Cornagill Cottage Letterkenny: A very neat and clean traditional style farmhouse, with much of the original features and furnishings  still intact. Modern plumbing, kitchen and oil fired central heating add towards making it a very comfortable "home from home". The house is located close to the entrance to Letterkenny Golf Club and has superb views over the southern end of Lough Swilly.

The cottage lies on the Golf Course Road, about 5km north east of Letterkenny, and close to the entrance of Letterkenny Golf Club. It is situated on a height with scenic views overlooking the southern end of Lough Swilly. The Lough extends some 40km to the north, where it opens to the Atlantic.

Originally a farm house, it retains much of its original character and charm, and has a warm friendly aura about it. The home is well kept and maintained by the owner, who lives close by. (You may be welcomed by the lovely aroma of fresh baked scones or apple-pie on your arrival!)

Except for a modern fitted kitchen, and a new bathroom, many of the original fixtures, fittings and furniture are still intact and functional.
The cottage has three upstairs bedrooms to sleep five. There is a bathroom, a kitchen, utility room, a lounge and the main living room and dining area; - the original kitchen must have once been in this room. There are a number of outbuildings, some of which would be suitable for storage of items like golf clubs, fishing rods and other sporting gear.
There are three fireplaces, although only the one in the main living room tends to be used. An abundant fuel supply in a nearby shed is available.

Letterkenny takes its name from the Irish " Leitirceanainn " - meaning the "Hillside of the O'Cannons" - the O'Cannons being the last of the ancient chieftains of Tir Conaill. Another derivation of the name Letterkenny from the Irish "Leitir Ceann-Fhoinn" could possibly be the "Fairheaded".
Letterkenny is the main shopping town in Donegal with a lively night life and has a wide range of pubs restaurants and shops to choose from.

The nearby Letterkenny Golf Club has a beautiful 18 hole, 6239 yards, Par 70 Parkland Championship course. The course takes advantage of natural variances of elevation with four holes wrapped around the banks of Lough Swilly and the 'top seven' holes affording the golfer a panoramic view of the Lough-side and the picturesque garland hills and wooded countryside. Nestled within 147 acres of tranquil bliss the golfer's game will be shared with no-one but nature and its splendid beauty.

Other attractions in the immediate locality include horse riding, bicycle hire, theatre, cinema, pitch and putt, indoor activity centres for children, leisure centre with swimming pool and tennis courts.
