Just back from a week in Kitty's Cottage in Donegal. The cottage itself was lovely with everything you needed. Kathleen was a great host and welcomed us with lovely flowers, wine and cake and was on hand if we needed anything. The cottage has a lovely garden with a picnic table just outside the kitchen door. It would be nice to enjoy your evening wine and soak up the views....but bring your deet...midges in full flow :) We also managed to get WIFI through GOMO much to our teenagers delight!
We used Kitty's cottage as a base. Dungloe is the nearest village it's about 20 mins drive. It has a good Aldi, Lidl and Supervalu. There is also a nice ice cream parlour (on the main st) to treat the hungry kids.
Our highlights were climbing Mt Errigal (quite steep but worthwhile), Slieve League (we got there late so drove right up), views spectacular, Sea safari from Burtonport with https://www.divearranmore.com, with a guy called Jim, really nice and very knowledgeable, we took a trip to Derry and did a City Walking Tour (great value £4 and kids under 12 go free), and took the car over to Arranmore Island https://arranmorefastferry.com/ which was lovely.....got to see the light house and walk down the steps https://www.yourirelandvacation.com/arranmore-island-donegal/
As you can see we made the most from our week in Kitty's cottage. Kitty's cottage was in an ideal location to travel and enjoy some beautiful and breathtaking scenery Donegal has to offer. We really enjoyed our week and hope to be back to Donegal soon. Thanks Kathleen for your hospitality.
