Google · August 2025 High quality and luxurious stay. Everything is to a high spec - high quality sheets, shower, towels, robes, bbq, furniture and AV. It has stunning scenery. It’s not joking when it describes itself as a spa!
The kids turning the living room into their own cinema is always lovely to hear, Katharine, that is exactly what it is there for. Very welcome back.
Google · August 2025 Fantastic stay at Davey John's Forge. Gorgeous cottage, really cosy and some lovely unique features, it was easy to tell that the place was renovated by people who really cared about the end result.. Shane was super responsive as a host, sent really clear instructions for everything and was a massive help when we left a bag behind!! Would definitely recommend to friends and family and we will hopefully stay again next time we're in Donegal.
Google · August 2025 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.
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.
Google · August 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 👍
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.
Google · August 2025 My partner and I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Davey Johns Forge this weekend. The cabin was spotless and beautifully decorated, in a quiet and peaceful location, which was exactly what we were looking for. The hot tub made it even more relaxing! Shane was a fantastic host and very responsive to any queries. Thank you for a lovely stay ☺️
Thank you for the kind words, Jenny. A clean, quiet spot where you can properly switch off is what we aim for, so this is lovely to read. You're very welcome back any time.
Google · August 2025 Great host, beautiful cottage, hot tub was great.
Thank you for staying with us Patricia. It was lovely to have you
Google · August 2025 We had an amazing stay in cabin 1. Beautiful cabin with a lovely view - very warm and clean, the hot tub was really relaxing. Overall it had a really cozy feel and was nice location to enjoy a quiet weekend. Shane is a great host, very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend!
Google · August 2025 Couldn’t recommend this stay enough. The cabin was immaculate and so private with beautiful views. The hot tub is amazing and the new sauna is a great addition. The host Shane was very helpful with any questions we had. Will 100% be coming back here again!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Emma. It was a pleasure to have you. Hopefully we’ll have more time to spend in the sauna during the winter when you visit again.
Google · August 2025 Wonderful location and cabin - great to be able to bring the dogs, and the hot tub was an absolute treat! It was exactly as promised and a great escape - hope to be back!
Google · August 2025 I had a great 3 night stay here last week with my baby and dog. It was brilliant and served as a perfect location to explore North Donegal. Will certainly be back!
It was a real pleasure to have you Christopher. Thank you for the kind words!
Google · August 2025 Amazing venue with beautiful views !
Thank you, Thomas. Great to have you with us and glad the views made an impression. Hope to see you back in Donegal again.
Google · August 2025 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.
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!
Google · August 2025 Beautiful location, lots to do within a short distance. House was clean and had excellent amenities. Loved the hot tub with a view. Hosts very quick to respond and super helpful
Google · August 2025 We absolutely love Davey Johns Forge. We usually stay in Cabin 2, we have been 4 times now and every time is fab! Shane is so attentive and is there to answer any questions. The place is always lovely and clean and the hot tub too. We had asked for a later checkout and they moved things around in order to accommodate us. We will be coming here for a long, long time! Big fans.
Google · August 2025 Had a superb few nights here. Really couldn’t recommend enough. Shane was a fantastic host & made great recommendations for our stay. Facilities top notch, hot tub and the newly opened sauna was a real plus. Well worth the money. Old Glen bar for a meal and a stunning pint topped off a great few days. Will be back for sure 👏
It was lovely to have you stay with us Colm. We were blessed with the weather so you had a chance to see Donegal at its finest :)
Google · August 2025 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.
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.
Google · August 2025 Really enjoyedbit sayed up the with my family had a lovely time
Thanks for the positive feedback Callum
Google · August 2025 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!
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.
Google · August 2025 An amazing luxurious escape to stay, which is dog friendly and among some of the most beautiful landscapes and beaches in Ireland. Would highly recommend this place to stay for anyone!
We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay Claire. Ditto on the beaches nearby. We’re truly spoiled!
Google · August 2025 Would 100 % recommend a stay here in davey johns forge cottage and cabins, my husband and I recently stayed in one of the cabins and I have to say it was the most enjoyable trips we have had away. The cabin is so cosy, spotlessly clean and has absolutely everything you could need and more for a most relaxing and enjoying stay. We will most definitely be back 😀
Thank you Natalie for taking the time to leave a review. It was a pleasure to have you both.
Google · August 2025 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.
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.
Google · August 2025 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!
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.
Google · August 2025 Highly recommend. Great place to stay for a weekend or a week. Cabins are suburb with everything you need with a hot hub overlooking a lovely view of the bay. The new sauna is a nice touch.
Thanks for the kind words Kev! We’re looking forward to your next visit.
Google · August 2025 Davey and John’s forge a total escape! Super peaceful and just what I needed to relax and recharge. Loved how quiet and comfy it was—definitely coming back. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a break away!
Peaceful and a chance to recharge, that's exactly what we're trying to achieve here, so it's great to hear it delivered. Hope to welcome you back whenever you're ready for another escape.
Airbnb · August 2025 We really enjoyed our stay here. The space was well used both inside and out, and near Carrigart town. we were two couples but this would also work for families too. would highly recommend
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thank you, Rebecca, it's good to hear the stay worked well for the four of you. You're right that the cabin suits couples perfectly, and Ruby's Cottage next door means families or bigger groups can make a full trip of it too. Hope to have you back on the bay sometime.
Airbnb · August 2025 Davey Johns Forge was an excellent spot, the hot tub & sauna were amazing and everything had really clear video instructions. Beds were really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The cottage was really quirky but in a good way. Shane was a very responsive host although no real issues as instructions were so Overall a really top notch spot !!
