Anita's cottage is an old time charming house that is full of character. Located about 10 minutes from Donegal town and a short drive to Killybegs it is a wonderful based to see the coastline features of that part of the county. We were there during a major storm all weekend but terrific natural power to be seen in the beaches and natural spots. Easy to get to the brilliant Slieve League cliffs, surfing beaches, golden sandy beaches, Glen Columcille craft village and historic sites. We went to quite a few of the beaches.
Shopping is best done in Donegal town for supplies but Anita has lots of extras for the rainy days, board games, computer console, TV, CD etc. Transport is essential whether car, or bikes but only a couple of pubs locally. As we don't do pubs can't really comment.
The house is quaint, has old world charm with excellent beds, bedrooms and ample space in kitchen diner. Fully kitted out for cooking home meals, plenty of hotels for lunching out. Great heating, wifi, and hairdryer, washer, clothes dryer and everything you'd need. Spotless clean and Anita was available easily by phone. Parking outside on very quite road and can take a couple of cars no problem. As it was winter I'd say warm clothes for outdoors essential. A bit of tweaking on door locks would be perfect and an adjustment on the shower screen, but doesn't detract from the stay or the cottage as a base. Check in no problem and lots of useful tips given. Great base for exploring, make sure to bring weather appropriate clothes in the off season and shoes for trekking etc. Enjoy!
