We had a wonderful stay at Andrea’s cottage. Everything was very easy and the place is extremely well set up and clean. The kitchen has everything you might need for cooking a proper meal, the shower is good, and the living space comfortable. There is great attention to detail throughout the cottage. The view is amazing and we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast every morning just soaking in the scenery from the window seat in the kitchen.
There is plenty to do and explore in the area. The local beach is just a couple mins drive down the road and is beautiful. Perfect for a run and a swim. Seemingly an unlimited amount of other fantastic beaches along the coast - a new one appears after every turn in the road! There are many maps and leaflets about the local area including hiking routes - we particularly recommend the Butler’s Glen loop. The Erris Hill hike is on your doorstep, and though we didn’t get to do it this time, it looks spectacular and we’ll have to come back in the future to give it a go! Probably worth bringing an OS map of the Inishowen peninsula if you plan on undertaking some more serious hikes (we picked one up at the petrol station in Ballyliffin), though the shorter ones seem very well signposted. Needless to say, there is amazing golf in the area.
Some nice places to eat also - we loved the Rusty Nail gastro pub, Nancy’s Barn in Ballyfin, and the Coffee Cup at Dunree Fort.
We look forward to returning again!