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thanks, Katy, glad you felt the cottage's character worked in your favour. The video guides are something we put real thought into, so it's good to know they did the job. Ruby's Cottage is one of those places with its own personality, and the kitchen and beds are somewhere we genuinely try not to cut corners. Hope to have you back on the bay sometime.
Airbnb · August 2025 Lovely place to stay, easy to drive to all the nice spots around the area. Hot tub & sauna as good as shown.
Stayed in Rae’s Cabin
Thank you, Aisling. The access to the peninsula and the beaches really is one of the best things about being up here at Devlinmore. Good to hear the hot tub and sauna did what they promised. Hope to have you back sometime.
Airbnb · August 2025 Fantastic place to get away and unwind , loved the jacuzzi and sauna
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thanks, David. The hot tub and sauna are exactly what most people come here for, and it's good to hear they did the job. Both are available any time of day, year round, so future guests can make the most of them whatever the weather or the hour.
Airbnb · August 2025 A great little hideaway in a beautiful area. A very private spot with lovely view. Would definitely stay again when anting to come back to the area.
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Glad you felt that too, Denzil, and thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The position above Mulroy Bay is one of those things that is hard to put into words until you are actually sitting out there. We would be happy to have you back any time.
Airbnb · August 2025 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
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.
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
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.
Airbnb · August 2025 We just fell in love with the location! The cabin was perfect! It was cosy, private with a stunning view as you relaxed in the hot tub. Friendly and accommodating host, and dog friendly! Can’t wait to return
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Lucia, thank you for leaving a review, and glad you and your dog felt at home. The hot tub with that view over Mulroy Bay is one of those things you have to sit in to properly appreciate. We will look forward to welcoming you back.
Airbnb · August 2025 We had a lovely week in Davey John's Forge. it was all that we expected and more. A super location for relaxation and chilling out!!
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thank you, John. Mulroy Bay has a way of doing that to people, and it's good to know the week gave you the rest you were after. Hope to see you back on the peninsula before long.
Airbnb · August 2025 what beautiful accomadation we had everything that was advertised, the hottub my fav just chilling in it with a coffee on a sunny sunday morning in Donegal what more could you ask fot 😊 our two dogs loved the place and made friends with the cattle next door. we will defenitely be rebooking and highly recommend Davey Johns Forge's
Stayed in Rae’s Cabin
Thanks for this, Paul. A coffee in the hot tub on a Donegal Sunday morning is hard to beat, and it sounds like the dogs made the most of it too. We look forward to having you and them back.
Airbnb · August 2025 Very nice place. Would return 😊
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thanks, Niamh, glad you enjoyed it. If you do come back, just book direct at daveyjohnsforge.ie and give us a shout beforehand.
Airbnb · August 2025 Absolutely beautiful place to stay, we were on honeymoon here and we loved the cabin itself , so cosy and warm. Storm Floris hit the second night we were there but we were high and dry! The whole area around is stunning, more beautiful beaches then we managed to visit. would highly recommend Davey Johns Forge and North Donegal in general. the hot tub and sauna were an extra touch of luxury!
Stayed in Rae’s Cabin
Thank you so much for the kind words Bridget. We’re so happy you enjoyed yourselves and look forward to seeing you again!
Airbnb · August 2025 First time staying at Davey Johns Forge. Loved it. Very cosy! enjoy the hot tub and sauna. place is really well kept and lovely views. would def stay again x
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thank you, Heidi, it's good to hear you enjoyed the hot tub and sauna and found the place well kept. The views over Mulroy Bay are one of those things that tends to catch people off guard, and I'm glad you felt that too. You're welcome back any time.
Airbnb · August 2025 We loved our stay in the cabin with our dogs. Clean, peaceful and quiet. Definitely recommend.
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Airbnb · August 2025 Fantastic place. Felt warm and cozy. Very well kept property. Appreciated the jacuzzi after a long motorbike ride.
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thank you, Blake. The hot tub is exactly the right place to land after a long ride through Donegal roads, and it's good to know it hit the spot. Everything here is looked after by the family, so it's nice when that comes through. Hope to have you back.
Airbnb · August 2025 We just spent two nights at Davey John's cabin with a pet and we would highly recommend. The cabins were spotless, comfortable and great for a quiet getaway. Location was great for exploring the surrounding area.
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
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. Mulroy Bay and the wider Fanad peninsula have a lot to offer, and having a private hot tub and enclosed garden to come back to at the end of the day makes it a bit easier. We hope to have you both back.
Airbnb · July 2025 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!
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thank you, Claire. It's great to hear you and your dog had such a good time, and that the place felt clean and well kept throughout your stay. You're right that we sit on the main Milford to Carrigart road, and it's worth future guests knowing that, as Claire says, you really don't notice it once you're inside or out in the garden. 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
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.
Airbnb · July 2025 Really enjoyed our stay with our dog and baby. Location was perfect to explore North Donegal. The sauna is also a great addition. Will be back!
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thank you, Christopher. It's good to hear the three of you settled in well, and that you got some time in the sauna alongside the exploring. North Donegal has a lot to give, and Mulroy Bay is a fine base for it. We'll look forward to having you back.
Airbnb · July 2025 Shane was a great host, and give clear advise if needed. a beautiful home in an amazing location. will definitely be back and thanks to Kate for having the place spotless
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thank you, Deborah. Kate takes real pride in how she leaves each stay, so it is lovely to see that recognised. Mulroy Bay is always here when you are ready to come back.
Airbnb · July 2025 We had a great stay in the cabin - it had everything we needed & more. Would definitely stay again!
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thanks, Caitlin, it's good to hear the cabin had everything you needed. Short and sweet, and that's exactly what we're going for. Hope to see you back above Mulroy Bay before long.
