Furnished to a high standard, this cottage is surprisingly spacious and has been lovingly renovated to provide contemporary fittings combined with traditional aspects that won’t fail to charm you.

The Space.

Unwind after a busy day exploring Donegal in this traditional thatched cottage. Sit in the charming lounge in front of the warming multi-fuel stove or why not relax in the roll-top bath and imagine all the adventures still to come on your well-deserved getaway.

This is a single level, semi-detached cottage. Entering from a private driveway, you will encounter the lounge which has a multi-fuel stove, sofas, WIFI, Smart TV with saorview/freeview and Netflix account. From there you will lead into the luxury King-Size bedroom with wardrobes, drawers and relaxing chairs. Also, from the lounge, you can move into the kitchen with cooker, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle. The kitchen is fully equipped with all crockery, glasses, bakeware and utensils and a range of condiments for your use. We provide complimentary tea, coffee, jams and sugar. The bathroom leads off from the kitchen and includes a huge walk-in shower and a massive roll-top free-standing bath with a bathboard where you can enjoy a relaxing soak with a glass of wine whilst catching up on your ipad/talblet. The huge multi-fuel stove when lit, provides all the heat and hot water you many require. However, there is also oil-fired central heating available to use as well if you choose not to use the stove. The oil-fired central heating is on a pay as you go basis accepting 1 euro coins. A complimentary starter pack of turf, kindling and firelighters is provided and there is a large store of turf in the shed to purchase on an honesty box basis.

Electricity, freshly laundered bed linen and towels are all provided, as well as throws, blankets and hot water bottles for those cosy times in the winter. The cottage has PVC double glazing throughout and provides a safe, warm environment at all times of the year. Full instructions for the cottage are emailed to guests prior to their arrival.

  • We had a fantastic stay at Fiona’s beautiful cottage. Very well located for exploring the local beaches and Fiona provided excellent information about where to visit. The cottage itself was even more beautiful than the pictures and the turf fire was wonderful!

  • The cottage is the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful Inishowen peninsula. Fiona’s well organised information about the cottage and the area was very useful. The cottage itself is lovely - with a modern interior, very cosy and comfortable. Would highly recommend!
