We really enjoyed our stay in Railway. It is a quaint, traditional cottage which is well equipped with all modern conveniences. Liaison with, Gerard, property manager, was great and with easy access and departure. Location near Donegal town on the Killybegs Road was good, with easy access to South Donegal, including Sliabh Liag, stunning. Cottage well equipped - only addition I would recommend would be, perhaps, an outdoor table and chairs (maybe wrought iron in keeping with the traditional style of the cottage?). All in all, we enjoyed our 3 night stay and look forward to experiencing further Irish Landmark Trust properties.

We had a lovely 3 days in the railway cottage. It’s a great location to base your stay in Donegal from if you’re driving. Taxi into the town was between 6 and 8 euro and not hard to get. The facilities are basic in the cottage, we had trouble getting the temperature just right in the shower and you have to sit in the bath to use it. There is no tv or couch, just two armchairs, books and a radio but in the end it was a really enjoyable stay! The place was spotless and had a really old, quaint feel to it!

I was very lucky with the weather, and spent a long afternoon reading in the beautiful garden. The cottage is cute and comfy, and the bathtub superb! Also a great location - just a short drive from Slieve League. Throughly recommend a stay here, you won't miss the internet at all :-)

This is the second time we’ve been to Railway Cottage and it certainly won’t be the last. The property is beautifully maintained with the lovely traditional exterior and very tasteful touches of modernisation inside. From the moment you step into the garden and hear the birds singing there is a real sense of peace and tranquility. It’s also a convenient location for exploring the surrounding beautiful beaches and is extremely close to Donegal town. Highly recommended. It is a real privilege to have access to a property like this.

Thank you so much for having us at the Railway cottage. Our stay was superb. The cottage itself was beautiful, and the grounds were lovely. We had fantastic evenings in front of the fire and the underfloor heating was a welcome touch in the mornings and helped keep the cottage lovely and warm.

The location was superb as well. 2 KM into Donegal town centre, and an hours drive to a host of Donegal's best attractions.

We added on an extra night, as we were so delighted with our stay.

Thank You

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the railway crossing cottage. It is a beautifully restored cottage in a wonderful location - a very pleasant place to spend a significant birthday, especially sitting by a blazing fire in the evening listening to music and sipping a glass of champagne. We had a great time in Donegal too, visiting the castle and the railway museum. Although the latter was closed for renovation they kindly invited us in and told us all about the museum. On a very rainy day we visited Killybegs and learned lots about Donegal carpets and the fishing industry at the museum set up in the carpet factory.

Stayed here for 3 nights and had a very relaxing time and were well looked after. Location is great (although don't think it's completely secluded, it is in a small residential area). Less than 5 minutes drive from Donegal town. Property was exactly what we hoped for and expected but it may be smaller than you think from the photos. Bed, although small, was perfect.
All I would say is, if you plan on bringing a pet, the garden's great but not completely secure; dogs could get out and dogs will come in (although friendly).
Would recommend this for a couple's retreat!

This a charming cottage for two with a fabulous and beautifully kept garden. It has everything two people might need and is in a quiet and secluded location though only 2 km from Donegal town with all its shops and restaurants. We would strongly recommend it to other couples looking for a quiet and attractive self catering location.

Hi, we stayed in Railway Crossing Cottage for two nights. The place is very pretty and well presented. Gerard has contacted us re key, and access was grand. He had put underfloor heating on before we arrived, but explained that it was hotter in morning. There was plenty of fuel, so we enjoyed old fashioned nights in front of roaring fire, listening to ‘wireless.’ Also put hot water
Bottles In bed well ahead of bed time. There wasn’t enough hot water for a bath, not a big deal. We had a gift voucher, and were happy it was accepted. Had to put money to it, so really not great value for the cost at all. About 300 for two nights, when there are lots of offers available that include dinner. We enjoyed our stay, the cottage was presented beautifully. Trish

The cottage is restored to a very high standard with an old world charm. It is steeped in history. It is set in a tranquil garden where you can imagine the trains once running. It is ideally situated close to amazing beaches and cliffs of the Wild Atlantic Way. Donegal town is only 2 km away with lovely pubs and restaurants.

Railway Crossing Cottage is carefully and authentically restored and provides an accurate insight into how people lived 100 and more years ago. Modern amenities (running water, hot showers, electricity for light, refridgeration, cooking and heating) take the edge off what must have been what we'd regard today as fairly harsh living. The small cottage windows remind us how light modern dwellings are, and encourage us outside where the cottage grounds are beautifully kept. It is a haven of peace.

