Glenalla Cottage - Rathmullan

Glenalla Cottage is a delightful Irish cottage located in a very peaceful rural setting in North Donegal. It is centrally located between the 3 main villages that lie to the south of the beautiful Fanad Peninsula – the seaside resort of Rathmullan, the Heritage Town of Ramelton and the market town of Milford.

Glenalla Cottage has been beautifully restored in recent years. By retaining many period features it has successfully combined the old with the new. Traditional features include exposed ceiling beams, rough stone walls, belfast sink and cast iron fireplaces. An attractive feature is a number of stained glass windows.

Rathmullan and Ramelton

A short drive from the holiday home is the popular family seaside village of Rathmullan. The village is well served with shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. There is a nice playground at the beach front and charter boats operate from the pier. A local equestrian centre offer pony trekking on the beach. The nearby town of Ramelton is noted for its Georgian Architecture. The Bridge Bar in the town is a renowned music venue. Just 20km from the cottage is Portsalon which has a superb blue flag beach and a top class links golf course.