Airbnb · July 2025 We had a great 3 night stay here. The accommodation is well laid out and it’s great to have the hot tub and sauna to use. Would highly recommend staying here to explore north Donegal.
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thanks for the kind words, Ryan. The hot tub and sauna are there to make the most of the Donegal weather, whatever it throws at you, and it's good to hear they did their job. North Donegal has a lot to offer and Carrigart is a fine base for it. Hope to see you back.
Airbnb · July 2025 Perfect get away, loved the got tub. Quirky Cottage with everything you need.
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thank you, Patricia. The hot tub and the cottage character seem to win people over every time, and it is good to hear you had everything you needed. Hope to have you back on the bay soon.
Airbnb · July 2025 Great location, good facilities, Shane was a good host.
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Really glad the location and the setup worked for you, Matthew. Mulroy Bay and the Fanad coast tend to do most of the work on that front. If anyone is weighing up a stay, feel free to message ahead with any questions before you book.
Airbnb · July 2025 We had a great time- loved the hot tub and scenery. Beautiful cottage
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thank you, Megan, good to hear the hot tub got some use and that the cottage felt right. Mulroy Bay puts on a good show whatever the weather. Hope to have you back up on the Fanad side again sometime.
Airbnb · July 2025 We had a lovely stay at the cottage with our kids and labradoodle. 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.
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
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.
Airbnb · July 2025 We had a very enjoyable 2 days here. It was very relaxing and had everything we needed
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Glad you enjoyed the two days, Donal, and that it did the job. That is exactly what the place is here for: a bit of peace, the hot tub, the sauna, and everything to hand so you can just settle in. Hope to see you back up on Mulroy Bay before long.
Airbnb · July 2025 gorgeous cabin. everything was spotless. hot tub was on 24/7. there was a newly built sauna which we could use also. kitchen amenities were amazing. TV with Netflix, Amazon prime etc for an evening movie. outside there was also table and chairs with a fire place, and a bbq. the lake view from the cabin was amazing. shane was always available to reply straight away if we needed anything. one of the best airbnbs I've ever stayed in. we will definitely be back!
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thanks for this, Paul, it's great to read. The hot tub, sauna and that view over Mulroy Bay are things we quietly take a lot of pride in, so it's good to know they landed well. We'll have everything ready the same way for your next visit.
Airbnb · July 2025 Loved the stay, the hot tub/sauna was a great touch and lovely views. Loved the living room set up!
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thank you, Lucy. The hot tub and sauna are something we put a lot of thought into, and it's good to know they landed well, as did the living room. Hope to have you back at Devlinmore before long.
Airbnb · July 2025 Okay, here's a shorter review: Davey and John’s forge a total escape! Super peaceful and just what I needed to relax and recharge. Loved how quiet and comfy it was—definitely coming back. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a break away!
Stayed in Rae’s Cabin
Thanks Remi, really glad you got the rest you came for. The quiet above Mulroy Bay tends to do that. Hope to have you back soon.
Airbnb · July 2025 Lovely cottage near Downings. Well suited for our family stay with bunk buds and pack n play. Kids loved the big screen projector screen and hot tub. Hosts were accommodating and responsive.
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thanks, Kellen, and glad the family had a good time. The projector cinema and the hot tub tend to go down well with the younger ones. Hope to have you all back at Ruby's Cottage again sometime.
Airbnb · July 2025 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.
Airbnb · June 2025 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. Lots of fresh towels and robes provided also. The cinema screen experience was a big hit with the children also. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Also the host was very responsive as well as plenty of clear instructions provided.
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thanks Cónagh, really glad the family had a good time. The projector cinema tends to go down well with the younger ones, and it's good to hear the sauna and hot tub were well used. Ruby's Cottage suits a family group well, and we keep the linen and towels properly stocked so nobody is counting out a single spare. We'd be happy to have you all back.
Airbnb · June 2025 Couldn’t recommend this stay enough. The cabin was immaculate and so private with beautiful views. The hot tub is amazing and the new sauna is a great addition. The host Shane was very helpful with any questions we had. Will 100% be coming back here again!
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thank you, Emma, it was great to have you. The hot tub and sauna are two of the things guests seem to enjoy most, and it's good to know both hit the mark. We'll look forward to welcoming you back.
Airbnb · June 2025 A beautiful stay in a gorgeous house. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, fully furnished and equipped with a beautiful hot tub. Shane was an excellent host. His communication, instructions and directions were super. A wonderful place that we would highly recommend and look forward to returning to soon.
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thank you, Ciara, it's great to hear the cottage felt well looked after and that everything you needed was there. The hot tub, the kitchen kit, the instructions, all of it is set up to make the stay easy from the moment you arrive. You're very welcome back any time. We'll look forward to it.
Airbnb · June 2025 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
Thank you, Eric. Really glad the location worked well for the rally stages, and that we could help with your questions along the way. Ruby's Cottage does sit in a good spot for getting around that part of Donegal, with Carrigart, Milford and Letterkenny all close by when you need them. We will look forward to having you back for Rally Donegal.
Airbnb · June 2025 Great place to stay, only 20 mins to Letterkenny city. Great views from the hot tub. Place was kept very clean. Everything we needed was provided. Instructions on everything, kitchen utensils, toiletries, etc. all in all a very comfy and welcoming place to stay. Very easy to find . Host was very communicative and was always happy to help.
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thanks, Daniel, good to hear the stay worked well from start to finish. Everything being in place and easy to find is exactly what we aim for, so that is good to know. Letterkenny is a handy run for a bigger shop or a night out, and Mulroy Bay from the hot tub is hard to beat on a clear evening. We look forward to welcoming you back.
Airbnb · June 2025 Great and Peaceful, The hot tub was great and bed was so comfy !! We will definitely be back. Was great to have peace and quiet and like a home from home vibe !