We stayed for 3 nights midweek on a special officer which was great value. The one bedroom cottage is quaint in a lovely setting with a big well kept garden at the back. It is well located about 3km from Donegal Town but feels like you are in the middle of the country. We had two very wet days which was a pity but we looked around Donegal Town and took a very good tour of the Castle, visited Killybegs with it's beautiful large fishing trawlers and visiting cruise ship, went to Slieve League which is out of this world even though the clouds covered the tops of the cliffs etc. Hopefully we will return when the sun shines as so much depends on the weather.

Donegal is one of the most incredible places on earth when the sun shines and I am very sorry to hear that the weather was not kind to you during your stay. It is lovely to hear though that the proximity of Railway Crossing Cottage to Donegal town gave you an escape from the bad weather for a while and that you were able to experience some of the wonders of this fabulous County. Hopefully Irish Landmark Trust will get the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future in better weather for your stay.

My husband and I had three lovely nights in the Railway Crossing Cottage in September. It's so cosy, comfortable, quiet and restored beautifully too, with colourful flowers in the window boxes adding a perfect touch for photographs! The setting is great, we had several long walks on the country roads around it, and it is a perfect base for further exploring of beautiful Donegal. The caretakers Gerard & Mary, and Irene in the Irish Landmark Trust office, were all so helpful to deal with too.

The railway cottage is in a great spot being just out of town but in a quiet location. The views from the cottage over the large garden are lovely. The fireplace was wonderful. We greatly appreciated the armchairs ( not shown on the photos Irish Trust have on their website) to sit by the fireplace in. The bathroom was very cute ( and the hot water was adequate) and there was space next to the bedroom we could put all our bags in so we didn't feel crowded.The bed was small but was fine for a couple of nights. Someone has decorated the cottage in a very tasteful way. We found exploring Donegal county was one of the highlights of our trip around Ireland as it is full of natural beauty and with relatively few other visitors. We had a lovely time here.

We have stayed in quite a few ILT properties. 3 days. This was 7 days. It was amazing. Secluded but not isolated. The cutest cottage with beautiful grounds. Wonderfully laid out inside and out. Perfect for a couple wanting to tour Donegal and come home to something cosy. We were very sorry to leave. Thanks to Ger. Could not recommend it higher. Well done.

The cottage is tiny but very charming, everything was spotlessly clean and the house manager Gerry was great.
A lovely base for exploring the wider area, just outside the town of Donegal on the road to Killybegs / the Atlantic coast.
The house is beautifully restored with everything you could need for a few days break.

Myself and my husband really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Cosy Cottage just 2km outside Donegal town.
Every part of the cottage was beautiful.
The house is perfect for two. The bed as very comphy but we did think it might be too small for some.
It's an easy 20-30 min walk into town. There are loads of lovely places to eat/drink and plenty of taxi's to get home.
We stayed in one night and lit a fire. I wouldn't do this again as it got very smokey.
One disappointment was that the bath cannot be used for a full bath. As there's not enough hot water.

We spent three cosy nights in Railway Crossing Cottage just outside Donegal town. It was easy to find and it's just perfect for a couple. We loved how steeped in history and how beautifully restored it is. The location is great, just on the edge of town but really rural once you stroll away from the cottage up the hill where there are beautiful views to be had. The facilities are basic but exactly what you need and it was lovely to sit in by a real fire every night listening to music, chatting and reading.

We went to explore Donegal County as we had never been before so the location isn't exactly ideal for that, but it was fine, a little more driving than we might have liked, but if you were just exploring the area, including Sligo, Lough Erne and North Mayo, then it's perfect.

This is a beautiful little cottage, perfect for exploring Donegal, Gerard was a bundle of local knowledge and told us some wonderful spots to visit. Never realised just how beautiful Donegal is.

If your looking to get a feel for what it was like to live in a real traditional Irish stone cottage (but with subtle modern creature comforts) this is for you.

The location and history of the place is great, it's close to Donegal town (€6 taxi trip) and an ideal base to try the marked local cycle routes (outside the door) or to head up the coast along the fantastic Killybegs coastline and hiking up Slieve League (recommended).

We eat in The Olde Castle Bar (Fish restaurant) and we'd recommend The Forge pub, a proper cozy old school buzy country bar.

Final big mention to Gerard, your local friendly host and a mine of local information and tips.
