We had such a lovely stay! The views from the property are absolutely stunning, and the hot tub was the perfect addition. My girls especially loved spending time in the games room. The location is also ideal, with plenty of local amenities just a short drive away. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Thank you, Jillian, it's great to hear the girls made good use of the games room. Mulroy Bay has a way of keeping people on the decks and at the windows, and the hot tub in that setting is hard to beat. We hope to have you all back again.

Rae's cabin is a fantastic spot. The cabin itself is so well kitted out - everything you need for proper self-catering, including all utensils and cookware (clean, of good quality and in good order). The bed is comfortable, and the location is peaceful and quiet so we slept so well. Loved the hot tub too! Best of all, being able to bring our dogs was amazing!

Stayed in Rae’s Cabin

Davey John’s Forge

Thanks, Laura, glad you felt that too. Rae's Cabin is set up to make proper self-catering easy, right down to the kit in the kitchen, so it's good to hear that landed well. Dogs are always welcome here, and Mulroy Bay is a fine backdrop for a walk with them. Hope to see you back.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was homely and had everything we needed. We all slept well, and peacefully, in comfortable beds - a real tonic after a busy work and school year. The hot tub and sauna were such a luxury and really made our evenings, it doesn't get much better than looking across the Donegal landscape from a hot tub with happy kids toating marshmallows. The kids loved the games room, a great option if the weather turns cool. The cinema was used often, very useful for the World Cup! The Host was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. The location allows easy access to the Donegal coastline and pretty towns and villages as well as a trip to Derry city. Some wonderful memories.

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you, Roisin, it's lovely to hear that everyone switched off properly and that the beds did their job after a busy stretch. The hot tub, sauna, games room and projector all getting a proper run, with marshmallows on top, is exactly what we hope for. Donegal and Derry on the doorstep is a combination that keeps giving, and it sounds like you made the most of it. We'd be glad to have you all back.

We had such a gorgeous stay at Davey John’s forge! It cost a little more than what we would usually pay for an Airbnb, but we think it was really worth it! The cabin was beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches and top of the range appliances. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud - we had such good nights sleep! The water pressure is incredible for Donegal, and I would say even rivals our own back in Belfast. The hot tub on the covered porch was perfect, even in the drizzle, and we spent many hours watching wildlife in the neighbouring field (hares and deer!) whilst bubbling away. My husband enjoyed tinkering with the outdoor log burner for a bit f extra ambience and loved the sauna on site. The only small thing we would say is that the secure garden for dogs for the cabins just wouldn’t be secure enough in my opinion, especially with the proximity of the road and neighbouring fields - but this was okay for us for such a short stay! We will definitely be visiting again - Thankyou!

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you, Aine, it is great to hear you and your husband made the most of it, from the hot tub in the drizzle to the sauna and the chiminea. On the garden, that is a fair point worth hearing: the cabin gardens are enclosed and we do recommend keeping an eye on your dog given the road and open countryside nearby, and we will look at whether there is anything practical we can add to give a bit more reassurance. We hope to see you both back above Mulroy Bay before too long.

Thank you, Áine, this made me smile. The covered hot tub earning its keep in the drizzle is exactly why we built it that way, and you were lucky with the hares and deer, the field beside the cabins is great for them in the evenings. You make a fair point about the dog run at the cabins being best suited to short stays, and honest feedback like this helps other guests plan, we're fencing the cottage garden at the moment for exactly that reason. You'd all be very welcome back any time.

This house felt like a beautiful, private, peaceful retreat. From the hot tub, to the rolling views of the hills and the waterfront everything about the space was perfection. Our family loved each of the bedrooms, the glorious, huge family bathroom, the comfortable couches and the Long modernized stunning from kitchen. Every single component of this house was thoughtfully designed to receive and entertain. We felt so fortunate to have an opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place! The hosts were responsive, kind, and accommodating you could not ask for a better experience!

Wir haben uns in dieser Unterkunft rundum wohlgefühlt. Alles war modern, sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Da wir mit unserem Hund gereist sind, haben wir uns besonders darüber gefreut, dass auch er herzlich willkommen war. Die Küche war bestens ausgestattet, sogar Kaffeekapseln für die Kaffeemaschine standen bereit. Die Lage ist ebenfalls sehr gut, der Leuchtturm Fanad Head war mit dem Auto in etwa 25 Minuten erreichbar. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und haben uns bereits vor der Anreise per E-Mail alle wichtigen Informationen zukommen lassen. Wir können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Es freut mich, dass die gut ausgestattete Küche und die Infos vor der Anreise alles einfach gemacht haben und dass Fanad Head gut zu erreichen war. Sie sind jederzeit wieder herzlich willkommen. Thank you, Karin. It means a lot that you and your dog both felt at home here, which is exactly what I hope for.

Caitlin

We had an amazing stay here for my boyfriend’s birthday and will definitely be returning! The cabin was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was lovely, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. We were able to bring our dog along, which made the trip even more special, and she absolutely loved exploring the surroundings. The hot tub was fantastic, and the shared sauna was also excellent. Even though it was shared, we were able to enjoy it on our own, which was a lovely bonus. There was also a great BBQ area, which looked brilliant, although unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to use it because of the rain. Overall, we couldn’t fault our stay. It was the perfect place to unwind, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!

A very chill 'Dad's Day' weekend, for the Family; a super fit for relaxing and the mix of freelance working, with good WiFi . The combination of BBQ, hot tub, private garden with view, and sauna was a great mix. Shane was very responsive to any needs which were all sorted and the arrival was smooth.

Thanks Sara, it was a pleasure having you and the family for Dad's Day. That combination is exactly what we hope people find here, the BBQ and hot tub for the evenings, the private garden, and good fibre wifi for anyone who needs to fit in a bit of work.

Thank you, Shannon. You picked up on exactly what we love about this spot, Rae's Cabin is a quiet base but you're a short drive from most of north Donegal, so you can see a lot and still come back to the bay in the evening. You and Laura would be very welcome back any time.

'Described as is' is one of the best things you could have written, Rebekah.

Joelle

Airbnb · June 2026

We have some some good and bad points about Davey John's forge to help future guests. 1) The hot tub and home cinema were absolutely fantastic. The views from the hot tub over Mulroy bay were stunning. It felt private and scenic. A real luxury! Home cinema was easy to use and very impressive. 2) We were a family of 2 adults and 3 children under 5. We felt the property was quite difficult for very young children (a few small steps for different levels in the property, garden area not secure from the main road). Although high chair and equipment for kids was provided (thank you Shane!) 3) There are a few maintenance issues. A few internal doors cannot be properly closed or are extremely loud to open which hindered bedtime 4) The smell of damp was quite overwhelming at times, I'm not sure if this is fixable. 5) The noise from the 60mph road was also quite loud, though likely as country folk we are more sensitive to this than most!

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you, Joelle, this is exactly the kind of review that helps us and the next family who stays. I'm glad the hot tub and the cinema worked so well for you, and that the evenings over the bay felt private; that side of the cottage is something we love too. You've also given us real things to put right, and they're now done. The smell you noticed shouldn't have been part of your stay. We've been through the downstairs bedrooms carefully and the building itself is sound and dry, so this isn't damp in the structure; an old stone cottage just needs to breathe, and that's on us to manage. We've given those rooms a thorough sanitising treatment, we keep them well aired, and we've fitted a dehumidifier as a backup so they stay fresh. On the doors, you were right that with small children asleep any noise at all matters, and a local carpenter has now planed the sticking ones so they open and close quietly. Madge is also putting a fence around the garden, which will make it secure for little ones and pets alike. Some things we can't change, and I'd rather be honest about them: an old cottage has its steps and level changes, and the road is there. You were more than fair about both. Thank you again for taking the time, it genuinely makes the place better.

The cabin was amazing! The views were beautiful and you can get taxis really easily into downings (about a ten min drive) if necessary, but it’s just as nice staying in. Shane was really helpful and communicative the entire time.