Stayed in Rae’s Cabin
Thanks, David. Mulroy Bay and the hills around Carrigart do make for a good reset, and it's great to hear the hot tub and sauna earned their keep. Dogs are always welcome here too, and there are some good walks and beaches close by for them. Hope to have you back.
Airbnb · June 2025 My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Davey John's Forge for his birthday. The cabin was lovely with a stunning view of the lake. We we're only a 10-20 minute drive to any of the local towns which was perfect for us and any questions we had Shane was quick to respond with recommendations etc. Will definitely be coming back to Donegal.
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thank you, Saskia, and happy birthday to your boyfriend. Rae's Cabin is a good spot for a birthday break, and Mulroy Bay is hard to ignore from up there. Everything you need is within easy reach, and Carrigart, Downings and Milford are all a short drive away. We hope to see you both back soon.
Airbnb · June 2025 It was a nice stay
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thank you, Athulya. Glad you enjoyed your time at Devlinmore, and we hope to have you back above Mulroy Bay again sometime.
Airbnb · June 2025 Great place to stay, all really clean and great amenities. Would definitely go back!
Stayed in Rae’s Cabin
Thank you, Anna. Really glad the place hit the mark, and keeping things clean and well set up matters a lot to us. We would love to have you back above Mulroy Bay.
Airbnb · May 2025 Absolutely beautiful stay in a beautiful part of Donegal. The place is exactly as advertised and we even got to try out their new sauna. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a stay in the area. It was incredibly clean and the views were lovely from the hot tub! Shane is a great host who was attentive at all times.
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thanks, Rory, glad you enjoyed the sauna and the view from the hot tub. It means a lot to hear the place matched what you were expecting. Hope to have you back up on Mulroy Bay again sometime.
Airbnb · May 2025 Such a peaceful, relaxing weekend away if you want to get away from everything. Close to the local down which has such a cute pub/restaurants and only 10mins from Downings beach and the Harbour Bar! The Airbnb itself was so relaxing! Lovely hot tub and views!! (No shopping if that’s what your interested in)
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thank you, Jodie, glad you got the break you were after. The Harbour Bar and Fisk in Downings are a great combination, and the Carrigart village pubs are worth a visit too if anyone is planning the evenings. Jodie's note about shopping is fair: we are in a quiet rural spot, so Letterkenny (about 20 minutes) is the place to head for a proper retail run. Hope to see you back on Mulroy Bay soon.
Airbnb · May 2025 This place was WONDERFUL and definitely recommend, the space was beautiful and in a lovely area where the views were stunning. A bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it ! There are lots of things to do within a short car ride and plenty of sites to see Thanks !
Stayed in Rae’s Cabin
Thank you, Francesca, it's great to hear you enjoyed the stay and got out to explore the area. Mulroy Bay and the Rosguill peninsula have a lot to offer within a short drive, and that side of things only gets better the more you dig in. We keep an eye on pricing and want every stay to feel worth it, so that's good to know. Hope to have you back some time.
Airbnb · May 2025 Cute Clean Comfy But not a “real” sea view
Stayed in Rae’s Cabin
Thanks, Steven, good to hear the place hit the mark on the basics. On the view: Davey John's sits above Mulroy Bay, so guests do look out over the bay and the surrounding landscape, though the water is part of the wider scene rather than an open ocean panorama directly in front of you. Worth knowing before you book, and something we will make clearer going forward. We hope to have you back up on the peninsula sometime.
Airbnb · May 2025 We had a fantastic two-night stay at this peaceful cabin in Donegal. The location is stunning, with beautiful views and a real sense of calm and quiet — perfect for a relaxing getaway. It’s also ideally situated, just a short drive from a few charming small towns with great restaurants and lovely beaches. The host Shane went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a scenic and welcoming spot. Added bonus of the hot tub and beautiful newly fitted sauna. Perfect for couples or a girls weekend! And lastly double thumbs up for being able to bring our fur baby with us🐶
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thank you, Yolanda, glad you and your fur baby felt so at home. The hot tub and sauna are there any time of day, and it's good to hear they added something to the trip. Rosguill and the Fanad coast are right on the doorstep, so the beaches and a bite to eat are never far away. Hope to see you back above Mulroy Bay before long.
Airbnb · May 2025 Amazing place and a really great view from the hot tub, would definitely recommend!!
Stayed in Rae’s Cabin
Thank you, Taylor. That view across Mulroy Bay from the hot tub is one of those things that's hard to put into words, so it's good to hear it landed the way it does. Anyone thinking about booking, the hot tub is private to your stay and available any time, day or night. We hope to see you back up in Donegal before too long.
Airbnb · May 2025 We had a lovely stay. Both the location and the house was great, we had a great time. Highly recommend

Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thanks, Danny, good to hear you had a great stay. The Carrigart area is a special part of Donegal and it's always nice when guests get to enjoy it properly. Hope to have you back up on Mulroy Bay sometime.
Airbnb · April 2025 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 Shane.
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Thank you, Laura. It's great to hear you had everything you needed and that the communication worked well throughout your stay. Mulroy Bay and the Fanad peninsula are a good base for that mix of beaches, restaurants and a bit of walking, and it's good to know you made the most of the hot tub and sauna too. Hope to welcome you back to Donegal before long.
Airbnb · April 2025 We had a great stay, Everything was as described, Definitely worth it if your looking for a cute getaway in a nice secluded place in ireland

Thanks, Nathan, glad you enjoyed it. Devlinmore is a quiet spot above Mulroy Bay, and that sense of being away from things is a big part of what we are going for here. Hope to have you back sometime.
Airbnb · April 2025 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. Just what we were looking for, we had a great time
Stayed in Margaret’s Cabin
Thank you, Donna, glad it hit the mark. The hot tub after a day out in Donegal is hard to beat, and it sounds like you made good use of it. Hope to have you back at Davey John's before long.
Airbnb · April 2025 My girlfriend and I spent a couple of nights at Davey Johns Forge to celebrate a birthday and it was exactly what we were hoping for.

