We stayed in Winnimore Cottage outside Buncrana, Donegal for just over a week in July ‘21.
The cottage is beautifully positioned just a few yards from a sandy beach and had been totally refurbished recently. The courtyard at the back is a real sun trap and we were able to eat out with a lovely view of the mountains behind us. There was a lawn too, which my son loved playing football on.
The sunsets over Lough Swilly are a special experience, especially when viewed from the comfort of the cottage’s front room, which is fully equipped with a smart TV and reclining chairs.
Kitchen facilities are top class and in pristine condition. I have to say, the house was immaculately clean, which is very important with Covid etc. Bridie and Seamus had thoughtfully provided everything we needed in the kitchen for our breakfast. All cooking utensils are top class & pristine condition. Everything you may need is there, including a garlic press!
Bridie & Seamus really helped us shape an incredible family holiday with tips on places to go: The Wild Zoo, Malin Head, Ferry ride to Rathmullen Beach to name a few. Seamus also arranged for us to visit a neighbouring farm to see the chickens and dropped in some freshly caught fish for our dinner!
The highlight of the holiday was undoubtedly the hospitality and friendliness shown to us by Bridie and Seamus. This was our first journey out of Dublin in 20 months due to Covid restrictions, so we were so grateful for the warm welcome & hospitality.
