Gatehouse No24

Step into history at The Gatehouse, an original railway house dating back to the 1890s, nestled near Burtonport on Ireland's stunning Donegal coast. This character-filled property offers a rare chance to stay somewhere steeped in heritage, once part of the line that shaped this coastal community.