Stayed in Rae’s Cabin

That tip about the taxis into Downings is a handy one, Sophie, and you're right that there isn't always much reason to leave once you're settled in with the view. I'm really glad the cabin looked after you, and that I could help along the way. Thanks for the kind words.

Donegal really does reward anyone who uses a base like the cottage to get out and explore, Joanne, so I'm glad it worked that way for you. Cosy and a little bit different is exactly what we wanted the cottage to feel like. I hope you make it back to this corner of the county before long.

Getting away from it all is the whole idea of the cabin, Steven, so it's good to hear it did that for you. It sits in a quiet, rural spot, and we've tried to kit it out so you don't want for anything while you're there. Thanks for taking the time to write it up.

This is a lovely cottage in a good location. We played golf at Rosapenna and this was a good option for us. Loads of fun amenities (hot tub, sauna, etc. l). Very quaint and well taken care of.

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Rosapenna is a real draw, Michael, and the cottage makes an easy base for a round with the hot tub and sauna waiting for you afterwards. Glad the amenities added something to the trip. If you're ever back for more golf, there are a few other courses within reach I'd happily point you towards.

George

Airbnb · May 2026

Lovely stay! The sauna and hot tub are incredible. Only tip I’d leave for future guests is this property isn’t directly on the water, it’s about 50 meters away. From the photos it looked like it was a waterfront property but just know that it’s not. Regardless, it’s a relaxing, peaceful place!

Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin

Davey John’s Forge

That's a fair and useful note, George, thank you. The bay is just across the road, about fifty metres off, and you're right that a photo can flatten that distance and make it look like the water is at the door. We've tried hard to show it honestly, but I'll keep working at it so the next guests know exactly what to expect before they book. Glad the sauna and hot tub still made for a relaxing few days, and that the peace of the place came through.

A trip of a lifetime is some compliment, Ian, thank you. I love that the projector got as much use for Snail and the Whale as for the sport, that mix is exactly what we hoped the room would be good for. Downings and Rosapenna being a few minutes away makes it an easy base too. Come back soon.

Aime

We really enjoyed our stay at Davey Johns Forge. We received a message a few days before with all the details, the directions were accurate and took us right there. All the other amenities were the extra touch. Absolutely pristine inside, with small little nic-nacs to help you feel right at home. The hot tub with the view is the main attraction I believe, however the fact that everything you need is right there is also a bonus! There is more than 1 cabin at the property but the privacy is 10/10! I hope we’ll go back soon, I had the best time! 😁

Stayed in Rae’s Cabin

Davey John’s Forge

What a lovely thing to read, Aime, thank you. You picked up on something we care about a lot: even with more than one cabin on the site, each should feel like it's yours alone, so I'm really glad the privacy was there for you. And the hot tub with that view does take some beating. Sounds like you'll be back, and you'd be very welcome.

Where to begin,, I stayed at Davey Johns Forge Cottage and Cabin , from Friday 3rd April to the 6th, I stayed in cabin 2 and it was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The place itself is beautiful, cozy, and very well maintained, with everything you could need for a relaxing stay. Design, layout and details are all covered 👌. One of the highlights was definitely the Hot Tub—it was fantastic and made the whole trip feel extra special. It was heated up and ready to use from arrival which was amazing, perfect for unwinding in the evenings after exploring the area. There is a ready to go BBQ for cooking and a Wood Fire Stove by the table to light well enjoying freshly cooked food from the BBQ or from cooking inside the cabin. The location is also ideal, offering a great balance of peaceful surroundings while still being convenient for getting around and seeing nearby attractions. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. I will definitely be returning there again and i am already trying to make it very soon . Thanks so much Shane, Emma and Grace, It was an amazing stay 10/10 🌟

You were right to flag it, Pamela, the place needed some attention when you stayed and that's fair. Since then we've replaced the tiling around the fireplace and taken one of the bedroom walls back to bare, lined it in tongue and groove timber to match the ceiling, and had it repainted properly. I'm glad the beds were comfortable in the meantime, and I appreciate you taking the time to be honest about it. It's exactly the kind of feedback that gets things done here.

Lovely stay in the cabin, we found the host to be very friendly and responsive and there were lots of helpful instructions. The cabin was very cosy and as described and had everything you needed. The hot tub was a lovely extra and easy to use and always warm. The only slight downside was that we hadn’t realised that the property was on a busy main road and the view down to the road in Cabin 1 wasn’t quite as we had pictured. However we couldn’t fault anything else.

Stayed in Rae’s Cabin

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you for being so fair about it, Miriam. You're right that the road is closer than a photo can really convey, and that the outlook from Cabin 1 isn't the open view some people picture, so I'll keep trying to set that out more clearly before guests book. I'm really glad the cabin itself felt cosy, that the instructions helped, and that the hot tub was always there when you wanted it. Thanks for taking the time to write such a balanced review.

Perfect family break. Couldn't fault our stay. The hot tub was spotless and ready to use, the bed linen, towels and robes were plentiful, high quality and comfortable. The house is exactly as shown in the pictures with an added bonus of a covered hot tub and gorgeous outdoor lights (much needed in Donegals precarious weather). Our host was proactive, checking on us, and helpful with any questions. Highly recommend for a family (5 of us plus a dog) as a cosy base to explore Donegal.

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

A proper family base is exactly what we hope the cottage can be, Lisa, so it's good to hear it delivered, dog and all. The smaller touches like the robes and the covered tub take a bit of thought, so I'm glad they were noticed. Thanks for the kind recommendation.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s in a great location, in proximity to everywhere we wanted to go! Beautiful scenery directly opposite the cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and sauna, both were clean and easy to use and bath robes were provided which was a great addition. Really appreciated the detailed instructions Shane sent us beforehand on how to use everything. The cabin itself was nice and clean. Our stay was 10/10 and would definitely recommend☺️ Thank you so much Shane!

Genuinely one of the loveliest Air b&bs we've stayed at. Our first time taking the wee 🐶 with us and he loved it just as much as us.

That's a generous thing to say, Lisa, thank you. First trips away with the dog can go either way, so I'm glad he settled in as well as you did. Clean, comfy and calm is just the note we want the cabin to strike. Come back any time, all three of you.

Just back from an amazing stay in Davey Johns. I couldn’t recommend it enough, I stayed in one of the cabins and have to say the facilities are to such a high standard, the cabin was always warm, the shower water pressure was amazing, they have all the utensils to cook a meal (gas hob, oven and air fryer), the jacuzzi and sauna were top of the range and to be dog friendly as well was just such an awesome added bonus. I would highly recommend to anyone especially if you’re looking to bring your pet and escape to a tranquil picturesque getaway. The beaches and woodlands are beautiful and so close by. I will definitely be back again. Thanks so much again

What a kind review, Emma. Warm throughout, great shower pressure and dog-friendly to boot, it is great when it all comes together. Thanks for sharing your pictures and for the kind review. Hope to see you and the dog back again.

We enjoyed our stay at Davey Johns Forge’s adorable Cabin 1. It’s a well maintained property with modern conveniences and attention to detail.

The location is in easy proximity to exploring beautiful places in Donegal. We’d highly recommend!

Sharon

Airbnb · January 2026

We arrived in Davey John's on a frosty but grey January Friday, but sitting in the hot tub watching the stars is honestly the best way to colour a grey day! The best way to start a new year! We had such a lovely time, the fire was cosy, the house warmed up quickly. We went to Downings beach for a walk with the dog, came back, lit the fire and the hot tub was already warmed and ready for us on our arrival! On the Saturday, we went to Carrigart beach, eat in the Galley in Downings, returned to the house, into the hot tub and the sauna is sooooo gooood! Great fun, really cosy and everything is there to make it a totally relaxing and fantastic stay. Forgot to mention the cinema experience which was also a great novelty! Loved everything about it - think I'll have to go back!

