We stayed in this cottage in April whilst exploring Donegal and NW Northern Ireland. The cottage is beautifully appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay and is well placed to visit the NW. The owners, who live next door, are friendly and helpful without being in any way intrusive. Cant recommend highly enough.
