    Must say this property was perfect for our family holiday. Property was very clean, beautiful scenery, close to Moville Town and nearby beaches. Very quiet area and ideal for family with young children. Owners of property very helpful and great to deal with.

    Ensuite was a bit dated

    Cottage was spacious and comfortable with amazing views. The only things that would improve our experience would be more mirrors, extra bins and a few wee kitchen extras ( tea, coffee sugar etc). Otherwise I would definitely reccomend Knockalt cottage for a relaxing stay in a beautiful part of Donegal .

    Was just a wee bit far out of the village with a steep hill to climb.

    House was lovely , with exceptional view. Would highly recommend. Owners were on hand to help with anything.

    We would have appreciated bath mats and more towel rail space.

    Lovely host to deal with, quick responses. Outstanding location in the hills behind Moville, with spectacular views. Spacious grounds, easy parking and good boundary fence for our dogs. Nice country walks from the property, and only about 5 minute drive into the town (car a must). A relaxing experience all round.

    Unfortunately dining table was only suitable for 6 people. Maybe a couple of fold up chairs that can be used when 8 folk staying.

    Lovely location. Very peaceful. Cottage very spacious for us all (8 people in total). 2 great size living room/dining room. Everything inside was easily worked. Great to have a washing machine especially when weather wasn’t that great and plenty of muddy clothes. Very friendly cat liked to visit. Host was very contactable and answered promptly any questions we asked.

    It didn’t bother us, but it’s a couple of miles walk into town. Petrol stations locally have great shopping on site due to the rural location. Great food and drink in Moville, and nearby beaches are stunning and safe for swimming. I can’t find anything to complain about at all!

    Stunning location, wonderful hosts, perfect for our family and dog. Large, secure garden for the dog to enjoy his holiday. You won’t want to watch TV, you’ll just want to stare at the loch and changing sky, especially at sunrise and sunset. Plenty of turf provided for the fire in the cooler evenings. Kitchen has everything you need and beds are very comfy. Small adjoining farm so you can say hi to the 3 or 4 sheep over the garden fence at the back. Hosts are very knowledgeable, friendly and available without being too intrusive. We had a perfect stay and will be back.

    We had the most wonderful few days here for St Patrick’s day. The kids loved being able to run around the spacious garden and the turf fire made the evenings super cosy!

    Wifi went off at about 12.30am when we were watching something. Had to ring the host the next morning to get more data put on. Was a bin in kitchen but no wee smaller bins placed within the cottage in bathroom, living room etc. Bed in the ensuite was quite uncomfortable could do with a new mattress. A bigger tv would make things better too. These are just a few things to improve but by no means is this a negative review. We both enjoyed our time at the cottage and would definitely come back.

    Lovely peaceful location Good facilities, well heated Good hosts Close to the town

    Nothing to dislike.just be open, accept ,embrace, adapt ,be resourceful

    The setting ,just gets better daily.the panorama changes daily ,with the light, the weather,but it never fails to make you feel in awe .looking from the property down into Moville you see this amazing spectacle of the ocean.On the last day ,there was not even an hint of wind/breeze, the ocean was like a Millpond,and it sparkled almost silver in appearance. , there are a few beaches close by ,for me I like to discover beaches and the ocean..The best of what I saw ,and it was a Blue flag Beach CULDAFF .It was a rainy day but just to prove the point that Culdaff was a bit special the dun came out in its full glory for less than 10mins and the place showed its true colours . Moville a small place,everything you need is there and within walking distance.Never seen so many pubs and pubs in such a small space,maybe 10 within 100m. Yeah great the place embraces you day by day ,you get it. You understand what a nice place it is.

    We loved everything about this property. If we had to make a complaint it would be that the house could do with a tiny bit of work but it wouldn’t stop us from staying again. The house was absolutely spotless and the owners were lovely. We had the best stay