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Stars from the hot tub on a cold January night is hard to beat, Sharon, and the Galley is a great spot, glad you found it. It sounds like you made the most of the place, fire, sauna, cinema and all. Thank you for such a warm write-up, come back any time.

We had a great stay at the cabin. Everything we needed was there. Our host was very helpful and sent lots of useful information before we checked in and they also checked on us during our stay. The hot tub and sauna were an added bonus. A great way to start the new year.

Stayed in Rae’s Cabin

Davey John’s Forge

A good start to the new year is exactly what we'd hope for, Tracy. I always try to get the useful bits to you before you arrive so the stay runs itself, and the hot tub and sauna do the rest. Thanks for staying, and happy new year.

Jenna

Airbnb · January 2026

We had a lovely getaway over NYE at Davey’s Forge. Such a wonderful way to start the new year in nature, with plenty to do at the house. You could just stay here and now leave and have a wonderful escape - the hot tub, movie room, fireplace & sauna are such a treat. There is so much to do so close by too if you want to hike, walk by the sea, go to a little town like Downings… would absolutely return!

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Seeing in the new year here, in the quiet with the hot tub and the fire going, is one of my own favourite times to be at the forge, Jenna. Glad it gave you that, with plenty on the doorstep when you wanted it. We'd love to have you back.

Joerg

Airbnb · December 2025

We had a great time at the cottage. The kids loved the jacuzzi which was always accessible and in great nick. The towls and bathrobes provided were brilliant. The cottage is a bit oddly shapped, some of the doors are small and especially upstairs the stairs and door is tiny to get into the bedroom. Not suitable for tall or older people. Shane can always be contacted and he responds immediately, thanks for that. We have not used the sauna which is shared with the 2 cabins but it looks great. Would recommend the cottage

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Thanks for taking the time to leave this, Joerg, glad the family had a good stay. The cottage is a restored old Irish stone building, so the low doors and narrow staircase upstairs are part of its character, and that is a fair thing for future guests to know before they book, particularly if anyone in the group is tall or has mobility considerations. The hot tub is available around the clock, every day, so it is good to hear that worked well for the family. The sauna is there whenever guests want it, shared across the three stays at no extra cost, and well worth a visit next time.

Cahal

Airbnb · December 2025

This is our second time staying in this lovely cabin. Everything was so great the first time we came back! The new hot tub and addition of the sauna has elevated this place further. It really is the perfect peaceful getaway, we look forward to our next stay!

I booked a 2 night stay for myself, my sister and my dog so we got the cottage as it had 2 double bedrooms. The house felt like my granny's house with a lovely quaint and quirky feel about it! There's also 2 stunning cabins available here as well. All 3 spaces (2 cabins and 1 cottage) had their own hot-tub that was on, water was hot and ready to go on arrival which was fantastic. That and the sauna was what sealed the deal for me to come to Davey John's and neither disappointed! There was an abundance of towels and dressing gowns available and the kitchen in the cottage was fully stocked. Directions were crystal clear, infor for how to access the property was easy and we were left to our own devices which was lovely. Out host checked in via message a couple of times but honestly we needed for nothing! I highly recommend Davey Johns and will definitely return - hoping to stay in one of the cabins next time! Thanks for everything!!

Thank you, Lorraine, it's great to hear you, your sister and your dog had a good stay in Ruby's Cottage, and that the hot tub and sauna did their job from the moment you arrived. The cottage has its own character and it's always nice when that lands well with guests. We'll look forward to having you back, and the cabins are waiting whenever you're ready for a change of scene.

We had an amazing stay! The place is very dog-friendly! The hot tub and sauna were both 10/10! The place was spotless, the amenities inside the cottage were endless (air fryer, multiple pots and pans, kettle, coffee machine, microwave, oven, everything you can think of)!! The bed was extremely comfortable, I think we had the best sleep of our lives! Shane was extremely helpful, replying very quickly to any queries we had! His videos on the website were extremely helpful and informative, especially since it was the first time we came here. I cannot recommend this place enough! He also had posted on his website places to eat nearby and each place exceeded our expectations! We had a magical stay and cannot wait to go back! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Thank you, Jessica, good to hear the dogs settled in well alongside you. The kitchen kit, the hot tub and sauna, and the local food spots are things we put real thought into, so it means a lot to know they all landed well for the trip. We hope to see you back above Mulroy Bay before too long.

It was a great place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. With clear instructions for everything that was available. Would definitely recommend to friends and come back at some point!

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Thank you, Eliza. Clear instructions matter when you just want to arrive and settle in without fuss, so it's good to know that came through. Mulroy Bay and the wider Fanad peninsula have a way of slowing things down, and that's exactly what we hope people find here. You're very welcome back any time.

Thank you, Holly, glad you and your dog felt at home in the cabin. The enclosed garden makes a real difference for dogs, and it's good to know that came through. Hope to have you back on the peninsula before too long.

Katy Fulton

Google · September 2025

We had a fantastic week in Davey Johns Forge Cottage, it was quirky in such a good way, the sun was out so we enjoyed sitting outside every evening , the BBQ provided was 5 ⭐️ and our two teenage girls loved the hot tub in the evenings. The beds were really comfortable and the rooms were all finished beautifully. The cinema room was also first class. There are only a couple of wee things that would have made our stay even better, we would have appreciated a bit of info on local restaurants, taxi’s etc.. and the back garden wasn’t fully enclosed which was a bit of a concern with an untrustworthy pooch near the main road.. Otherwise this a really top notch spot 👍

Davey John’s Forge

Really glad the week worked out well, Katy, and that the BBQ and the cinema room were such a hit. The garden enclosure is worth knowing in advance if you are travelling with a dog, the pre-arrival WhatsApp is the best place to raise it so I can point you to the right option. Local restaurant and taxi info lives on our website and I will make sure it is easier to find. Thanks for the photos too.

Grainne NiMadaidhin

Stayed for a 2 night weekend stay with a group of 6 adults & 1 pooch. A Lovely fully equipped cottage. Excellent instructions from the owner on how to use the facilities. But kitchen table only had 4 chairs, we had to take in the 2 outside garden chairs to fit the 6 of us. Not enough seating outside for 6 adults, or a table large enough, we borrowed the couch from the sauna area in order to sit & socialise at the BBQ, Hot Tub, as this is the big attraction of the cottage, with the Beautiful Sea View from Hot Tub, BBQ area. Access to the Bay, is just that access, no beach, but lots of Beautiful Beaches close by within a short driving distance. Cottage states that it has 3 bedrooms sleeping 6 comfortably, but a set of Bunk Beds in a single room is definitely for children & not 2 grown adults, no wardrobe & this was a disappointment & it was a connecting room through the ground floor 1st bedroom, perfect as a children's room. 2 large bedroom's were very comfortable, lovely linen, plenty of towels, & robes. Upstairs bedroom has no mirror, it would be handy to have 1. Our host very kindly extended our checkout to 11am, but at 9am the gardeners arrived, with strimmers, lawnmower, blower & herbicide spraying, so we were not able to enjoy our last morning breakfast in the outside area or have the door open, because of noise & gardeners in this area and it was a beautiful blue sky morning. We were quite concerned with drift from the spraying of herbicide right outside back area on gravel of BBQ area, it was breezy, especially for the dog. Maybe the gardeners could arrive after guests have checked out? Overall a lovely Bijou Cottage, but needs 3 double separate bedroons, to accommodate 6 adults.

Davey John’s Forge

Thanks for this, Grainne, and for being fair about what worked and what did not. The gardener situation that morning was entirely on me, we had agreed a late checkout and I simply did not communicate that to the team. They arrived when they expected the place to be empty, and I should have known better. I have put a clearer process in place since. On the seating, we have since added a three-seater bench outside and two extra chairs in the kitchen, so that should be a much better experience for a group of six. I hope the rest of the Donegal trip was a good one.

What a special reason to visit, Pauline, and we're glad the whole place came together for such an important occasion.

