Cosy 2 bedroom cottage

BrandonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The Cosy Cottage was absolutely perfect for our base to explore Donegal. It is very close to several beautiful spots and a short drive to many others. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Donna and her family were wonderful hosts. I would rebook this cottage in the future without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Hidden gem 3 minutes walk to stunning Beach

JohnRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had the pleasure of staying at Charlie's while attending a family reunion. The house was very homely with everything you might need, including the smaller details like torches for walking at night and jigsaws and games to keep you occupied if the weather is bad. Charlie's instructions were clear and comprehensive and we found him to be quick to respond and very helpful. Everyone in our group was happy with the accommodation. For those like us without transport, the beach is a quick walk from the house and the bus stops the top of the road.

Swilly View Rathmullan Spacious 5 Bed Home

JasonRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This place is a gem. The view and area are breathtaking. The house feels like a family home and we were instantly comfortable. We were traveling with our family, which were a group of 10, and we were very comfortable. The view out the kitchen window will have you wanting to do dishes all morning. Instructions for everything and and easy check out process. Rathmullen has a great restaurant 10 minutes down the road. There is also some great sights like the lighthouse 30 minutes away and The Way of the Cross. Letterkenny is 30 minutes away for shopping, eating out and any other need you have. We will never forget our special time here, and neither will you.

Beautiful 4 Bedroom Holiday Cottage.

ElaineRating, 5 stars8 months ago
House was fantastic…..perfect for our gang of 8! Really well kitted out in the kitchen, everything felt very new & spotlessly clean with lovely welcome of coffee, bread etc. The view from the deck was the best bit…..we loved it, despite the wet Irish ‘summer’ weather 😜 Thanks to Mary & Tommy for a lovely stay 👌🥰

SineadRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a fantastic stay at Cathy's place. Great walk from house to Tramore beach , and also enjoyed the 20 mins walk to the town (and beach) which has lots of places to eat and drink. Excellent recommendations from Cathy for Casa coffee and Braai restaurant in Creeslough. We also enjoyed pizza from Apache (Rusty Oven booked out!). Beautiful views and an all-round lovely place to stay. Our boys really enjoyed the games rooms. Thank you Cathy.

Your guide to County Donegal

All About County Donegal

The majestic power of nature is on display in County Donegal, on Ireland’s northwestern coast, where the verdant mainland meets the roar of the Atlantic Ocean. This is a region, too, that holds strong to its traditions. The Irish language is freely spoken here, and you’ll hear centuries-old folk music in many local pubs.

Many people come here to take in the natural beauty of the 2,600-kilometre Wild Atlantic Way, which winds its way around the Donegal coast. To the north, you may want to walk along the sandy beaches of Ballymastocker Bay, on the Fanad Peninsula, or take a boat ride on the dark waters of glacial fjord Lough Swilly. Powerful waves crash against Talland Beach in Bundoran, the most southerly town in County Donegal, known as the surfers’ capital of Ireland. The beating heart of the region is Glenveagh National Park, set among the untamed wilderness of the Derryveagh Mountains and home to 19th-century Glenveagh Castle, which stands on the grassy shores of Lough Barra.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in County Donegal

Although County Donegal is regarded as a remote part of Ireland, it attracts high numbers of visitors from June to August. Summer, after all, is when the temperatures are normally at their highest, although rainfall is always a possibility. In May and September, the weather is still mild, and more Donegal cottages are typically available. From the beginning of autumn through winter, wild Atlantic weather can emerge from across the water, delivering prolonged periods of rainfall and strong winds that generate some of those dramatic waves that crash against the sea cliffs and rocky shores. December and January are among the best months of the year to witness the Northern Lights from the Inishowen Peninsula — nature’s very own light show, dancing across the night sky.


Top things to do in County Donegal

Inishowen Peninsula

The largest peninsula in Ireland, Inishowen is an untamed, rocky landscape whose windswept setting has served as a popular filming location for Hollywood movies. Malin Head is the most northerly point of the peninsula, and if you walk there as far as Banba’s Crown, a 19th-century tower, you can gaze across the dramatic cliffs and seascapes towards the Atlantic Ocean. Then head inland to visit the imposing stone fort of Grianán of Aileach, whose history dates back over one thousand years.

Mount Errigal

Rising up to around 750 metres at its pointed summit, the quartzite Mount Errigal is the tallest mountain in County Donegal. The Mount Errigal trail takes hikers right up to the top, rewarding them with commanding views across the Glenveagh National Park and as far as Slieve Snaght. The hike to the summit and back takes around three hours.

Slieve League

The power of Ireland’s nature is encapsulated in the breathtaking Slieve League, dramatic sea cliffs with sheer drops of up to more than 600 metres. The Pilgrim’s Path takes you on a four-kilometre trail walked by ancient pilgrims, leading you to a plateau, a strategic viewpoint looking over the rough Atlantic waves battering the dramatic cliffs.
