Tariff 2008

"Slieve Snaght" Cottage is named after the imposing hill which it faces. At just over 800 meters high, it is the highest peak in Inishowen, and appropriately the name means "Snowy Mountain" in Irish. Situated in picturesque surroundings above the Cloontagh River, in the hills some three miles outside Clonmany,  the cottage is also in a quiet and peaceful location, away from any noise or disturbance, and is a great place to stay if you are into hill walking and rambling.

The town of Clonmany is approximately three miles away. The town holds three annual festivals:
The Clonmany Festival;
 - about to celebrate its 40th anniversary in August of 2007. It's a week long festival with fun for all the family, with parades, fancy dress, pipe bands, a baby competition, dancing, teen disco, pub talent, treasure hunt, wellie throwing, golf challenge...and much more. Every day, apart from the above events, there is an open-air music concert in the town square.

The McGlinchey Summer School;
 - is a Trades, Skills and Traditional Crafts programme held in June. Celebrating the multi-skills of our ancestors in past times, in the fields of agriculture, weaving, cooking, baking, knitting, dressmaking, etc. (Many of these skills have been only recently "lost" as technology has moved in to all areas of our lives.)

The Inishowen Singing Circle:
- (the 18th Inishowen International Folk Song and Ballad Seminar will be held in March 23rd - 26th 2007.) A festival of traditional folk and ballad singing, to celebrate, encourage and perpetuate the folk singing traditions of the Inishowen Peninsula; with enthusiastic participants from not only Inishowen, but also Scotland, Britain & America.

Between Straid and Crossconnel, about 2Km west of the town, is the spectacular Glenevin Waterfall. The ramble up the valley to the waterfall is on a well designed, safe and sign-posted pathway. Newly installed picnic areas along the way, provide areas for those wishing to have a meal, or just stop and rest or take in the views. Footbridges criss-cross the babbling stream along the way, but stepping stones are available for the more adventurous.

From Clonmany, heading East through Meentagh Glen towards Buncrana, stop at the Glendowen Tweed Shop, where you can view or purchase handcrafted tweed garments designed and created by Ann McGonigle using traditional methods.

We can't end this piece without mentioning that the famous Ballyliffin Golf Club is a 15 minute drive away, as is the Isle of Doagh outdoor exhibition/museum otherwise known as the "Famine Village"; - well worth a visit. There are about 13 pubs in the parish, 8 in Clonmany itself, 2 in Ballyliffin and 3 in the surrounding area. Numerous hotels, (5 in Ballyliffin, which have their own bars and restaurants.) A little further away in Culdaff, visit McGrory's; a hotel, pub and restaurant, with a popular music venue known as Mac's Backroom Bar. McGrory's has a reputation for fine food, good service and great craic!