This is such a luxurious stay! Huge beds with fancy bed linens, not the cheap stuff that’s quick to clean. Loads of big fluffy towels for everyone so we could enjoy the hot tub and sauna. We lived in the amazing bath robes and all wished we could have kept them! Lots of instant hot water, everything we needed to be comfortable and well looked after. The bbq wasn’t messing around, it would have broiled! We enjoyed the chiminea and hot tub late into evening and the projector made the living room feel like a cinema. We were so lucky with the weather, we spent most of our time outside, enjoying the gorgeous views. Can’t wait to come again next year!

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you, Katharine. The beds, linens and towels are something we do take seriously, and it's good to hear that came through, as does the news that the Kamado did its job (it is a serious piece of kit). The projector cinema, the chiminea and the hot tub into the evening is exactly the kind of evening we had in mind when we put the place together. We will look forward to seeing you back next year.

Megan

Airbnb · August 2025

This is Avery beautiful area of Ireland and we very much enjoyed exploring the area. This guesthouse was renovated from an old farm building and they have done a very nice job. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and lead to a back porch with a nice hot tub. The beds were comfortable and the house was stocked with all the needed basics. The only challenge is that there is a relatively strong musty/mildew smell which they are combatting with a dozen air fresheners. For me this was unpleasant but for someone not very smell sensitive it would likely not be a concern.

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Megan, and glad you enjoyed exploring this part of Donegal. The smell you noticed is a fair point and one we take seriously; old stone buildings can hold damp, and we would rather address the cause than mask it, so we are looking at this properly rather than relying on air fresheners. The stays are self-catering rather than a guesthouse, and each one has its own private hot tub, kitchen and entrance, so future guests can expect a private, self-contained stay. We hope the area brings you back.

David and his dog clearly had a good stay, and that is what we are here for. The cabins are kept clean and ready for guests, dogs included, and it is good to know the location worked well as a base for getting out and about.

We hope to have you both back.

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay, to relax and get away from it all. There was a real sense of luxury about the place, and it's good value for money. The place was also completely spotless, which added to the sense of luxury! Also incredibly dog friendly, our dog even made friends with the neighbours! It is located in a fairly busy road, so there's a bit of road noise that may bother some people, but you can't hear it from inside. The host was also very proactive with communication and making sure we were comfortable and had what we needed, and we're also very responsive to any queries we had. The location is great and in close proximity to some beautiful towns and some of the best beaches and scenery Ireland has to offer. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone!

We'd be glad to have you back any time.

Airbnb · July 2025

we stayed at Davy zjohn for 3 night with our 3 children and in-laws & 2 dogs. it felt like stepping back in time, old world charm with all of the modern facilities needed. hot tub was a plus for all guests, kitchen well stocked and green egg bbq very useful. big cinema screen in living room easy to use and impressed the children. only downside was upstairs bedroom is very tight to get into, low ceiling on entrance and steps little bit steep for older guests. once in the bedroom is a usual height for a cottage. lovely and spacious massive bed. would suit younger guests upstairs it was quaint and added to the donegal charm. 5 mins from carigart and 30 mins from singing pub on atlantic drive. lots to see and do nearby with a car not much to walk too. Shane was helpful and very responsive to messages. parking is great and outdoor space fresh and recently renovated. we didn't want to leave. will return for another adventure. lovely relaxing spot. Just the ticket!

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you, Lisa, and what a group to bring along, three children, the in-laws and two dogs all under one roof is a proper family trip. The point about the upstairs bedroom entrance is fair and worth future guests knowing: the low ceiling and steep steps on the way in are part of the original cottage character, and the room itself opens out to a good height once you are in, but it is worth bearing in mind if anyone in your group has mobility concerns. The Singing Pub, the Green Egg, the cinema screen, two dogs welcome and the whole crew not wanting to leave, that is exactly what Ruby's Cottage is there for. See you back at Devlinmore.

Lovely cottage what feels like rural Ireland, but still close enough to the small town of Milford and the Village of Carrikgart so you can still visit pubs or get groceries with ease. The view of Broadwater and the surrounding wilderness never got old. If you're staying in the area and want a nice cozy cottage, you can't go wrong. If you're looking because of Rally Donegal, this cottage is perfectly placed for Saturday and Sunday stages.

Davey John’s Forge

Great to read this, Eric, and the Rally Donegal connection is a first for our reviews — always nice to hear the location works that well for the stages. The Broadwater view is one of those things that genuinely doesn't get old, so I'm glad it had the same effect for you.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage with our kids and dog. It’s a beautiful part of the world, very handy for Downings beach which was great fun for a paddle and had lots of water sports available for the more adventurous. Shane was very welcoming and on hand to help us with the cinema screen and general enquiries. The downstairs double bedroom has the kids room (with bunk beds) adjoining which is particularly handy for families with younger children, but there is also a spacious double bedroom upstairs. The hot tub was great, but the view was the highlight. Loved sitting in the garden looking down at the water and the hills.

Davey John’s Forge

I’m delighted you had a nice time Kirsty. You’re right, Downings bay is a beautiful spot for swimming and the weather was perfect for you! See you again soon!

I recently stayed at Davey John's Forge cottage and cabins and I have to say this place is amazing 😍 the place to go for absolute serenity. Quiet location with a great view of Mulroy Bay. Sitting out in the hot tub with the little fairy lights just as dark starts to fall 🍁 absolute bliss!! The cabin is set up to a tee! Has everything you need at hand! The bed, best nights sleep I've had in a long time!! Location is great with a short drive to Downings and Letterkenny.. I cannot recommend this place enough.. also Shane the host is very helpful and professional. Explains everything you need to know before arriving.. so if you want a getaway for total relaxation this is the place for you.. you won't regret it, I know I don't!!

Spent two nights here at Davey Johns and we were not disappointed. The cabin was secluded and extremely private. Shane was a great host, giving us useful links before and during the trip to make sure we had all the information we needed to plan and make the most of it, including about the cabin and grounds to what was interesting nearby to do and see. The hot tub was our favourite part, with most of our evenings spent relaxing.

Davey John’s Forge

Lovely to read this, Donna. I try to get useful information out before and during every stay, so it's good to know the links actually made a difference to your trip. The hot tub looking out over the grounds on a quiet evening is hard to improve on.

We had a brilliant trip here! The area is lovely and private but also in a good location to drive to explore North Donegal! We had a great few days with our dog and then got to enjoy the hot tub and sauna in the evenings after the busy days. The place was clean, tidy and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and loved the added Nespresso machine! Would recommend anyone to stay!

Davey John’s Forge

Brilliant to hear you had a great few days, and that the dog got to enjoy North Donegal too. The hot tub after a busy day out is hard to beat. Hope to see you back soon.

Davey Johns is an excellent stay! It was spotless, well decorated, and extremely comfortable. It’s privately situated with a view of the lake, making an evening soak in the hot tub a very nice experience. There are plenty of viewpoints and gorgeous coastline within short driving distance of the cabin.

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you, Josey. The setting looking out over the bay is one of those things that really comes into its own when you're in the hot tub in the evening, so I'm glad it delivered. Very welcome back whenever you're next in Donegal.

Our trip to Davey johns was amazing the views and cabin was absoloutly gorgeous! We would 100 percent return and recommend to anyone! The cabin itself is so spacious and cosy! The bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen fully kitted with all the amenities you could need!! The hottub was so fab especially at nighttime looking across to the water and playing music! The host was great anything we needed he replied straight away and couldn’t be more helpful! Best little spot we have found so far!

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you, Amy. The hot tub at night with the view across the bay is one of those things that's difficult to fully describe until you're actually sitting in it, especially once the lights go off and the sky opens up. Very welcome back any time.

Staying in Davey John's house was amazing, everything you need in a holiday home at your finger tips. I needed to contact the owner (Shane) couple of times and the communication was second to none, very prompt. The location is great for exploring Donegal, loads to beaches nearby and restaurants within a short drive away. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking to relax (in the hot tub and newly installed sauna) or an active hiking/walking break.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Laura. It really was a pleasure to have you and the family and we hope to see you again soon.

