Laburnum Lodge - Donegal Town

Laburnum Lodge Holiday Cottage, nestled in the Donegal Countryside is just minutes walk away from the Atlantic coast, and is ideally located for exploring the North West region of Ireland. The surrounding area of Murvagh Beach with its scenic views, amazingly breathtaking coast and its accessibility to a contrastingly entertaining night life close by in Donegal Town lies just minutes away by car, surely something to both accommodate and entertain all ages; the perfect place for all to enjoy.

Laburnum Lodge Holiday Cottage boasts its own secure and enclosed garden for the younger members of the family. Family pets are allowed to join you on your vacation, but, we would ask that you would refrain from brining them into the house. A garage is provided for your pet to sleep in at night.

Local Activities

There are many daily activities nearby, such as, horse riding, golf and fishing, and depending on your requirements, Murvagh beach can offer either excitement or tranquility a stones throw from your door-step. Donegal Golf Club (Murvagh), with its unbeatable reputation for championship golf at its best, and local rivers and lakes for fishing are literally on your doorstep.

The beautiful sandy beach of Murvagh is just a five minute walk from Laburnum Lodge Holiday Cottage. A little further away is the beach at Rossnowlagh, just a five minute drive. Both beaches have Blue Flag status and are lifeguarded from June 22-August 30 daily.

Murvagh beach is an extensive sandy beach, and is calm and sheltered. Rossnowlagh is a heavily used beach with a long tradition of beach parking and large resident and day-tripper populations. It is one of Irelands main surfing beaches.

Surrounding Area

The hills and valleys surrounding Laburnum Lodge Holiday Cottage is ideal terrain for those who are keen on walking. There are way-marked routes that give ample choice of leisurely strolls nearby to the cottage.

North of Donegal Town, the Bluestack Mountains are extremely popular with hill walkers because of the beautiful unspoilt countryside surrounding them, while Slieve League, less than an hour away by car, has Europe's highest sea cliffs.

Donegal Golf Club is locally known as Murvagh Golf Club, and is set in one of the most scenic parts of Ireland with some of the headlands and islands of West Donegal providing a magnificent backdrop to the 18 hole links course.

The 6,800 metre par 73 course can be a demanding test, especially if there is a wind blowing in from the Atlantic. This golf course is literally on your doorstep.

The nearby Salmon Inn in Mullinasole, Jamesie's Bar in Ballintra and numerous bars and hotels in Donegal Town, have regular lively sessions of traditional music, and attract some of the most talented players and singers from near and far. If you are celebrating a special occasion during the summer, why not treat yourself to the Summer Cabaret in Harvey's Point Country Hotel, Lough Eske

There is fishing, literally in your backyard. With your own private access and prepared area, the Murvagh river runs behind the Cottage. The river is very well stocked with salmon and trout, and will keep the keen angler fully occupied. Details can be obtained from any fisheries board web page.
