Having to leave!!

Everything, the quirkiness and cosiness of the lodge was amazing. It was so remote and peaceful -the best sleep we have had in years! Marion and Declan were such welcoming and warm hosts, and the added touch of homemade scones was a real treat! Looking forward to visiting again!

Beautiful remote location to just switch off, a whimsical place with great attention to detail in the cabin. The kitchen was really well equipped. There was lots of places to sit and the covered deck was lovely to have breakfast in or sit and have a cuppa. Not many places you can truly switch off, although wifi is provided, it was much nicer to chill and read a book here. Also great to meet the people staying next door from us. We didn't see a car on the road up and the walks around here are truly some of the best landscape and scenery this area can offer. The nearby Glen bar was a also a great stop for a pint and live music.

I cant think of anything.

We liked the welcome, the ambience everything about the place. If you like modern soulless chain hotels this is probably not the place for you. Our group loved it. Clean, well-equipped in a stunning location.

NO complaints at all. The cell service in the area is a challenge if you're travelling and need to check in but that's easily fixed with a quick trip the main road. Host provides a 4g hotspot which was plenty for our needs. I recommend this as a place to get away not to stay connected.

We're familiar with the area so the roads and directions were no surprise though could be to some new to more remote townlands of Donegal. Wonderful property well off the beaten path. Super cozy and quiet. Wish we could have stayed longer.

What a wonderful place and hosts. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with warmth, openness and baked goods! The chalet was built with their own hands and while a little basic, it was exactly what we wanted. The drive to the farm is past wonderful hills and lakes and we would have loved to spend many more days hiking the area, it left us with a desire to come back and visit Donegal for longer. It should be noted that there was barely any wifi reception which we needed to plan our route for the next day but with a little persistence we were able to connect for long enough for this purpose. In the evening Marion and Fiona gave us a little demo on their fiddles and we were very grateful to hear about their lives in Ireland and the centrality of music.

It was quiet, right in amongst nature with the owners pet ducks and Pablo, the dog roaming around. Full washing facillities available and we were greeted with some scones, butter and jam.Marion told me how to make nettle soup and we tried some of her nettle and chocolate mint tea. Our dog Sienna loved the place as well. There were also plenty of books to read and internet available.

Absolutely beautiful location within the forest, with ducks freely roaming around and the birds singing. Marion & Declan were lovely to talk to and very attentive. We had very relaxing stay. Also baked scones when we arrived was a nice treat and delicious. Thanks for having us and we will definitely be back for another stay 🙂🌿🪵🐦🏕💕

It’s a magical experience to stay at Meadowsweet. We felt like we could have been a million miles away, it is breathtakingly beautiful inside and out. The hosts are fabulous people and made us feel so welcome, they make the experience that bit more special. We will be back with our children. It is so ideal for families, couples or lone travellers looking for ultimate peace and quiet. It really is a gem.

we loved everything. Marion and Declan were fabulous hosts and nothing was any trouble to them. They looked after us very well and even baked us some scones. we traveled with our 4 children. there was lots for them to do there was tons of games and space for them. my kids loved the quirky bunk beds and lights.

Just a heads up, it's not a quick drive into town, so have plans for dinner whether it's driving out or cooking your first night. My wife and I enjoy doing things ourselves so it was great for us! But a bit of a surprise how DIY the stay would be based on the booking description. It's not a bad note, but be aware if you're expecting a typical hotel stay. The most accurate description would be found directly on the hosts' website.

Service was over and beyond. The couple running the lodge were right next door and provided firewood, instruction on the appliances, and checked in on us when a storm took out our power. We were even given fresh scones the night we arrived! It was a great place to slow down and take in the nature around you away from the busyness of the cities. It was also nice to have a kitchen so we could save money by cooking our own food. A snug & cozy space.

The heavy rain overnight made a lot of noise on the steel roof so sleep was disrupted.

A very cosy and comfortable lodge in a beautiful location. Would enjoy it even more in the Summer with better weather.
