Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Our host gave us a very friendly welcome. We were comfortable and warm and found everything easy to use. Nice views of the sea and only a short walk (5 Mins) from the high street, so in a very good position.
Very minor issues: a few hooks on the backs of doors would be useful; as would having somewhere under cover to park our bikes; fortunately we brought bike covers with us. Other than that, it was a great place to stay

"Had a brilliant stay."
Susie and Michael, the owners, live next door but don't bother you. They left a lovely breakfast pack on arrival.
The cottage has everything you need and is lovely and spacious with a great view of the Atlantic from the garden. The sunsets were fabulous. A great base to explore from..mountains to beaches and much more.
Great pubs and shops just up the road.
It's a wonderful place.

"Clean, comfortable, cosy and well equipped cottage in fairly quiet location but handy for town facilities."
Unobtrusive but hospitable hosts.
Slightly misleading post as we had impression from photos that outlook was directly on to the seafront rather than adjacent to other properties.
Photo more accurately displaying exact location would be helpful.

"We were delighted with the property."
It is very spacious and the cleanliness is of a very high standard.
Suzie and Michael welcomed us and showed us how eveything worked
They left us to our own devices, but were on hand should we have needed them.
The cottage is very close to all amenities.
We can highly recommend the Waterfront hotel
only five minutes drive away. Great views and staff with prices only slightly more than the local
pubs.

"Loved our stay at this property - very clean, comfortable and well equipped."
The weather was mostly dry but fairly chilly but we still managed to have some lovely days out exploring. The house has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay and Susie and her husband are the best hosts ever - so friendly and helpful for us 2 old biddies! I loved the fact that there is no restriction on towels - you can just help yourself and no extra charge for the heating on those chilly evenings. Would not hesitate to recommend this property

"The cottage was spotlessly clean and tidy and the owners had left us a package of breakfast items in the refrigerator, which was a nice touch."
The cottage is in a prime location for the village. The village was lovely and friendly with more shops than we expected. The pubs are a credit to the village, very friendly and welcoming.
The owners of the property obviously live next door.
It was a shame we did not meet them to have a chat, that would have been nice.
I would suggest a little tighten on bathroom taps, they are a tad loose and children staying there might struggle with them.
It was our honeymoon and our first time to Ireland.
So glad we chose to go there it is a beautiful country with such wonderful people.
We hope to go back sometime.

"This cottage has a first class location with exceptional views also good for shops, pubs touring etc."
The cottage is very spacious but could do with a bit TLC is some bits. The Central light in the front bedroom did not work. The hot tap in the ensuite was loose and the shower lacked power. There was no bath mat in the bath in the bathroom and was very slippy when showering. The kitchen was well equipped but some of the dishes had chips on them. Some hooks to hang towels would be useful. Apart from the above we had a good holiday

At least 30 glasses but not tone wine glass.Nice gesture welcome pack of processed meats that we don't use.Can this be the only Sykes Cottage with 4 ticks where the landlord doesn't provide a hairdryer? There was a broken one in the drawer which the owner said was left by a previous occupant but he didn't supply one. Had to purchase a hairdryer . Could have brought our own had we known. Wifi only available in the corner of an end bedroom.This could be a 9.9 premises if these niggles were ironed out and the landlord developed better inter-personal skills.

We love seaside holidays and the cottage was next to the sea. It had excellent views especially early morning and evenings when the sun set. The surrounding area had numerous beaches, many of which were exceptional. Driving in this locality was a pleasure as the main roads were good, there was little traffic and the scenery was great. The shops in Dungloe were very convenient and there was a good choice of food for our self catering holiday.
We were very lucky with the weather as warm, sunny days are essential for the type of holiday we required.

Resting on the waters edge along the quay road in Dungloe, County Donegal, is a well-presented, detached cottage, just a 20 minute drive from Donegal Airport.
This homely cottage has been lovingly decorated and offers comfortable, quality accommodation with superb access to the amenities in Dungloe.
Boasting two delightful double bedrooms, this Dungloe cottage is ideal for couples or friends looking for a coastal getaway being less than half an hour from the Blue Flag beaches of Narin, Portnoo and Carrickfinn.
Guests with reduced mobility can take advantage of the wheelchair ramp to the rear of this Dungloe cottage, and also a fully wheelchair accessible wet room, an en-suite in one of the bedrooms.
The open plan living area, with sliding doors leading to the front, is where guests will spend most of their time, cooking up a storm, wining, dining and enjoying one anothers company by the warmth of the stove.
There is also a separate sitting room, with an open fire, where you can retire to and enjoy a bit of quiet time with your book or newspaper after a fun-filled day discovering this unspoilt and beautiful region.
Outside this Dungloe cottage is a lawned garden, which enjoys sea views, and a very short walk will take you to the waters edge where there is also a picturesque picnic area.
Dungloe is situated in the Rosses region, famed for its great selection of pubs, shops and restaurants, not to mention its traditional music.
A paradise for walkers and fishermen, Dungloe and the surrounding area is scattered with rugged seascapes, lakes and sandy beaches, including Cloughglass Beach.
For the more experienced hiker, the challenge of Donegals highest peak, Mount Errigal awaits.
Further afield, why not take a boat trip from Burtonport and discover the wild island of Aranmore, or hop on your bike and take in the views and landscape of the Glenveagh National Park?
Whatever the time of year, you will be sure to have a wonderful holiday from the comfort of this Dungloe cottage!
Up until 1762, entry into the town of Dungloe in Donegal was only possible via the stepping stones dotted over the river. Thankfully, now visitors from all over the world can take the much easier route over Donegal Bridge and enjoy this charming town in County Donegal with ease. Dungloe is known locally as 'The Capital of The Rosses', the name given to this region of the county. The town, which has become recognised as a centre for traditional Irish music, has a selection of shops, bars and eating places, as well as events taking place throughout the year, including the annual 'Mary from Dungloe' festival. A fisherman's paradise, the area has over 130 lakes and rivers and is renowned for its fishing and great sea angling, with several charter boats available in nearby Burtonport, from where diving can also be enjoyed. There are also daily boat trips from the harbour to Arranmore and Rutland Island. Wonderful wildlife can be found in the bogs and reed beds, while golfers will love the variety of golf courses found in the surrounding area. With hills and mountains to explore, the dramatic coastline to enjoy and so much to see and do, this is sure to make the perfect base for your Donegal holiday.
