Blue Stack House Reviews

Andreas

The accommodation is fantastic and in a superb location in the Donegal mountains! The cottage owners provided excellent and charming service! We are fishermen and have been coming to Ireland for many years to visit the lakes of the Blue Stack! We will definitely book this accommodation again in the future!

Jessica

We had such a relaxing holiday here. The cottage is comfortable with the most amazing views! We took our toddler and she loved the space to play, both inside and outside the cottage, so it didn't matter what the weather was doing. Would highly recommend staying here! We hope to return one day.

Wendy Kokroko

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at blue stack. Everything we need was available. Host was very helpful con and Noreen very nice host. Children enjoyed the stay and of course the scenery was beautiful. We will definitely come again.

Daniel

We had an amazing time at Blue Stack House. The house is so spacious and has everything you need. It's beautiful. As soon as we arrived we felt at home. Location is perfect for anyone who wants to escape for some uninterrupted quiet. The views are just stunning. Checking in and out was hassle free. Honestly didnt want to leave. I would definitely book again.

Norman

If you are looking for entertainment, this is not the property for you. If you are looking for real bright lights, the stars in the completely dark sky are fantastic. This is the ultimate rest cure sitting in the Blue Stack mountains about eight miles outside Donegal town with sheep being the only hear neighbours. It is also the last house on electricity. The owner should register it on Trip Advisor and I would repeat the same.

Patricia

Wonderful house. Our family loved every minute of it. The owners very friendly. We loved the experience.

Great and really remote location. The House has everything one needs for a relaxing holiday. Only item for improvement would be the mattresses in the downstairs twinbedroom. The springs there poke in to your back specially for adults or heavy children

Michael

Well kept property, the Internet didn't work but this was fixed quickly by con and noree they were very helpful. This property is remote and is good for anyone that likes walking or for touring donegal. The road to it is rough in places with grass down the centre. Yes we would go back there again we loved the peace and quiet of its surroundings

Beate Kristina

The house was spacious and beautifully located. The view was fantastic, we could see all the way to the sea and Ben Bulben. The silence was restful, we heard nothing but the sheep and birds around the house. For us the house was not too remote, we made many trips to the surrounding area Donegal Town, Killybegs, and the beautiful beaches of Donegal. The friendly and helpful hosts took good care of us. We will gladly come again. Translated with www.DeepL.comTranslator free version

Superb location with very far views. Perhaps for some travellers a bit too far from neighbours or Donegal 18 minutes by car.

This cottage is in a remote but awesome location. We had two weeks of fabulous weather and views, lovely spacious cottage , owners were warm and friendly ,would love to stay again

Kieran

Great cottage in amazing remote location with every modern comfort you could ask for.

Lauren

We had a wonderful stay at Bluestack House. The remote and peaceful setting was a perfect antidote to city life. The views were gorgeous and many enjoyable hours were spent just soaking them up. It was our first visit to Ireland and the cottage was a perfect base for exploring Donegal and a little further afield. The cottage was spacious and comfy and the owners were so lovely and helpful. A couple of suggestions to improve what was an amazing visit, are as follows A few additional items in the cottage which would have been useful were a folder with some notes on to how to use the appliances, hot water, heating, etc we figured it out, but this would be a helpful addition a drying rack for dishes spare dish towel tongs for the fireplace, a starter pack for the fire there was none on arrival. All in all, a truly memorable visit. Thank you so much to the Boyles, we had a very special stay in your lovely cottage.

We had a great time. A throwback in time. The hosts were really helpful. would go there again.

Michelle

Great location loved the quiet and scenic view. House nice and spacious and very comfortable. Owners lovely. Lots to especially as a family close to Donegal town and other sites like Bundoran and Glenveagh National Park. Really enjoyed our stay here and hope to come back in the near future.

Robert

Lovely house up in the mountains with splendid views. Ideal base for touring the mountains on foot or by car, or just for unwinding in the peace and quiet and looking at the scenery. NB 15 or 20 minutes drive from Donegal the last 10 being on single track roads though little frequented and with adequate passing places in most sections of the road. It's a pity that the DVD player didn't work properly. The property could also benefit from some minor additions such as a list of what can be recycled, a washing up bowl, kitchen scissors and shower mats, as we both slipped a bit on the smooth floors of the shower cubicles.

Charlie

Incredible location wonderful hosts Noreen and Cornelius could not have been more accommodating and helpful to us. We are looking forward to returning very soon. Could not hope for better. . C&E Devaney

Very high standard of cleanliness and facilities. Very helpful owners and magnificent scenery.lf you want perfect peace and tranquillity this is highly recommended.

Geraldine

The house is in a beautiful remote area. Suited us down to the ground. No one around for miles. Good walking routes. I even managed to do some baking while I was there. The house was equipped with most things you would need. The only negative point that I have is in regard to the beds. The mattresses have seen better days. You were lying on springs. Agony. Even if they invested in ready good toppers if they dont want to replace them. Something, anything would be better. With that I would hope to be able to return someday. It was the most peaceful relaxing break Ive had in a long time.

Beautiful property, well equipped in a stunning location. Host were lovely and told us all about the area. We will definitely return.

Loved this place. Completely out of the way which suited us just fine. Great hosts also. Superb views and a chorus of sheep bleating, had a ball.

We are presently staying at Blue Stack House for a week and are so impressed. Beautiful large clean and well maintained house. Such comfortable beds a really well equipped kitchen anything you could need. Its a home from home. The views are outstanding. A place of rugged and natural beauty I dont want to go back to Dublin. Wonderful hikes from the house Noreen and Con the owners very friendly. Con told us such wonderful stories of the history of the area. Cannot recommend it enough for a peaceful holiday away from all the stress of the city. With the lovely Donegal town only a short drive away. We cant wait to come back .

We had a great time at the Blue Stack House. Superb location. Everything seemed fresh. Very clean holiday home.. you would not like to miss this home.. highly recommended. Thanks Noreen for the accommodation.

Fantastic location, perfect house and great facilities. Big tables meant we could play board games easily and it was spacious enough that we could all fit comfortably!

Mohammad

Dorothy

Wonderful well equipped holiday home. Very friendly, kind owners. We had a lovely relaxing time.

Stephen

The house was clean, safe, roomy and comfortable. The owners were kind and professional. As a family of 8 we found both the house and the remote location ideal for getting away from the routine and out into the breathtaking beauty of the Bluestacks. We are keen to return.

Judith

Beautiful holiday home, very spacious with superb views of Sligo, Mayo, Cavan and Donegal bay. 20 mins to closest beach, we visited 6. There was great mix of views, relaxation, buzz of Donegal town and great beaches including the spectacular views at Slieve League and St Johns Point. We also enjoyed the walks in the blue stacks accompanied by the sheep. We also spotted wild deer.

The owners were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had an absolutely wonderful holiday in their cottage. Clean and tidy it certainly was.

Adonis

This accommodation is for those who seek peace & tranquility without being too far from Donegal its an amazing location with sweeping views of valleys, sea and lakes. The house is tastefully finished & furnished with everything you need, plus some. Hosts are helpful, friendly and kind. It was by far the best accommodation we experienced throughout our long journey through the UK!

What an amazing cottage. The owners were very friendly and informative. They offered suggestions of places to go and things to do as it was our first visit to Ireland. The scenery around the cottage was fantastic Even the sheep were friendly.

Cathal

The house has everything. The place very peaceful I would stay again the owners very friendly and helpful.
