This is our favourite getaway. I couldn’t recommend Davey Johns Forge more! 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.

Thanks so much for your kind words Bekkie. You're both always welcome at DaveyJohns and we can't wait to have you again.

My boyfriend and I stayed in cabin 1 for two nights and it was absolutely amazing. The cabin has a lovely view and is fully furnished with the most comfortable bed!! We also had access to a private hot tub which was so nice. It was the perfect way to relax. Before we arrived I was sent links to videos on how to set up the hot tub etc, this was extremely helpful. Shane is an amazing host and is completely on the ball around messaging and checking in. I would highly recommend staying here!!

Thank you so much for the kind words Anna. I’m thrilled you had a lovely time.

We had a lovely stay in Cabin 2 which is in a great location with a lovely hot tub. Lots of places to visit within a short or long drive, whatever suits. The cabin is comfortable and furnished to a high spec-one of the nicest we’ve stayed in. Lots of choice on tv and 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 a couple of times which was convenient. Bed was comfy Shower was always red hot Shane is very helpful and kept in touch as and when we needed anything. I would certainly recommend cabin which is located in a lovely part of the world. Thank you, Shane.

Our group travelled from Dublin to attend a dinner in The Olde Glen Bar. Shane’s cottage was the perfect stay in terms of location and the amount of people his cabin (6 people). 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!

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.

Stayed in Ruby’s Cottage

Davey John’s Forge

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.

We would recommend this cabin and location for anyone looking to explore the wild Atlantic way. We had a fabulous stay in cabin 2 for 2 nights.

I would advise anyone booking this cabin to ensure you have condiments / tea & coffee etc with you.

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. We must have missed it on the day you stayed and I can only apologise! Hopefully you got it up to temperature and managed to enjoy the evening all the same.

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.

The cabin was only a short car journey from large beaches, we had our 2 dogs with us and found lots of places to bring them.

We stayed up in Dave’s John’s forge for 2 nights and it was so beautiful and peaceful! I couldn’t recommend the place more stunning views, gorgeous cabin very modern and up to date! The hot tub looked out over the bay and at night was stunning with fairy lights around! Shane and Family were so helpful giving all details on how to use everything in the Cabin. It was a great weekend all round and would highly recommend! Thanks again Shane and Family for an amazing weekend!

Our stay at Davey John's cabin was fantastic! Our host, Shane, was really lovely, super responsive and very helpful! Everything was perfect from the moment we checked in. Shane provided us with clear instructions for our check-in before we arrived and they were so helpful! The cabin felt like a home away from home and was so beautiful inside and out. It was absolutely spotless and very well laid out. The bathroom was beautiful, hotel standard for sure! The bedroom has the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, so cosy! The highlight of our stay was the hot tub! We spent a fair few hours in that over the weekend and it was bliss! The area is also very beautiful, lovely surroundings and so peaceful. We will definitely book another trip for sure, maybe for a little longer next time (we wanted to stay there forever!). I would highly recommend this place for your next trip, honestly, you won't be let down! Thanks so much Shane, you are a diamond host!

My boyfriend and I stayed in cabin 1 for two nights and it was absolutely amazing. The cabin has a lovely view and is fully furnished with the most comfortable bed!! We also had access to a private hot tub which was so nice. It was the perfect way to relax. Before we arrived I was sent links to videos on how to set up the hot tub etc, this was extremely helpful. Shane is an amazing host and is completely on the ball around messaging and checking in. I would highly recommend staying here!!

We had a fantastic time here. A lovely spacious property in a beautiful lakeside location in Donegal. Lots of picturesque scenery for nature walks etc nearby and only a 20 minute drive from Letterkenny. The beds were very comfortable and the property was very clean with modern kitchen and shower facilities. The property is particularly unique for the outdoor hot tub and the indoor cinema projector which was a huge bonus. Couldn’t recommend staying here enough. Check in and check out was very easy too and the location is easy to find with lots of parking. Only two of us stayed but it can comfortably fit 6 with lots of space and comfortable beds. Highly recommended

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.

This place was fantastic! Great location and beautiful scenery right on the doorstep. The cabin was incredibly well appointed and the mattress was super comfortable. Over all the place was very cosy and warm to be in. Wifi was available and the tv had access to Netflix, YouTube and more so no lack of entertainment options. We were also surprised to find a hot tub that was part of the cabin on the front decking - it was warm and ready to use immediately which was a real highlight. 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!

Davey John’s Forge

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.

The cabin was absolutely amazing. It has literally everything you might need for a short or long stay. There is WiFi and access to Netflix and Disney plus, cooking utensils, iron, etc. The cherry on top is most definitely the jacuzzi outside of the cabin. 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!

Davey John’s Forge

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.
