An absolutely delightful little getaway that’s oozing with charm and rustic living in a tucked away spot in Donegal. It’s hard to say whether the french stove that heats the nest, the bed mezzanine with its windows out onto the local trees and meadow, or the stone character of the building itself are the standout attractions.
We didn’t get a chance to meet Allaye herself when we stayed but she provided everything we could possibly have needed and we were in touch throughout our stay.
During our 3 nights in the swallows nest we had a walk and a swim up in Lough Anna, a hike along the neighbouring hill ridge and once into Glenties for a bag of chips.
An idyllic little retreat away from the rest of the crazy world, the swallows nest is simple living done magically.
We definitely will be back.
