Two small things:
- electric card system needs to clearly explained on arrival.
- disappointing that RTE and other Republic of Ireland tv stations not available. We can watch BBC, etc. in Buckinghamshire!

We loved our week in Donegal & at Anchor Cottage. Our host Colin was very nice and happy to tell us about the history of the building. The house was exceptionally well equipped, everything from washing up liquid to kitchen paper all supplied. Our only negative would be that considering it was August the house was damp. All our clothes were damp as were the beds

.We had to use the central heating every night even though we weren't cold just to air our clothes etc.
