Questions
Common questions
- What are the check-in and check-out times?
- Check-in from 3 pm, check-out by 10 am. We’re happy to arrange a later check-out where we can; it depends on how many guests are arriving that day and the cleaning turnaround.
- Can we walk to the village, or do we need a car?
- We’d recommend driving or taking a taxi. Carrigart is about four kilometres away along a busy road with no footpath, so it isn’t a walk we’d advise, especially around dusk or after dark. If you do walk it, wear something hi-vis and bring a torch. The local taxi (Speedy) is the easy way in and back, and there’s a Monday to Saturday bus past the bottom of the road.
- How do we get around, by taxi or bus?
- We keep a list of local taxis and transport in the getting-around section of our Donegal page.
- Are dogs welcome?
- Yes. We just ask you keep them out of the bedrooms and off the furniture, and there are poo bags by the door; please clean up after them.
- How many does it sleep?
- Up to six, across three bedrooms.
- Can we use the hot tub and sauna any time?
- Yes. The hot tub is yours 24 hours a day while you’re staying, and so is the sauna.
- How many does each cabin sleep?
- Two.
- Does each cabin have its own hot tub?
- Yes, a private hot tub each, yours any time of day.
- Can we use the sauna and games room?
- Yes, both are shared across all the stays.
- Can we book just one cabin, or all three stays together?
- Either. Each cabin books on its own, for two. If you’d like more room you can also take the whole place on one booking: the cottage, both cabins, the sauna and all three hot tubs, up to ten guests with no one else on site.
- Is the garden enclosed for our dog?
- Yes. Each cabin has its own enclosed garden, so your dog can be off the lead safely.
- Is it included in a stay?
- Yes, shared across all the stays at no extra cost, any time of day.
- What kind of sauna is it?
- An electric hot-stone sauna.
- Do we need to book a slot?
- No. There’s no booking system; it’s first-come, and it’s never been a problem in practice.
- Is the hot tub shared too, or private to our stay?
- The hot tubs are private. Every stay has its own hot tub, yours alone for your stay. Only the sauna and the games room are shared across the stays.
- What’s the wellness offering?
- Private hot tubs at every stay plus the shared electric hot-stone sauna. Locally there are massage therapists, and Soleful Sanctuary for reflexology.
- What’s the nearest course?
- Rosapenna is closest, about 8.5 km (10 minutes) to the links, and 8.2 km (11 minutes) to St Patrick’s Links. Portsalon Golf Club is 21 km (23 minutes).
- Anything for a non-golfing partner?
- Plenty: the sauna, the hot tubs and the games room, plus everything to do nearby.
- Does the cottage suit a family?
- Yes, it sleeps six, has a garden, and there’s a travel cot and a high chair for the littlest ones.
- Is there anything for the kids?
- The cinema is always a hit, and the games room is a recent addition.
- Which stays take dogs?
- All three.
- Any rules?
- Out of the bedrooms and off the furniture, with a quick clean-up after them. There are often other dogs on site, so please keep an eye on yours.
