    “This is a delightful renovated and extended traditional cottage.”

    It is very remote, which is exactly what we were looking for. The property owner was kind and very helpful, with great recommendations for an evening meal in Glenties and a remote pub with trad sessions. We were very happy with all aspects of the accommodation and grateful for acceptance of my adult Irish Wolfhound as a guest. My only suggestion (not a criticism) to the owner would be to perhaps have a written document explaining the system for getting hot water in the 2 showerheads in the ...

    It is very remote, which is exactly what we were looking for. The property owner was kind and very helpful, with great recommendations for an evening meal in Glenties and a remote pub with trad sessions. We were very happy with all aspects of the accommodation and grateful for acceptance of my adult Irish Wolfhound as a guest. My only suggestion (not a criticism) to the owner would be to perhaps have a written document explaining the system for getting hot water in the 2 showerheads in the bathroom. Once the system was explained, we could understand the reasons we did not have hot water each day. For people looking for accommodation well off the beaten track, I recommend Carnaween View highly.

About the location

GLENTIES, COUNTY DONEGAL

Donegal Town 17 miles; Letterkenny 27 miles.

The picturesque town of Glenties meaning ‘The Glens’ is located in the heart of the Donegal Highlands, at the meeting point of the two glens of the Owenea and Stranaglough rivers on the northwest edge of the Bluestack Mountains. The two rivers, particularly the Owenea are well known for their salmon fishing. Although a small town, Glenties offers seven pubs, four general and grocery shops and three takeaways in its busy main street. Glenties is a five times winner of Ireland’s tidiest town and has won the Entente Florale Europe Competition. The area offers visitors many opportunities to hill-walk in the Bluestack Mountains and enjoy the scenery of the Bluestack Way, as well as the chance to explore the many other glens, mountains, dozens of lakes, and the rugged Atlantic coast with its sweeping bays and wide clean beaches. Other attractions include several archaeological remains, such as an ancient ring fort on an island in nearby Lough Doon, tremendous views everywhere you look, and the Finntown narrow gauge scenic railway, which runs alongside the two mile long Lough Finn. There are frequent local festivals and events in Glenties, and nearby towns, such as an annual Harvest Fair, plus live music can be enjoyed in pubs most nights, and golfers will appreciate the challenging links course at nearby Portnoo. The Glenties area is perfect for hill-walkers, hikers, bikers and tourists who wish to explore this varied, wild and rugged part of North West Ireland.
