“We had an amazing visit to Ireland.”

Our holiday was perfected by Sallywood Cottage! It was our home away from home. Bedrooms and baths were clean and tidy. The kitchen and living room area was perfect for our mixed age crew of 9. If we had any issues Mr. Connolly replied and helped immediately. (Mostly on how to use the different appliances.) We loved the gorgeous view from the deck, and the laid back farmland and animals nearby. It really made our Ireland experience unforgettable. We will be back here!!

“Beautiful spacious house, far enough away from everywhere but not too far you ...”

Beautiful spacious house, far enough away from everywhere but not too far you couldn't drive for provisions should you need to, the owner met us to help us find the house which was fantastic and I would definitely stay here again :)

“This is our third year at Sallywood House and as usual we had a lovely time - location facilities all great - the owner is especially helpful and had the heat on and the Christmas tree up and holly etc around the living room for us - very thoughtful - this is a great house for a large family or group of family members - the rooms are enormous and there is plenty of room for everyone.”

Very handy for the town and close to many attractions in Donegal. We are looking forward to staying again next Christmas.

“Beautiful cottage in a rural area near Ballybofey.”

We spent two weeks in this great home in the hills overlooking the twin towns of Ballybofey and Stranorlar in County Donegal. It is a great getaway in a rural area outside of Killygordon. The location is great for a family vacation or just a quiet place to experience some off the wonderful Irish hospitality. The owner, Garvan, was especially helpful and we could not have asked for better accommodations. Garvan went out of his way to may sure our stay was pleasant in every way. I would highly recommend this cottage if you are looking for a self catering home in this area. We used this home as a base and traveled all over the west coast from Galway to Malin Head and Giants Causeway.

About the location

BALLYBOFEY, COUNTY DONEGAL

Donegal Town 16 miles; Letterkenny 18 miles.

Located through Barnesmore Gap in the heart of County Donegal and resting on the banks of the River Finn, Ballybofey is often mentioned in the same breath as its ‘twin town,’ Stranorlar, with the two towns separated by a small bridge across the River Finn. The river is noted for its quality trout and salmon fishing with a number of other fisheries dotting the area. The town has much to offer with a good selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs, a theatre, an 18-hole golf course and regular traditional music and other nightlife in the evenings. Walkers will enjoy exploring the local woodlands or the shore walk around Lough Trusk, while the 47km-long Bluestack Way, which meanders through the mountains of the same name, is also accessible.
