Keelogs Cottage is a recently
refurbished 2 bedroom cottage set in a tranquil rural location just
outside the village of Churchill in North Donegal. The holiday
home has beautiful landscaped gardens and overlooks mature woodlands.
It is an ideal location for those looking for a quiet country
retreat.
Churchill itself is a small
village located 8 miles form Donegal's main town, Letterkenny.
The name derives from its location on top of a small hilltop. There are
3 traditional style Irish pubs in the village - a fast disappearing
sight in modern Ireland!
Just to the north of Churchill the River Lennon runs into the
beautiful Lough Gartan. Gartan is the birthplace of Colmcille -
one of the foremost Irish Saints who founded the famous monastery on the
Isle of Iona in Scotland. The Colmcille Heritage Centre on the
shores of Lough Gartan celebrates his life and work. Nearby is the
Glebe Gallery which contains the renowned Derek Hill Collection
of Victorian and 20th century art works.
The cottage is centrally located in North
Donegal. County Donegal as a whole is renowned for its unspoilt
natural beauty with superb blue flag beaches, spectacular
coastline and majestic highlands.
Glenveagh National Park in the Derryveagh Mountains is
the jewel in the crown of Donegal tourism. This magnificent park lies
just to the north of Churchill an d contains 14,000 hectares of lakes,
mountains, raised bogland and woodland. The golden eagle has been
reintroduced into the park in recent years. Other birds that can be seen
include grouse, ravens, redstarts, stonechats and wood warblers. The
park has the largest herd of red deer in Ireland and also features
foxes, badgers, hares and stoats. The 19th century Glenveagh Castle on
the shores of Lough Veagh is open to the public throughout the
tourist season.