Airbnb · April 2025 The Cottage was beautiful, peaceful and everything as described! The host was extremely responsive and helpful in every way. I highly recommend staying here. The only thing I would suggest if you are planning a stay is to pre plan taxis, if you don’t drive or you’re planning on drinking alcohol it may be tricky to get a taxi as me and my partner discovered.

Airbnb · January 2025 We had a lovely few days in the cottage. The location is ideal, close to the sea and Glenveigh National Park. The hot tub is very enjoyable and easy to use and the fire place was a gorgeous treat. The king bedroom was lovely and cosy. The kitchen had all amenities including a full range cooker. There were a few stains in the downstairs bunkbed room but that's to be expected when pets are allowed and it was worth it to be able to have our own furry friend with us! We also loved the projector for watching movies.

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
Booking.com · September 2024 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
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.

Airbnb · September 2024 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 👍🏻👍🏻

Airbnb · August 2024 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. Not enough pillows on the bed in the downstairs bedroom. Hottub water needed changing. Sorry for the picky review but its disappointing to find these issues after we have paid good money
Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage
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.
Airbnb · August 2024 The cabin was wonderful. Very comfortable and a great place to come back to after a day exploring beautiful Donegal. Shane was great at communicating and everything worked like clockwork. Would definitely recommend!

Google · August 2024 Amazing place. Close to some shops and restaurants so not struggling to find anything. Very cozy with great views and the hot tub is the cherry on top. Would highly recommend for anyone to book.
The location really does work well in both directions, Alan — quiet and private when you want it, but never far from everything you need. Glad the hot tub was the cherry on top.
Google · August 2024 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.
Google · August 2024 Shane is a great host, he gave great instructions and was very helpful and kind. He was prompt to respond to any questions we had and was extremely helpful. We all had a great time in the cottage. It is a beautiful home with stunning countryside. The cinema and the hot tub were a great hit.

Nespresso machine & milk frother, TV with loads of channels should you need it, hot tub which was ready to use 24/7, such a fab location, very secluded which was just perfect for us & only 10mins drive to the nearest town for food etc! 10/10!

The location is beautiful, close to nearby towns for shops etc, lovely water side walks directly across the road. The cabins are so snug and cosy and Shane is such an attentive host. The cabin was spotless for us arriving, the hot tub on and heated. We brought our doberman with us and there was plenty of room for him too! We keep coming back and will continue to. It has such a homey feel. 11/10.

Google · August 2024 Stayed 1 night in one of the cabins. Wish we had longer!!! It was a delightful setting. 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!). The nearby Tramore beach is just gorgeous.
