄 we had 2 very inquisitive collies that were mad to chase them. Everything about the property was perfect & my partner was delighted with the cleanliness & the location of same, shop 2 doors up & 3 fine pubs 2doors down ( too near 😂). Everything that we could possibly need was in the snug. For sure we will return again. Thank you. Claire &Thomas

    Nice location, poor management

    I feel there are 2 aspects of vacation rentals: the building itself and the service provided. Here we had a split response with a very nice space to stay in but little to no service provided in a way that felt like neglect. The garden apartment itself is cozy and clean with a beautiful view out the back when it is clear. The walled area in the back would be great for dogs to run around in. The bed is comfortable. The street noise is surprisingly loud for a building set back from the road, but I wonder if it gets funneled in. The management here was very disappointing. We stayed right after Christmas when the caretaker was away, which seemed to lead the owner to just decide that we should be on our own. So we arrived at the apartment and it was quite cold. The heat was not on and there was no fire lit. It took 4-5 hours to warm the interior and we had to buy some of our own fuel to keep things warm, which I personally feel should be provided. There were no bath towels out, so we had to hunt for these. The Wifi was on but there was no internet connection the entire time we were there. Having US cell phones with no international calling plan, we had no way to alert our host to this problem and were trying to find Wifi out and about to do so but many places were closed and we were unsuccessful. We finally made the very expensive phone call around 1830 and, while she was apologetic, she later said we let her know too late to do anything about this. I was very disappointed in her overall effort to insure our comfort, which felt like no effort at all. My feeling is that if you are unable to find a replacement caretaker around the holidays and unwilling to service the location yourself, you should not accept a booking at that time. I would definitely not return here.

    Perfect for a couple

    Excellent spot for a couple of relaxing days. Particularly well suited to us because it is pet friendly and had a secure garden that the dogs could enjoy as we enjoyed sitting outside on the raised patio area. Good friendly village location with a well stocked shop a few doors away and a good "chippy" a little further down the street. Would recommend it.

    Perfect dog-friendly apartment

    The garden apartment was a great space for a weekend in Donegal with our friendly golden retriever, Finbar. The garden was very secure and he enjoyed sleeping in front of the fire in the evenings. The small apartment was very comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen and safe parking for the car. The staff in the pub next door were happy to allow Finbar to join us and we found everyone in the local shops very friendly. We visited several local beaches and towns and would recommend Rossnowlagh with lunch at the Smugglers Inn. We were pleased to meet Sheila as we were leaving having found the booking process clear and easy with Sheila answering all our queries throughout - we would definitely visit again and would highly recommend this apartment.

    Nice place but a little issue with bugs

    The apartment was very nice everything you need was in there and a wonderful back yard. Close to the beaches and scenery. But she needs to give better instructions on how to get to the bottom apt. It's in the very back to the side around the corner of the building. As for the bugs. I understand that it's a old building but there are obviously cracks in the foundation because within our 2 nights we killed 15 millipedes 6 daddy long legs a Beetle and a earwig. And I'm not a fan of bugs so I was stressing about it the whole time. Then on our check out day she texted to see how our stay was and we mentioned the bugs and she never wrote back. Still haven't heard from her. Hopefully by next summer everything will be looked after because it is a nice place.

    What a special little garden apartment, with all the amenities for a lovely stay. The bed was very comfortable. In this quiet village, there are lovely walks nearby, neighbouring pubs, cafe and convenience store. Everything was supplied to make us feel welcome and 'at home.' We would highly recommend this spot. We were within an easy drive to the Cliffs and the Folk Village, too.

    Simply fabulous!

    We discovered the snug last year and spent 5 fabulous days discovering Donegal and the surrounding area. This year we decided to extend our stay to 10 nights as we loved it so much. The snug has everything you need to have a relaxing break -situated only 10 minutes from killybegs and 15 minutes from Donegal town. It's the perfect getaway with a beautiful enclosed garden, with amazing views , which our dog loved, a walled patio area, ideal for an early morning cup of tea while you take in the peace and tranquility that surrounds you. That's providing you can actually drag yourself out of the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! Dunkineely's residents will offer you a very warm welcome to the village and Macs bar, situated just a few doors away, offers great hospitality and craic every evening and the traditional night in Macintyres each Wednesday is not to be missed. If cooking on holiday is not your thing - no problem, Baskins are open 6 nights a week and the food is fab. We're already planning our return trip to the snug next year - this time for a full 2 weeks!

    Cosy cottage in beautiful location

    Sheila was very accommodating when we had to change our booking. The apartment is perfect for visiting NW Ireland as it has several beautiful locations nearby: St John's Point and Fintra beaches are both stunning. The enclosed garden was very useful for our dog and had fantastic views. Inside, the apartment is simply furnished, but very comfortable (the bed in particular). Tea bags and milk were provided, which were much appreciated. Dunkineely also has shops, a restaurant and at least 3 pubs, so you can experience Irish hospitality without getting in to your car. Overall, a lovely break. Thanks, Sheila.
