Nancy's Barn is a local favorite for a beautiful breakfast or lunch.
Don't miss the live traditional music set on Thursday night at the Strand Hotel, great local musicians!

Amongst its highlights is Ireland's most northerly point at the wild and rugged Malin Head.

Derry City: Derry is the second largest city in Northern Ireland. It is one of the few examples in Western Europe of a completely walled city. With the troubles behind it, Derry offers a tourist friendly environment coupling old and new attractions with plenty of up to date shopping experiences. Paedar O'Donnells will not disappoint for live music and a great pint of Guinness. The Walled City brewery located in an old military barracks has great local beer and wonderful food.

Wonderful accommodation in the quiet of the Inishowen countryside
The house is beautifully renovated and is just as described in the listing photos. We loved the artwork on the walls which provided evidence of Ken and Diane's love of the sea. They were perfectly accessible to us during our stay although they were in the U.S. at the time. The off-street parking was a real plus as were the outdoor sheltered picnic table for those rainy Donegal days. The local towns of Clonmany and Buncrana, a short drive away, provide excellent shopping and entertainment opportunities. As for the surrounding countryside, what can I say except welcome to Donegal. The scenery and beaches are just spectacular. The warmth and friendliness of the locals is legendary. Spend an evening at one of the many fine local pubs and you will see what we mean. We hope to return often and would recommend this vacation home without hesitation to anyone visiting the area.

Beautiful area of Donegal
The property was very clean and just as described and suited us and our exploration of the area in Donegal and day trips into Derry, as well. It was remote and quiet...just what we wanted! We were able to cook in the evenings allowing our driver to enjoy a glass of wine. The scenery was stunning. Beds super comfortable.

Use Mamore Gap or Loch Mamore
There was no way to find the property with the address, post code, the host gave us. I Used google maps, and another SatNav and neither got me close to the location. My sister put in Mamore Gap and recognized the cottage as she was driving up the hill to the gap. A neighbor who’s number was given in the directions came to find me. We were in separate cars.

Wobbly start in a little piece of heaven.
Reservation was very smooth. On arrival we had difficulty with the key safe. None of us could open it and we had no coverage on our phones. We drove to Mrs Jackson's who contacted Paddy Mc Daid who sent his daughter to open the key safe. We had been given the incorrect code and incorrect phone number on the website. The rest if the holiday was Brilliant and the house great. Very high standard of equipment in the house.

Little piece of paradise
Pictures don't do justice to this property, you will be taken by surprise how beautiful the cottage is. Its clean, well equipped, well stoked. All you need is your clothes and toiletries. Amazing views all around. Prompt communication from the owners. Plenty of maps and local information. Phone signals are spotty, so prepared to be cut off from the rest of the world. Please have off line maps on your phone if you are driving around. Can't wait to return next year. Thanks Ken and Diane.
