Great location for exploring Donegal.

Rosemary and Tim were extremely friendly and helpful. Great location and had everything I needed. Lots of animals around - 2 cats, some chickens, 2 donkeys, and of course Bella the Golden Retriever who liked to tap on the door to say hello. With sheep also in the field next to the cottage. Highly recommend.
