    “Unfortunately for other accommodations, we now have a very hard standard of cottage bar to reach.”

    We could not have been happier with our stay!!! The cottage is beautiful inside and out. Anne and Pat have also fitted it out with every creature comfort needed and more! It was an absolute delight to stay in and be so extremely comfortable that we honestly did not want to leave! On arrival the house was already warm from the gorgeous heat and generous timed settings. The beds were warm from the electric blankets being on. The kitchen is stocked with all the basic food items such as ...

    We could not have been happier with our stay!!! The cottage is beautiful inside and out. Anne and Pat have also fitted it out with every creature comfort needed and more! It was an absolute delight to stay in and be so extremely comfortable that we honestly did not want to leave! On arrival the house was already warm from the gorgeous heat and generous timed settings. The beds were warm from the electric blankets being on. The kitchen is stocked with all the basic food items such as sauces and S and P. The open fire has been generously set and ready to light with a massive supply of wood on hand, as well as small pieces, fire starters, peat and matches that lasted the week! The furniture and quirky Knick knacks generate a warm cosy farmhouse feel. The plentiful supply of fresh large farm eggs was so kind, thank you. The view was amazing as was watching the sunset and sunrise from either the back or front windows and doors. The cottage is convenient to a number of towns for shopping and supplies as well as all the attractions of county Donegal. A lovely stay perfect for all types such as couples, families, and solo travellers. We miss this place so much! Thank you Anne and Pat, we will always treasure our time here!!

This charming, traditional detached cottage is in an isolated position between Rathmullan and Milford.

Offering breathtaking views of Lough Swilly, this cottage is a perfect retreat for couples or a family looking to completely get away from it all.

Set all on the ground floor, there is a spacious kitchen with a dining area which is a cheerful space to enjoy a hearty breakfast before heading out into the countryside.

The sitting room has a multi-fuel stove which keeps the cold at bay and provides a cosy room to retire to in the evenings.

Completing the accommodation are two charming double bedrooms.

Outside you will find a gravelled area with a lawned garden where you can see the countryside stretching for miles to the lough and hills in the distance.

This is all the inspiration you need for you to pull on your walking boots and get out there to explore.

For an evening out, head to the seaside village of Rathmullan where there are a choice of restaurants and pubs including the award-winning Rathmullan House.

You can also have a go at some watersports on Lough Swilly or test out your swing at one of the golf courses on the shore.

For a day out, Glenveagh National Park is a must.

About the location

RATHMULLAN, COUNTY DONEGAL

Letterkenny 15 miles.

Nestled on the shore of Lough Swilly on the Fanad Peninsula, the quaint village of Rathmullan has a colourful history. It was from here that the last of the Celtic chieftains fled Ireland, now known as the Flight of the Earls, and there is an interesting heritage centre in the village commemorating this vital event in Ireland’s history. This sleepy seaside village offers a variety of local shops and pubs and a long sandy beach ideal for lazy days. The Fanad Peninsula is a haven for walkers, hikers and nature enthusiasts, and boasts a stunning coastline. The summer ferry crosses Lough Swilly to Buncrana, opening up Inishowen and beyond, and it’s only a short distance to the town of Letterkenny.
