The cottage and the location are nothing short of spectacular. Bright and spacious with an outstanding view of Glen Lough. Finding the cottage can be a bit challenging if you make the mistake of using gps as many of the roads marked to reach the house are actually closed off. You are best reaching the house from N56, taking the turn at the sign for glen lough and following the signs for the cottage from there. John does send over directions and videos to help you to the house. John was very quick to any messages I sent him. But if you’re not familiar with the area or the island of Ireland like myself and needing the information sooner to plan your trip I’d suggest messaging him directly as you won’t get the welcome info for your trip until the day before. Also, something to note is that the hot water needs to be switched on and takes a few hours to heat up before taking showers and the tank is limited so if you have a big group you’ll have to take very quick showers and may need to give it more time to heat up in between if there are more than a few people showering. It’s good to know prior to booking to decide if that’s it’s something you’re alright with it. It’s in a great location close to a lot of amazing site seeing. You are within 20 minutes of Glenveagh National Park, Horn Head, and many gorgeous beaches along the northern coast. We took a day trip to the castle at Glenveagh, horn head, and killahoey beach and were blown away. All of the little villages along the coast are very cute with some little shops and pubs. Donegal was the last leg of a trip across Northern Ireland into Ireland and after spending time in Dublin, Belfast, and Derry I feel like the beauty and charm of northern donegal is totally unmatched. I loved the cottage and the area and I wish I could have stayed longer, possibly forever!
