Sandra's thatched cottage is an idyllic escape to relax and unwind in nature. Located in the hills of Donegal, the cottage has been restored with all the modern amenties and comforts you need for a trip while still retaining its traditional rustic charm.
The location is ideal to explore nearby Dungloe, a 50 minute drive to Sleibhe League Cliffs, 15 minutes to the town of Ardara and just a short 5 minute drive to Dooey Beach. You can also walk to Elliots Traditional Irish Bar and enjoy a traditional music session on Friday nights and chat with the locals. A shop and petrol station are also located nearby.
The cottage itself is warm, cosy and perfect for a trip for two. We particularly enjoyed making breakfast on the large gas stove and eating outside the cottage on the picnic table in the morning, enjoying the view of the Gweebara river and listening to the chirping birds. The open fire was also a treat and Sandra provided the wood and turf to light it. She treated us to complimentary Irish Tayto crisps and chocolates and even left us butter, eggs and milk. The cottage has all the essentials and more if you choose to cook and a lovely modern coffee machine. Sandra also popped by to visit us while we were there and we really appreciated her sightseeing tips and local hints. A lovely host, who made our weekend trip very special.
