Ballyshannon, County Donegal, Ireland
A lakeside hut on the shores of Assaroe Lake in County Donegal, set in woodland close to the main house but screened enough to feel separate. There is no television or WiFi, just a radio, a king sized bed, and views across the water. A continental breakfast is included. Two private decking areas sit by the lake, and a fire can be lit on the main jetty when weather allows.
Red squirrels are regular visitors, with occasional kingfisher and otter sightings. Bundoran's beaches, surf breaks, and golf course are nearby, and fishing for trout and pike is available on the lake itself. Two bicycles come with the stay. At 355 reviews and 4.99, this is one of the highest rated tiny stays in the northwest of Ireland, and the deliberate absence of screens is clearly part of the appeal.
We love the deliberate disconnection. No WiFi, no TV, just a lakeside hut in Donegal with red squirrels and a fire on the jetty. The 4.99 rating from 355 reviews says it all.
Many reviewers noted that Chiara and Tom's hut was perfect, cozy, and homely. They appreciated the fresh bread, homemade jam, and magical surroundings, highly recommending it despite the weather.
