We absolutely loved Fern Cottage! Of the 8 places we rented in our 3 weeks in Ireland it was by far our favorite. It is very private, situated at the top of a hill, the last house on the road with a lovely view over fields dotted with sheep. The cottage itself is charming. It is cozy yet feels spacious at the same time. It is nicely decorated with very comfortable king sized beds, lovely soft linens, and an abundance of towels. In fact every possible aid to comfort has been thought of! The compact kitchen area is a marvel with everything up to date and every possible appliance (including a dishwasher) and kitchen equipment you would want. The fireplace was a highlight and an abundance of dry wood, kindling and turf is provided. The location is excellent: only 15 minutes to Glenveagh National Park and about the same to Letterkenny. Margaret was a perfect host. She was warm, friendly, made us feel very welcome, and was always available to answer questions.
