Doagh Cottage is a really special place to get away from it all and immerse yourself in Donegal’s singular beauty. Our party of 8 had a wonderful time exploring the surrounding lands, including meeting some friendly ponies, hiking the private trail to the beach and spinning on the tire swing in the field next to the cottage.
The cottage itself is so very charming and the calf house has been beautifully converted into a living space. You can even lay in bed taking in a spectacular view of the North Atlantic! You’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere (in a good way) but it’s just a short drive to the local grocery shops and there are other things to see and do in the Portsalon area.
Briony was a great host — easy to communicate with and available to answer any questions we had about the cottage and surrounding areas.
In sum, I’ve been to Donegal a number of times but I’ve never stayed anywhere like Doagh Cottage. For my friends visiting from the USA, it was extra special! I’m so glad we all able to enjoy this experience together.
