I love this cottage - it is so cozy and comfortable and quiet. This was my second stay - I came last year for three nights and loved it so much I came back again this year for ten nights! It has everything you need for your stay, and there are many thoughtful touches around the cottage - and of course the lovely welcome pack - a bottle of wine and mufffins! I have to mention that the bed I used was so comfortable - I had 10 great nights sleep. Any small issues I had were responded to promptly with a smile. (When I say issues - I couldn’t find the controls for the central heating, and Josie, Maria’s Mum, instead of trying to explain on the phone, actually drove up to show me where to find them and how they worked. They weren’t that hard to find either!)
The cottage is the perfect spot to locate yourself if you plan to explore the Inishowen Peninsula. I explored all of the “Inishowen 100” in both directions, and there are two beautiful beaches within about 5k in either direction - Pollan Strand and Tullagh Bay - and Five Finger Strand is only a 20 minute scenic drive.
Clonmany and Ballyliffin are within spitting distance for grocery shopping or eating out and for anyone who likes to sew, (and I mean this) do not miss Clonmany Fabric and Crafts in the local community centre. I would also like to mention the friendly staff in Atlantic Stores in Ballyliffin and Centra in Clonmany.
Yes - I had a great holiday, and plan to be back.
