This was our very first trip to Ireland and what an amazing find the Green Gate turned out to be! A wonderful setting looking down on the town of Ardara and the Atlantic ocean providing easy access to the beautiful sights and wonders of Donegal. Our cottage was was welcoming and charming and definitely not just your normal hotel room.
But the best part was our hostess, Paula. Her cheerfulness, enthusiasm, and obvious love for the entire area was what really made our trip a success. Her recommendations for things to do and see in the area were a huge help since we arrived without any particular agenda in mind. And her breakfast was just the thing to get us through a long day of sightseeing and hiking in the Irish air.
We were only able to stay for a brief weekend, but Paula definitely became part of the family in those few days. We're already planning a return trip where we can stay longer and enjoy even more of the beautiful Donegal surroundings and more of Paula's wonderful company!
Thank you, Paula, for making our visit so very special!
