Neighbourhood
Glenties is a five time winner of the All Ireland Tidy Town competition. It is the birthplace of Patrick McGill the Navvy poet and The resting place of Brien Friel, playwright best known for writing 'Dancing at Lughnasa' which was made into a film starring Meryl Streep.
Town is situated between three glens and is a great base for touring all the sights in North west Donegal. People are friendly and several beautiful beaches are less than 20 minutes drive away. Also perfect for hiking/walking.

Getting around
Better to have your own car, swap with us or hire as public transport isn't great.

After an exhausting day of getting lost on the trails of the Giants Causeway, Angeline had dinner and hot tea awaiting us on arrival. We were fortunate to get to know Angeline and find out that our stories have some similarities. Like myself, Angeline has a son with Autism, which some of you may know if you have seen me post in this group before, I am a huge advocate for those in the Autism community. She and I spent much time during our visit just resonating with stories; I could have listened to her stories for hours. She had so much knowledge of the area and gave us so many tips on where to see the best sights in Ireland in her area of Donegal. We had thrown in some American spirit in there by getting sidetracked through a dirt mountain road, but it turned about to be the most beautiful scenery of our drive throughout all of the drive in Ireland. I would recommend anyone traveling to Angeline’s area to reach out to her and share a cup of afternoon tea. We felt so welcomed during our entire stay with Angeline!
Angelene’s home in Glenties is comfortable and spacious and so well equipped, we wanted for nothing.
Only minutes from the town and close to spectacular beaches and stunning scenery. Communication was warm and friendly. If you get the chance to visit Angelene’s home do not hesitate. Thanks again, Angelene and John, your kindness is very much appreciated x
Thank you Colette for your kind words and positive review which is much appreciated. Wishing you every happiness in your new home.
The exchange with Angelene and John went very well. Their house is very spacious and very comfortable. It is well placed for visiting the wonders of Northern Ireland and Glenties is a charming village with all amenities. Awesome !
Thank you very much for your positive review which is much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Angelene
Wonderful stay at the home of Angelene and John ! This is one of the nicest welcomes we have had in over 10 years of home exchanges.
Communication with Angelene was excellent, before, during and after the exchange. She made sure we had all the information we needed.
The house is very well located for visiting Donegal and the surrounding area. There are a lot of activities to do and the landscapes are really beautiful.
We were really well settled in the house of Angelene and John. The house is large and super clean.
Do not hesitate to make an exchange with Angelene, she is so nice and her house is just perfect. Thanks again for everything!
Emilie, Mo, Malik and Lorelie
Thank you Émilie for your kind words and positive review which is much appreciated.
It was lovely having you and thank you for leaving the house spotless. Hopefully you will come back some day- Donegal/Shankill next time.
Best wishes,
Angelene
This is a must see destination not just for the beauty of Donegal, but for the opportunity to meet Angelene and her family. Angelene welcomed me and my friends with warmth, kindness, and generosity. We felt at home right away. Angelene showed us around to some of her favorite places nearby. Her home is spacious and well equipped. We were sad to leave this beautiful sanctuary. Her home is a great vantage point to travel to the many places. Slieve League, Derry, Killybegs, Ardara are only a few, not to mention the many beautiful beaches.
Put this on your bucket list. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you very much for your kind words and positive review Karen. It was a pleasure to meet you and your friends. You looked after our house very well and left it spotless in addition to giving us gifts, all of which was very much appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again in Boston in the not too distant future all going well.
Best wishes,
Angelene
Angelene and John took great care of our home. The communication was easy and the exchanges friendly. Perfect :)
Thank you Angelene and family for taking care of our house, a non-simultaneous exchange. Unfortunately we were unable to meet the family but we had good contact beforehand via messenger. When we got back home again we were very happy with the way they left it, everything clean and tidy. And to our delight our guests even left us a thank you present from Ireland, very thoughtful! We would very much recommend a home exchange with Angelene and we are very excited to go to Ireland and visit their place soon!
Thank you for your kind review Steinunn - much appreciated!
Nicole and her mother Amber from Florida spent two lovely nights in Glenties as hospitality guests.
I hope they enjoyed the remainder of their trip in Ireland and have lots of mystery tour driving stories to tell their family and friends.☘️
Alas, I didn't have an opportunity to meet Colette but communication was easy.
Colette looked after the house very well and left it clean and tidy.
She even notified me when telephone wires were blown down by the wind so that someone could check on things.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Colette as a perfect PLU guest. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our stay at Melanie and Johann's home. It was spacious and comfortable and our favourite spot was relaxing on the deck which overlooked the garden, a wooded area and the sea. Their home is ideally located to visit the many beautiful towns and villages within driving distance for a day out. It is also perfect for walking/hiking along the fabulous coastline. We would highly recommend it.
Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Melanie and Johann but communication was easy throughout. They took great care of our home and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as perfect PLU guests.
Thank you!
It was a pleasure to host Émilie, Mo, Malik and Lorelie. Communication was easy and nothing seemed to be a problem- even the rain didn't appear to spoil their time here.
The house was left spotlessly clean and they also left us a beautiful card and a selection of delicious treats on departure. I'd welcome this lovely family anytime.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Émilie, Mo, Malik and Lorelie as perfect PLU guests.
Thank you!!
Thank you Angelene for your comment, it was a real pleasure :-)
It was a pleasure to meet Karen and her friends during their time in Glenties. From the time the swap was finalised, I found Karen to be a no fuss lady and communication was easy throughout.
Karen gave me a gift on arrival as well as another on departure which was very unexpected but much appreciated.
Karen and her friends were delightful company and always game for a laugh.
Our house was very well looked after and was left clean and tidy.
This was a non-simultaneous exchange and I look forward to meeting Karen again in Boston in the not too distant future all going well.
I would highly recommend Karen as a perfect PLU guest.
Thank you!!
Thank you to Steinunn and Dennis for accommodating us on our first PLU experience. This was a non-simultaneous swap and we found the whole process easy and no fuss. Although we didn't get an opportunity to meet our hosts, communication was good. The apartment was sparking clean and very comfortable and had everything you need for a home away from home. The location was close to Reykjavik with ample parking. We would have no hesitation in recommending Steinunn and Dennis as perfect exchange partners and look forward to welcoming them to Ireland in the near future.
