Yvonne
A quiet and peaceful location to relax in away from the hustle and bustle - No TV but WIFI is available throughout. The traditional cottage is set in landscaped grounds including a small wood and stream . An EV charger is available for guests to use. The cottage is an ideal base from which to explore the 'Wild Atlantic Way' and all the scenery of the Rosses and Donegal. There is also the Coastal Blueway to nearby Arranmore Island. We do take pets but request no more than 3 per booking. The grounds and the cottage are not ideal for children under two so please advise prior to booking if you have any queries.
Having holidayed here for the last decade, we hope our guests will enjoy the area as much as we do! There are plenty of walks to enjoy straight from the cottage and grounds to explore, as well as the magnificent local scenery.
The cottage is set in a quiet, rural townland close to the local bay and Atlantic Ocean with stunning views A car is needed for getting around. Ample parking on site and free parking in Dungloe. There are several beaches a few minutes drive away and numerous walks around the surrounding area. The nearest town Dungloe (An Clochan Liath) is a quick 6km drive with bars, restaurants and shops.
