Lake View Retreat

 

Lake View Retreat is a luxurious home on the doorstep of Glenveagh National Park, Donegal's top tourist attraction. Co Donegal was named the "coolest place on the planet" by National Geographic Traveller and this house is the perfect base to explore the Wild Atlantic Way and wonders of the area. This is a beautiful, family friendly property measuring approx 3,500 sq ft over 3 floors.

 Bookings must be made through Airbnb at the following link - https://www.airbnb.ie/rooms/33638589?s=51  A security deposit of €500 is required.  This is not collected up-front by Airbnb but the host can make a claim for damages within 14 days of check-out.  Any claim against the security deposit will be adjudicated by Airbnb.  

 

The Space

The ground floor is predominantly open plan with the kitchen, dining and living space in one main area. All mod cons are available in the kitchen including a Sage coffee machine and a wine fridge. There is a Stanley Stove in the centre of the living space where you can burn solid fuel and a flatscreen Smart TV. The area is surrounded with window seating where you can soak in the lake views.

There is a separate sitting room with another Stanley Stove and flatscreen Smart TV. There are beautiful lake views from the couch!

There is also a ground floor bedroom with queen size bed, bathroom with shower (wet room style so wheelchair accessible) and utility room with washing machine, dryer etc.

On the first floor, you will find a large master bedroom with king bed and en-suite (double sink and shower in wet room style). This bedroom has a stunning view of the lake.

There is another double en-suite bedroom with queen size bed at the front of the house, also with beautiful lake view. At the rear of the house, there is a large bedroom which has bunk beds with a double bed on the bottom and single on top. The rear bedroom is usually set up for girls but can be changed to neutral colours.

The top floor is a large open-plan games room with a bouncy castle (for small kids) and scaletrix racing track. If you are bringing small kids, please let us know and we will leave toys available for use. The stairs to the top floor are quite steep so kids must be supervised at all times there and particularly while using the bouncy castle.

We can also make the following items available if you are bringing kids -

kids bikes and helmets (3 bikes which would fit ages approx 8 years - 3 years);
wet suits and booties (would fit ages approx 6 years - 3 years);
body boards for the beach;
board games, toys.

We can provide a travel cot and a high chair.

The property has underfloor heating and is well insulated so always feels warm and cosy, whatever the weather.

The property is serviced by high speed fibre internet, which is boosted throughout the house. There are two "Smart" TV's in the living area and the sitting room, where you can watch Netflix etc. There is limited mobile phone coverage inside the house (it is in a black spot for mobile coverage) but the internet is strong.