Thank you, Kirsty. It's good to hear the cottage worked well for your family, and that the labradoodle came along too. The layout of the cottage, with the downstairs bedroom sitting alongside the bunk room, does suit families with younger children well, and it's a detail worth knowing about when choosing between the stays. Downings beach and Mulroy Bay are right on the doorstep, which makes the whole area a good base whatever the weather.

We had a great stay here. The cabin was lovely with a lot of space. Anything we messaged about we got a response quickly which was great! It was a great spot to be in to explore North Donegal. It was great that we were able to bring our dog as well! Even with poor weather on the first day we got to enjoy the hot tub and the newly added sauna - which was a great touch! Then the sun the next day meant breakfast outside and enjoying the view. Would recommend anyone to stay!

Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin

Thank you, Aoife, and glad you made the most of both days, whatever the weather threw at you. The hot tub and sauna are there for exactly those grey Donegal mornings, and it sounds like the second morning made up for it nicely. Dogs are always welcome here, and north Donegal is a fine part of the world to explore with one in tow. Hope to see you back.

Brilliant and quaint cottage suitable for a family getaway. It was very clean throughout and spotless white bed linen. We all thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub and newly installed sauna.

Also the host was very responsive as well as plenty of clear instructions provided.

Lovely little cottage in rural Ireland. Not too remote though with small towns of Carrickart being six minutes, and Milford being 11 minutes away. If you want a bigger town, Letterkenny is only 30 minutes away. The cottage itself was quaint and a nice little getaway to relax in with a beautiful view of Broad Water and the surrounding wilderness. If you're a rally fan, the cottage is perfectly located for Saturday and Sunday stages. One stage start was only eight minutes away. Hosts were very quick to respond to my many questions and were incredibly helpful. Will stay again when I come back for Rally Donegal in the future.

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you, Eric. Really glad the location worked well for the rally stages, and that we could help with your questions along the way.

We will look forward to having you back for Rally Donegal.

I recently stayed at Davey John's Forge cottage and cabins and I have to say this place is amazing 😍 the place to go for absolute serenity. Quiet location with a great view of Mulroy Bay. Sitting out in the hot tub with the little fairy lights just as dark starts to fall 🍁 absolute bliss!! The cabin is set up to a tee! Has everything you need at hand! The bed, best nights sleep I've had in a long time!! Location is great with a short drive to Downings and Letterkenny.. I cannot recommend this place enough.. also Shane the host is very helpful and professional. Explains everything you need to know before arriving.. so if you want a getaway for total relaxation this is the place for you.. you won't regret it, I know I don't!!

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und modern. Man hat einen sehr schönen Blick über die Landschaft, besonders wenn man in dem Whirlpool sitzt. Alles funktionierte problemlos. Die Außenanlagen waren etwas ungepflegt. Bei kaltem Wind konnte der Whirlpool die Temperatur im Betrieb nicht halten.

Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin

Davey John’s Forge

Thank you for such a fair review, Klaus, and glad the cabin, the view and the whirlpool worked well for you overall. The point about the grounds is taken on board. Since your stay we've brought in a landscaping team and a regular gardening schedule, so the outside space now gets the same attention as the inside. On the hot tub temperature, that's something we've also addressed. The tubs were fully replaced in 2026 with new Canadian Spa units and a specialist heating system that brings the water back up to temperature much faster, even in a Donegal wind. We hope you'll get a chance to see both improvements for yourself.

Lovely cottage beds very comfy and lots of hot water Not sure if you could have hot water without putting heating on we didn’t quite figure that one out if I had one comment would be to make more obvious where the complimentary tea and coffee is maybe a small carton of milk in fridge. Plenty of plates and utensils Matching set of mugs would be icing on the cake but that’s being very picky sorry Shane You cottage was lovely we had a great weekend and have recommended to friends Hot tub was great and the cinema/TV was brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻

I thought the locstion was good but didnt match my expectations wifi did not work the cups had chips in them needs attention. Shower curtain was moulded needs attention.

Davey John’s Forge

Hi Dee, I’m very sorry we didn’t live up to your expectations. It’s a pity you didn’t message me during your stay. The WiFi is working as expected and I would have helped you to connect had I known you were having difficulties. We have plenty of extra pillows available and could have dropped some in to you. The hot tub water was only recently changed too and we check the chemicals regularly. If you have a look at the message history you’ll see that I checked in with you on your first day with us but I didn’t get a reply so assumed everything was going well. All the same, I’ve passed your feedback to our cleaning team who will take it all on board.

Shane has been a very considerate host, we had to postpone our stay two times and he accepted that request. This is a very calm and quiet place for a short stay, however, since this is a pet friendly place, there could be pet hair on the sofa, which if u are not a pet person you might not feel comfortable about it. Other than that, if you want to spend time with your partner or wants to have some alone time, this is a very good place to be.

We had a lovely stay in Cabin 1 which is in a great location with a lovely hot tub. Lots of places to visit nearby. The cabin is comfortable and fully furnished. Never stayed in a place where one of the best bluetooth portable speakers provided. Lots of choice on tv and as I mentioned before the blue tooth speaker was great to listen to our music while relaxing in the hot tub Kitchen is well equipped, and although there are a few restaurants close by, we did use the air fryer once which was convenient. Bed was comfortable and Shower was always hot. The entire house was well insulated and was always warm. Shane is very responsive and helpful and kept in touch as and when we needed anything. I feel bad I disturbed him during his Christmas eve dinner with his family by asking couple of questions🙈🙈. I would certainly recommend cabin which is located in a amazing surrounding.

I brought my partner here for a suprise for our anniversary at Shane's place : Davey Johns cottage and cabins. We stayed in Cabin 2. And to say this place is spectacular is an understatement but I will try write with words how our experience went. From the second we walked in there was a bunch of roses left out followed by flowers an chocolates placed on the bed with a bottle of Prosecco that was chilled all from request the hosts did amazingly. The decor is modernly an beautifuly decorated throughout. The bed is something else iv never slept in such a comfortable bed in all my life had the best sleep me and my partner as it is so quite and very very comfortable bed. The setting outside is the best setting for romantic vibes with peaceful as you have your own hot tub which you can use 24/7 which is a huge bonus, you have your own fire stove also that you can sit beside taken in the stars sipping on a glass of wine or beer. Lights above hottub gives off a nice romantic chill vibe. Shane was very responsive to all my questions and he's instructions where very clear. Absolute brilliant host. We will be back to this place AGAIN. The views around the area are absolutely breathtaking. I think to understand this place you gotta stay here to experience what it has to offer. I highly recommend this stay 110percent. We Will Be Back!!

Davey John’s Forge

Those are very kind words, Stephen, and I'm glad the stay lived up to them. The interior was designed by Gina McGarvey, who sourced a lot of the elements locally, so it's good to hear the decor made an impression. The anniversary request was a pleasure to arrange — those are the stays I enjoy preparing for most. The fire stove on a clear night with the hot tub going is the combination that makes Cabin 2 feel like it's entirely your own.

We made use of the hot tub and the fabulous hot (& powerful) shower; we didn’t use the cooking facilities at all but it looked great - complete with airfryer! The location was perfect (hubs golfed and I hiked). I’d highly recommend this spot. We had a lovely dinner in Carrigart (and the Centra there is a one-stop-shop for all your needs!).

I recently stayed at this quaint and charming cottage. It was such a lovely trip, it was the middle of winter and we had a cosy warm and comfortable stay. The cottage boasts modern amenities you might not expect of a cottage such as a hot tub and projector screen with access to all your streaming preferences. It was a very enjoyable escape from the city and in the heart of one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland. (even in the winter)

A winter stay is something a lot of people don't consider, but Donegal in the colder months has its own character entirely. Thanks for the photos too, Evin — the hot tub and the projector come into their own on a dark evening, so I'm glad both delivered.

