Cobblestone Cottage

Leabgarrow 1.4 miles. Cobble Stone Cottage is a charming single-storey cottage nestled on Arranmore Island, just off the coast of County Donegal. Set on a gentle rise overlooking the Atlantic and surrounded by grazing sheep, this romantic coastal retreat is near the beach, with a warming open fire and a steaming outdoor copper shower tucked into the garden. As you arrive, you're greeted by fresh ocean air and the timeless charm of this stone-built cottage with original details. The setting is tranquil and full of character, offering a true escape from the everyday. From the open stone hearth to the calming interiors and peaceful outdoor spaces, this is a place where the pace slows and stress fades the moment you arrive. Slip off your shoes and head to the kitchen, where warm brown tones from wooden fixtures meet a sleek black range cooker. Fire up the hob and create a mouthwatering feast for two. Once dinner is ready, settle into the bright and inviting living/dining room, with its warm-toned vaulted ceiling, rustic stone fireplace, and doors that open to coastline and countryside views. Soft pools of light from copper fixtures highlight the artwork on the walls and create a gentle glow perfect for reading or unwinding. With the chandelier lighting up the dining table, plan the adventures ahead. Head to the leather sofa, toss a log on the open fire and hear the crackle as you enjoy a book, experiment with the musical instruments, or catch up on your shows using the provided laptop with streaming services at your fingertips. After a day of exploring the island, soak your muscles in the bathroom—a refreshing space with soft towels and curated toiletries, including soaking salts and bubbles for a soothing end to the day. Walk across the preserved cobblestone flooring, a nod to the cottage’s heritage, to find a queen-size bed dressed in fine linens that promise a restful sleep.
