The cottage is a re-creation of a traditional Irish cottage with pine floors and ceilings, the stairs are quite steep, but this would be the norm in old cottages. The bedroom furniture is all pine giving a warm comfortable feel to the cottages. There is an open fire with turf available in addition to oil fired central heating - an immersion heater is available for hot water on warmer summer days. The outside has a small garden with newly planted shrubs and flowers - still in their infancy, as the cottages are new. There is plenty of space outside for barbeque - outdoor table and chairs are supplied.

For those who would like to chill out, this is the perfect location, the stillness at night is amazing, the stars seem to multiply as they are not affected by light pollution. The cottages are also ideally located along the centre of the western seaboard, with excellent scenic drives to the north or south of the county - places and areas of special interest are well signposted.

The cottages are on a single track road, in a scenic area which still has that remoteness of old Donegal, among rocky wild countryside, with huge areas of wild whins sporting their striking yellow flowers. They are within 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes drive of the huge areas of sandy beaches – especially Arlands Strand and Keadue beach. You can walk for miles along the coast or explore the rocky outcrops and sea-pools.

For the scuba enthusiast there are the steep walls of the rocky outcrops which hold a variety of fish and sea creatures. This is especially interesting and safe for those children who want to explore or snorkel or scuba. They can be supervised from the rocks above the relatively shallow water.

For the fisherman there is deep sea angling from Burtonport, 10 minutes drive away or freshwater fishing in lake Wasker, 100 metres from the cottage. The cottages are on a recognised and well marked, interlinked network of walking trails. There are excellent award winning restaurants in the fishing port of Burtonport.

The Golf course on the peninsula of Cruit Island is within 15 minutes by car or there are several other courses within easy reach.

The land surrounding the cottages is an adventure playground for children with a rocky area and approximately 6 acres to explore - with pheasant, rabbits, birds and dragonflies. Lots of fish in the lake too.