Booking.com · July 2024

1. Quaint little cottage in a beautiful location. 2. The owners were very responsive and as helpful as they could be. 3. The projector was great for watching films and the England Euro matches 4. The beds were comfortable 5. The kitchen facilities were good. 1. We had our booking changed from the 3 bed log cabin to this cottage without any consultation first. We kept the booking because it 'seemed' it would still be suitable enough and still had a hot tub. But I would have appreciated the owners contacting us to explain why the booking had been changed. We still don't know why it was changed and I haven't asked because my feeling is I shouldn't have to ask for an explanation. 2. We were unable to use the hot tub at the cottage for the entire week because of two separate issues with it. Much to our frustration, we had no offer of compensation such as a small refund for this. Having a hot tub was one of the main reasons we went with Davy John's accomodation. 3. We were 6 adults staying in this cottage, 2 couples and 2 single males. This cottage is absolutely not suitable for 6 adults and it should not be advertised as so. One bathroom between 6 adults was really hard to manage in the mornings and evenings when we were all getting ready to go on our diving trip or when we got home after being out all day. It was also not made clear at all that the ground floor double bedroom and bunk bed room were essentially conjoined. So you had to walk through the double bedroom to get to the bunked room. Not pleasant for the couple in that room. Even though there was a privacy blind it made my friends bedtimes not very nice with essentially complete lack of privacy because they had two single males using their room as a thoroughfare to their bedroom. Had this been made clear on the booking I would have cancelled the booking without hesitation. 4. To have the hot water you had to turn on the boiler and keep the thermostat up. This made the heating come on. We could not find a way to switch off the radiators in the livingroom and hallway etc. So we had to sit there and roast whilst we had showers with all the doors and windows wide open. Not efficient or environmentally friendly and expensive for the owners...

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

Hi Francesca, Thank you for the fair and detailed review, including the kind words alongside the criticism. Reading it back, you deserved better on several counts, and there's no excuse I'd want to offer. You're right that the booking change should have come with a proper explanation and a conversation, not just a notification. You're right that a hot tub out of action for the whole week deserved a gesture from us, and I'm sorry we didn't make one. And the cottage's layout, including the fact that the bunk room is reached through the ground floor double, should have been completely clear before you booked, so the group arriving could decide for themselves whether it suited them. Your stay prompted real changes. Every listing now describes the cottage's layout and bedroom arrangement explicitly, so the room configuration is never a surprise. The hot tubs that let you down have all been replaced this year with new Canadian Spa tubs, and we've invested in a specialist heating unit that brings the water back up to temperature within an hour of a service, so a tub is never out of action for arriving guests the way yours was. And we speak to every guest directly before arrival, so nothing about the booking is ever a mystery. We're glad the location, the beds, and the projector worked for you, and sorry the rest of the week didn't match. Thank you for taking the time to spell it out; it genuinely shaped how we run the place now.

Booking.com · July 2024

Nothing The fact our booking was cancelled without any contact. Which then in the next email was telling us we had secured pod1 with the email for passkeys instructions etc. then only to be greeted by another couple who claimed to be in our pod also. I rang Shane the host who wasn’t helpful his attuide was disgusting basically just blamed it on booking.com saying they send that email to everybody automatically which I highly doubt given the details in the email about keys passcodes etc Basically told me he was driving in Germany and it wasn’t his fault. Meanwhile me and partner who had travelled over 2 hours to this place to be then left with no accommodation. Avoid at all costs

Stayed in Rae’s Cabin

Davey John’s Forge

We're sorry this happened, and we understand the frustration of arriving after a long drive to find a problem with your booking. The honest account: this was one of our very first bookings through Booking.com, and a fault in the calendar integration we had just set up meant the cabin was double booked. We tried for over a week before hand to reach the guest through the contact details Booking.com provided, but the email went unanswered and the phone number on the booking was incorrect, so we had no way to warn anyone before arrival. On the day, the person who arrived wasn't the named guest on the booking, which added to the confusion for everyone, and I was abroad at the time and didn't handle the call as well as I should have. None of those changes what the day felt like for you (or the person you had made the booking for), and we're sorry for it. We fixed the integration immediately, it has never recurred, and direct communication with every guest before arrival is now a fixed part of how we operate. We'd like to think the reviews we've received since reflect that.

Everything was on demand, the hot tub, instant hot water for showers, WiFi, streaming, and modern and comfortable. I was really grateful to be trusted with my two dogs and share my holiday with them. The garden isn't enclosed so would recommend keeping dogs on a lead as its near the road, but the listing doesn't claim to have this, so I expected it. The divide between the two cabins was a nice touch, and the cabins are far enough apart that there's not too much noise overlap, although if I had a problem with noise, I feel like the host would be responsive.

We especially loved the large projector screen which made the evenings with our small child very special. The garden was great for our dog, giving him a safe place to run around while we were there.

Shane’s cabins are incredible. We spent a lot of time searching various properties in the area and Shane’s cabins were by far superior and for a reasonable price. Shane was proactive and welcoming in his communication, the cabins are beautifully decorated and well kitted out with everything you could need for a remote weekend away. Endless beaches and beautiful hikes on your doorstep, friendly local bars and a spotless hot tub to enjoy in the evening. Great facility for dogs also - secure gate and garden area for them.

Fantastic accommodation with all the amenities you could ever need and more. It’s often hard to please everyone and even with a large age range in our group we all loved Davey Johns Forge. A great mix of modern and traditional and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or book again. Shane was an amazing host, he left comprehensive instructions and guide books so there is no real need to ask for anything, but when I did reach out he was on the ball with his responses and also checked if everything was going well half way through the stay. I cannot fault accommodation or host!

Myself and my husband enjoyed four days in cabin 2 and we absolutely loved it! The cabin was clean and tidy and it had everything we needed for our stay. The decor is gorgeous and so luxurious :) we loved the hot tub so much and the fact that it was always ready to go was fantastic. The tv was set with everything we could have possibly wanted to watch with all the streaming services available. The bed was sooo cosy! It was hard to get out of it in the morning. I’m glad we did though because we had the most peaceful and tranquil escape in Carrigart. The views from the cabin were absolutely breathtaking and we drove into Letterkenny to visit tropical world which was so much fun! If you are thinking about booking a stay just do it! You will not regret it! Myself and my hubby are home now and feeling very refreshed and rejuvenated. Also amazing that pets are allowed and we will be sure to bring ours next time! :) thanks so much ❤️

Shanes cottage is a charming and rustic place to get away from the city. We visited in the depths of winter to a very cosy and comfortable environment. The hot tub was the perfect temperature and a lovely little addition to the property. You are a short drive from Downings and the natural beauty that the area offers - a full selection of streaming options made the winter evenings inside feel just like a home away from home. Detailed instructions, and information along with helpful video guides make the visit to this cottage seamless.

Lovely wee cabin close to many scenic locations! The air fryer was definitely a hit for dinner and the TV had loads of viewing platforms to choose from. Shane was very prompt, friendly and helpful with his communication and check in was super easy. A few downsides were that the hot tubs never reached a temperature where they could be used (which was the main reason we chose this location) and also there was 1 bed rather than the 2 that Airbnb listed. If those things were in order the stay would’ve otherwise been perfect.

Shane sent us very detailed information in regards to check-in, how to use the entertainment system, heating, hot tub etc. My favourite part is the video tutorials he had ready for us. He was very responsive and friendly. The all the amenities available worked and were in pristine condition. Every bed was very comfortable even the bunk beds! The cabin has extremely high quality cotton duvet covers. We were able to cook and enjoy a nice breakfast with the 7 ring gas stove (hence the late check out, sorry!) I 100% recommend!

Superb cabin. Stayed with my wife and our dog for one night. Short drive to some great places like Downings and Dunfanaghy so this was a really good base. We also really enjoyed relaxing at the cabin and use of the hot tub outside. Enjoyed the sport on the tv as well - many channels and movies etc to choose from after a long drive so was nice to shill for a few hours. Highly recommend staying here and all the instructions and comms were really clear.

