I really enjoyed this little piece of Donegal's history. Its about 1 mile past Gortahork into the bog with Muckish, Errigle and various other mountains as your backdrop. Hard to beat.
The 'Waiting Room' has been very lovingly restored to a really good standard and is the perfect place to chill and unwind with a good book while enjoying the wonderful views all around you. It has a great little kitchen with all mod cons, fridge freezer, microwave, dyson cordless vacuum etc...
In the back there's a good sized bedroom with a double bed and bunks. This setup worked fine for us, with two kids, but it might not suit everyone.
The toilet /showerroom is also fine. It had a good powerful clean shower which runs off the hot water. The hot water and heating are oil fired and can be turned on or timed. We found the hot water for the shower did all of us just fine
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. I love the history of it and all the photos and books provided. It's close enough to Falcarragh, Dunfanaghy, Glenveagh, Errigle to make it a good holiday spot, but feels like you're a million miles away from everyone. Even although there was a family staying in the station house next door we hardly heard them at all! The silence out on the bog and the scenery from the windows is simply outstanding
