Allaye made us feel relaxed and at ease from the moment we arrived, popping in with delicious freshly baked scones to welcome us. She has aptly called this little building 'the Swallow's Nest', which perfectly reflects the very special cosy and rustic feel that it has. Although it was a deep winter stay for us, the French stove meant that we were always warm, sometimes even too warm!
The location is within easy driving distance of great beaches and dramatic scenery, and just a short drive (down a narrow road) from Glenties where there is a butcher's, good grocery shop, a nice restaurant and hotel. As the listing mentions, the owner's family home is just behind the accommodation, and we were made feel welcome to give Allaye a shout if we needed anything (which we didn't, as we found everything we needed was provided). It still has a private feel though, and a beautiful panoramic view from the mezzanine double bed.
Allaye's recommendations were very helpful. We had visited the area a few times before but her suggested tour managed to point out a few local beauty spots that we had no idea existed!
The building is beautifully and sensitively renovated and we would certainly recommend The Swallow's Nest to other couples & individuals looking to spend some time 'away from it all' in this beautiful part of Donegal.
