Eagles Rock Cottage is basically a dream. The location feels magical, and it was a perfect place for us in every way! And, though it is a beautifully remote place (which is exactly what we wanted), we found it quite easy enough (by our standards) to drive up the Donegal coast, or head to Sligo to meet some friends for music, if we felt like getting out (we did both). The views from the cottage are stunning, and having a gorgeous hike practically starting in the yard was a DREAM. Wifi and TV would only spoil the time (though we did enjoy having some David Attenborough on in the background, part of the DVD collection). The cottage was cozy, very clean, and also felt bright and airy during the day.
Christine was such a gracious host and wonderfully communicative. She was also extremely gracious: we, being city dopes, really, accidentally drove a wheel of our car off the AMPLE gravel provided for driving on and promptly got deeply stuck in mud (there was a heavy rain the night before). 100% our fault, and we left an unfortunate rut in the otherwise lovely front yard. She was very kind about the whole thing, and seemed way more concerned that we had a nice stay. After the mishap we simply stayed on the gravel and had no other issues! I mention it because we appreciated the kind response; not all hosts are so understanding if you make a mistake.
We really, really hope to be back next time we are in the area. It would be very difficult to find a better stay!