Had a very relaxing time and the weather was perfect, no rain and little wind. Hard to believe for Donegal but such a lovely break away. Thanks. Couldn’t really fault it but if I had to say something it would be there was no local information leaflets on things to do, places to eat etc. Im having to be really picky to say something.

Glad the weather played ball for you Tracy, no rain and little wind in Donegal is worth celebrating. Really pleased the cabin and the hot tub hit the mark, and that it worked for you and the dog. The point about local info is a fair one. We've put a lot of work into the local area section of our website as the best way to keep that information current and in one place, rather than printed leaflets that date quickly or walk out the door with guests. Worth a look if you're ever planning a return trip. You're very welcome back any time.

Such a beautiful place to stay. Felt like a home away from home and was so clean and cosy. The hot tub was amazing, we spent most of our weekend in it! The cabin had everything you would need for your stay and the host was so lovely too. The bed was probably the most comfy bed I've ever slept in! The area was quite peaceful and there's a lake across the road which we could see from the cabin. Only about a half hour drive from Letterkenny which wasn't bad at all! Would definitely recommend 👌🏻

Davey John’s Forge

It's a pleasure to read this, Amanda. "Home away from home" is exactly what we're trying to achieve, so that means a lot. The view across Mulroy Bay from the cabin is one of those things that catches people by surprise — glad it had the same effect. Hope to see you back.

Took our two cockapoos to Shane’s cabin for the night and we were delighted with the accommodation especially considering it was pet friendly! Kitchen was fully equipped and all amenities such as towels etc provided. The area which the cabin is situated is restrictive in terms of walking as it’s close to a busy main road, but Downings beach is only a 10 minute drive away. The only issue we had with our stay was a large volume of flies which we assume came from the lough which you can visibly see from the cabin. However, we quickly resolved the issue with a can of bug spray which we left for the next set of guests arriving. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend to anyone visiting Donegal with their furry friends.

Hi Ben, thanks for your feedback. It's part of our routine to double check that the tubs are set to 38 when servicing the tubs between guests.

It was a great experience, the only issues I’d say there was is the fact the place has lots of earywigs everywhere and the bed had what seemed to be pet fur or something. The bathroom was very cleans and smelled like bleach when we came in which is great. There was also a stain on the couch.

Stayed in Rae’s Cabin

Davey John’s Forge

Hi Caroline, thank you for the review and the valuable feedback. You're the first person to mention earwigs inside the cabin to us so I asked our cleaning team to go through the cabin today and pay special attention for insects of any kind. Thankfully they didn't see any. The only thing I can think of is perhaps you left the windows open and one or two may have come in that way? It is unusually hot in Donegal at the moment so I can understand why you might have. With regard to the pet fur. We really don't know what this could be. Your cabin was prepared with fresh bedding as always so there couldn't have been anything left behind from a previous pet. Nevertheless I have also brought this to the attention of the team here.

Self Check-in ist ein grosser Vorteil und Shain erklärt in kurzen Videos alles was man wissen muss. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Auf den ersten Blick war allee sauber aber auf den zweiten Blick sah man doch in vielen Ecken Staub und teilweise Flecken, aber wirklich nicht dramatisch auffällig. Und die Lichtfunktion am Hottub hat nicht funktioniert (auch nicht schlimm). Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt.

We had a wonderful break in Shane's cabins. It is definitely an excellent place to go if you want peaceful surroundings, excellent views, and a comfortable stay. Shane was incredibly proactive with his messages to us and wanted to make sure we had the best experience. His instructions were clear and the accommodation was perfect. Would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in such a stay.

We booked a weekend getaway in Donegal and this Airbnb was fantastic. The kitchen was fully equipped with gas stove/cutlery/dishwashing soap. The bathroom was very clean with all amenities provided. The bed was very comfortable. The best was the hot tub especially during the cold winter! The weather on one of the days was pretty rough so we stayed in and there was Wi-Fi and TV to use. Shane was very responsive and helpful in answering any questions we had. Overall a wonderful stay. 10/10 recommend.

We stayed 4 nights over Christmas and had a great time, it was an amazing place and exactly as advertised. The area is beautiful, I really recommend Ards Forest park which has a beach and a huge bay which our dog really loved as there was a lot of space to run. There is a town a few minutes away when we needed to do a bit of shopping. They have a website which is really helpful with video walk throughs on how everything worked. I really recommend this as a place to stay

Myself and my partner had the most amazing stay here on Saturday night! We were looking for a relaxing night away due to our hectic work lives and this place was perfect. From talking with Shane at booking until we locked the doors to head home on Sunday it was such an easy stay. The cabin itself is beautiful, so nicely decorated and very cosy with a big comfortable bed and the hot tub just topped it off, being ready for us to use anytime at all during our stay! We brought our own food with us to cook, but there are lots of options within a 10 minute drive also. We loved every minute and definitely plan on coming back next year!

Excellent luxurious log cabin! Great location to explore N. Donegal. Shane the host was so helpful before and during our stay. The personal touches like videos how to work the hottub made it all so easy. And so enjoyable! The hottub in the moonlight was our personal highlight after a long day exploring and dinner each evening. Also a huge range of tv channels meant one rainy morning was well spent on Disney+ viewing :) 10 out of 10! Thanks!

Shane's cabin was a delight. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and Shane's communication and the cabin info he provides makes staying there even more enjoyable. It was a nice change from our other holiday lodging plans...we cooked some meals for ourselves, relaxed in the hot tub, made friends with the cows and bull behind the cabin, and took a wee bit of...not downtime, but we slowed down a much-needed bit in the middle of our long whirlwind Ireland holiday. The location is rural but not too remote; there are small shops, a grocery, gas stations and a few dining options nearby. The view of Mulroy Bay and across it from the cabin is grand and, while the weather for our stay in October could have been better, it almost didn't matter while soaking in the tub with a protective overhang, some privacy, and a nice beverage.

We recently stayed in the cabin with our two furry friends. we had a wonderful and relaxing time. Everything within the cabin was wonderful- the furnishings, the accessories, the appliances, the spaces and of course the hot tub. There's access to the waterfront across the road. it's a lovely location with Carrigart and Downings less than 10 mins away. You can explore further afield as well (recommend some hours in Ards Forest), but we really just enjoyed some beach and forest walks, and then chilling in the cabin in the evening. the kitchen has ample space to cook comfortably. The hot tub is a lovely treat, finished by a lovely shower. The TV was greatlynpositionednto give it an in screen cinema feel. We had a green patch next to the cabin where the dogs could stretch and go to the bathroom when needed. Our eldest dog has great recall and doesn't roam. Our latest rescue was on lead and suspect she will be a roamer (aka handful) so would need to keep an eye on her in future! Would recommend this spot for something different. Shane was a great communicator and even has videos to explain certain functions. We will be recommending to friends for sure.

we really enjoyed our stay. the cabin is really clean and beautifully decorated. it is obvious that there has been alot of thought and care put into it to ensure the guests are comfortable and relaxed. great hot tub, comfy bed, very quiet & good kitchen for cooking. we brought our dog who enjoyed his stay & long walks on close beaches (great one over the harry blane bridge which we had all to ourselves a few times). as the site is shared with another cabin and main gate isnt always closed we did have to keep an eye on him when he was outside the cabin. other than that we hope to return next year.

Stayed here for 4 days, the cabin was beautiful and decorated to a high standard, bedroom was lovely, bed was so comfy and we had a great sleep each night, kitchen area has everything you need for your stay, and shower had great water pressure, It was a great location to base yourself to see all that Donegal and surrounding areas has to offer, very peaceful and quiet, Hot tub is a great feature and we spent our evenings sitting in it, if I did have to nip pick, I would say that hot tub does need to be emptied and cleaned as you can see a lot of scum residue built up on sides and also can feel some small pebbles on the base of it, Other than that we did enjoy our stay and we look forward to visiting again really soon

Shane was also a great host, super communicative and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here, the only regret was not being able to stay longer!

