Yew Tree Cottage - Loughanure

Yew Tree Cottage is a very cosy 3 bedroom cottage with a wonderful location right in the heart of the  West Donegal Gaeltacht. It is situated on the outskirts of  Loughanure village and a short distance from the renowned Loughanure Lake.

The accommodation includes  2 double bedrooms and a twin room. There is a well designed kitchen and a comfortable living room. In addition there is a small garden to the front of the cottage and a large open garden to the back - an ideal playground for children.

Loughanure Lake

From the cottage it is a mere 500 metres to the shores of Loughanure Lake. This beautiful lake is 6km long by 1km wide. It has four islands. On the biggest island grows the Yew Tree. This island- Oileann Treorach - gives its name to the village.

Loughanure has been famous for many years as an angling haven. The lake has plenty of brown trout, salmon and rainbow trout. There is a strong angling club in the village that run fishing competitions regularly throughout the fishing season.
You can hire a boat for fishing - or pleasure. Alternatively you can stroll along the lake shore and enjoy some beautiful scenery, enjoy the fresh air and watch the wildlife which includes wild ducks, gannets and otters.
