Sometimes I feel Donegal doesn’t get as much love as the rest of Ireland and I have no idea why - it’s such a stunning area! And the cottage was the perfect place to explore all of it from.
The cottage was a little piece of heaven and better than described. The window overlooking the lake was calm, inviting, and the entire place was very comfortable - just a nice, neat environment which to relax in (and outfitted with its own library, in case you forgot your own book). Communication was seamless and we are grateful for the fresh eggs from the chickens who clucked about nearby (no rooster/they are not loud). There were so many nice, secluded beaches nearby and it was a great location to explore Aranmore Island and Slieve League, among others. I love the austere beauty of Donegal and I would not hesitate to stay at the cottage again.
