We had such a fabulous time staying at Elma and Cathal’s beautiful place in Carrickfinn!
The house itself is lovely: very generously sized bedrooms (each with its own bathroom)and living space (the latter has a great open fire), a very decently appointed kitchen and, of course, the sauna, which is perfect after a day of walking or beaching (especially in February, which is when we were there)! We were travelling with a 2 year old and a 9 month old and everything was perfectly child-friendly.
Everything was super clean and Elma and Cathal could not have been more friendly and helpful - real super-hosts.
The area is stunningly beautiful. The beaches are spectacular, as are the mountains and interior generally. Some highlights were: having Oysters and Guiness at Nancy’s in Ardara; taking the ferry to Arranmore island and looking around the beaches there; walking on Falcarragh Beach and having fish and chips there; walking around the fabulous Glenveagh Castle.
Cannot recommend highly enough.