The only regret being not staying longer is a lovely thing to read, Draven. It's a pleasure to know the hot tub being ready to go from the moment you arrived made the impression it did — that's something we work hard to get right. Hope to welcome you back for longer next time.

It was absolutely great and you can use it even if its raining as it is under the roof! Shane is an amazing host and checked back on us throughout our stay. The whole property is absolutely spotless and another great thing about it - its pet friendly 🙌 overall amazing stay, thanks again!

It's lovely to read this, Joanna. The fact that the hot tub is sheltered so you can use it whatever the weather is one of those details that makes a real difference — especially in Donegal. Glad the stay delivered from start to finish and that your pet got to enjoy it too.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin - it was the perfect place to relax and recuperate. The sofa was so comfy, TV had everything you could possibly need and we ended up having our meals in as everything we needed to cook was right there. We enjoyed trying out the airfryer too! We had some bad weather while there which wasn't a problem as we could hop in the hot tub and relax as it's covered by the porch. We were unlucky enough to experience a few power outages during our stay which affected the whole Millbay area but Shane was in contact with us giving us advice and there were also back up LED lights which came on in the cabin when this happened so we weren't left sitting in the dark. The location is perfect for exploring, with Fanad lighthouse, Glenveagh national park and the Donegal Boardwalk all on our list of places we ventured to from the cabin and would recommend! The comfiest bed and a great shower made it hard to want to return home. Shane contacted us a few times during our stay to check everything was ok which we really appreciated.

The cabin is very clean, spacious and has all the utilities you could possibly need. The bed is a great size and is very comfortable. The hot tub is amazing also with a nice view across the lough. The property is close to Dunfanaghy and Downings where there are some beautiful drives along the wild Atlantic way and spectacular beaches. There are also some great walks not too far away - I would recommend the Glenveigh National Park. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back.

Just back from an incredible stay here! We had the most relaxing weekend in cabin 2 chilling in the hot tub, watching Netflix (loved how the tv had Netflix, Amazon prime, Disney+) & just enjoying the peace & quiet that comes with this beautiful cabin😌 The views are amazing, the cabin is absolutely spotless & so well presented! Shane is an amazing host, always just a message away & so quick at replying! Can’t wait to visit again!

My husband & I had the most wonderful stay in cabin 2. Shane was a fantastic host from start to finish, easy to get in contact with no matter what we needed! Check in was easy & secure. We couldn’t believe how beautiful the cabin was when we went inside. A stunning kitchenette, living area, beautiful bedroom & super comfy bed & a lovely bathroom with a super shower! The heating system is so easy to use with an adjustable thermostat which was great for a very cold weekend!❄️ We had a lovely time sitting watching Netflix & having a glass of wine in the hot tub after a long walk! An utterly perfect experience that we will not forget! Cannot wait for our next visit some day! Going to recommend here to everyone I know!!!!!😄😄

I could not recommend this cabin enough. It was spotless cosy and the prefect retreat for two busy parents looking to get away. Shane is always so good at replying to any message. The cabin is in a picturesque setting with amazing views. Amazing hikes if you are like us and love to hike or explore one of the many close beaches. Close to shops and the eircode will bring you straight to the door. We will be back again as due to Irish weather I never got the chance to have my coffee outside and take in the amazing views.

This place is little hidden gem in the most idyllic location, just a stones throw from some of the most beautiful beaches and view points on the wild atlantic way. The host has taken no shortcuts with this place. The bed and sofa bed were incredibly comfortable. The shower was fantastic. The kitchen facilities impecable. Sitting in the hot tub over looking the water with a fire burning really was the icing on the cake after a long winter stroll around Fanad head and Portsalon beach. We took two toddlers and a dog with us and the cabin was very comfortable for all of us. The wifi speed in incredible too. No expence has been spared here. The communication with host was fantastic. He gave us really excellent recommenadations on places to eat and visit. We will absolutely definitely be back.

What a wonderful wee find!! The cabin was absolutely perfect and had everything we needed for a great few days. Spotlessly clean and super cosy! We loved that just across the road there was easy access to the lake so we could use our paddleboard. The fact that it's pet friendly and a 10 mins drive from An Síbín Ceoil is a bonus!

The place was spotless and the kitchen had everything I needed to cook all of our meals for the 3 days. Shane had left a lovely wee gift on arrival which was a generous touch. Shane is a great host, extremely helpful and did everything possible to make our stay comfortable, including giving us local recommendations. This cabin is pet friendly too which was lovely as we were able to bring our little dog. We will definitely be back as the location was perfect, only 10 mins from Downings and other beautiful beaches. The cabin was cosy and just perfect.

What a wonderful spot! The cabins are truly stunning, beautifully and comfortably decorated, well equipped and done to an incredibly high standard - even Netflix and Prime! The location is great, quiet and private. It’s also well connected to all the main tourist spots in the area including Fanad Head Lighthouse, Dowings Beach and Golf Course, Ards Friary and Forest Park, and Doe Castle. Shane is also a great host. He was really proactive and responsive in all communications, made us feel really welcome when we arrived and helped with suggestions for things to do. I can’t recommend it enough and I will definitely be back!

Retreat to Davey John’s Cabin This place is a kin to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia. You couldn’t ask for a nicer place to runaway from it all. Tucked away behind the old blacksmith’s forge and seamlessly run by Shane from the Forge Cottage is Davey John’s cabin. This place is a hidden gem in north Donegal. The cabin was so immaculately presented I thought I was the first guest to tip over its threshold. The cabin is toasty warm with adjustable thermostat. There is everything you could need in a kitchen, gas hob & oven, all utensils, cutlery etc. In the living area - it is beautifully decorated with the couch long and comfortable. Large screen adorns the far wall where Netflix, Prime etc are provided free of charge by Shane. The bed is kingsize fit for a queen !! And you will sink into restful sleep after days of fresh air, sight seeing and plenty of local foods. The Chimenea is just outside your cabin door , again Shane will provide you with all the firewood you could ask for - relax outside on the outdoor sofa , listen to birdsong with the wind singing through trees, looking out over Mulroy Bay, glass of wine in hand. I even cooked atop the chimenea- locally sourced fish of course. You couldn’t ask for a more peaceful romantic setting to take a break from ‘it’ all. One thing is for certain - I will be back, perhaps a winter break ❤ Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference

This cabin is fantastic! It is the perfect escape from busy day-to-day life and has everything you need for a relaxing break. Directions and instructions from Shane on how to get there and the check-in process were great and we had no issues for our stay. Shane kept in contact throughout the stay to make sure everything was going well and replied quickly to messages I sent about any suggestions/recommendations. Would highly recommend this to anyone (in fact, already have) and have no doubt that I will be booking again in the future!

Thank you, Kiava. That sense of escape from the day to day is exactly what I hope people find at the cabin, so it's good to read this. I always try to stay reachable during a stay without getting in the way, and I'm glad the local suggestions helped. Thank you for recommending us, and you would be very welcome back any time.

Words cannot even describe how much of an amazing time we had here. The log cabins are absolutely beautiful and I used the opportunity for myself and my best friend from London to have a girls trip. Shane was an absolute legend of a host and could not have been more welcoming. Mulroy bay is absolutely gorgeous and we had some great fun in the local pubs. Would go as far as to say it was the best trip of my entire life. X

We had a wonderful stay in this cosy cottage in a beautiful part of the country. Lots of stylish decorative touches, and the lounge and master bedroom were lovely. Shane, our host, was extremely helpful and communicative, and responses to requests straightaway. The lovely bay is right across a (fast but quiet) road from the front of the cottage and Shane had a kayak available if desired; there was good outside space; excellent location with close proximity to amazing beaches and scenery. In all, a great place to say.
