Our cottage is our favourite place just to be.
Whilst it is a quaint traditional Irish cottage with fabulous views over the hills of Donegal and a lake, it is equipped with all the convenience of modern day living., plus there’s a hot tub to chill out in at the end of a day exploring the Wild Atlantic Way.!
There’s a wood burning stove to cosy up in front of too.. it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind.
We are located on a quiet country road just 5 minutes from a stunning quiet beach with great sunsets! The towns of Glenties, Ardara, Dungloe and the fabulous Portnoo are all within 10/20 mins drive.
We are happy for responsible dog owners to bring their pooch along too!
The space
The cottage is over one floor though the kitchen and bathroom are on a slightly higher level up a couple of steps. There’s oil fired central heating and a wood burning stove to cosy up of an evening. We have a king size bed in the main bedroom and 2 bunk beds in the small second bedroom. There’s a bath and shower (above bath) and the kitchen has everything you will need for a comfortable stay.
We have patio doors leading to an outdoor dining area and there’s a hot tub on a raised decking area with a lake and Mountain View.
Guest access
Unfortunately the age and lay out of the house does not lend itself to wheelchair users and we are not set up for curious toddlers from a risk assessment point of view!
Notes
A car is essential. We are located on a rural road. The local village is just a few minutes drive away where there is gastro pub, convenience store, petrol station, church and Post Office. There is also a traditional Irish pub locally that has music every Friday night.
We are well located to explore the Wild Atlantic Way and the towns of Dungloe, Ardara, Glenties and Portnoo are all under 20 mins drive.
Mount Errigal, Glenveagh National Park, Glencolumcille and Slieve Liag and many other points of interest are all great days out for exploring the area.
