"We’ve been renting holiday homes in Ireland since 1996 and have been fortunate to choose good ones nearly every time. The Hilltown is our new favorite after a recent 10-night stay. Everything was exactly as advertised, the house is comfortable and spacious. We loved being in a family home rather than a generic rental; the photos, local artwork, and Irish books/resources made us feel like we’d been invited to a reunion. The 1970s farm ledger was a particularly fascinating glimpse into the property’s not-so-distant past.We are familiar with Co. Donegal from previous visits but were still able to find new places to explore such as the nearby cemetery with its many poignant markers. We visited several beaches and landmarks, and we learned the history of the area at the small but mighty County Donegal Museum in Letterkenny. We had great meals at many local spots but also enjoyed hearty home-cooked meals including a beef stew with 100% Irish ingredients including bay leaf from the garden! Both Michael (owner) and Jennifer (property manager) were quick to respond to inquiries and full of helpful information. More importantly, they were accommodating and compassionate when our plans changed twice due to an emergency back home. We can’t thank them enough for their kindness during an exceedingly difficult time.We would absolutely stay at The Hilltown again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in beautiful Co. Donegal. "
