Donegal Cottage Holidays Home Page

Cois Farraige - Dungloe

Located on the shores of Traigheanna Bay, 5miles from the busy town of Dungloe, capital of The Rosses, midway along Donegal’s western seaboard and right on the Wild Atlantic Way, this lovingly restored cottage boasts sea views all around. In the idyllic townland of Marameelan, a short stroll from the beach, you feel like you are a million miles from the hustle and bustle of life and yet in one of the most convenient locations to visit a county as big as Donegal, from Fanad Head or Glenveagh National Park in the north to Slieve League or the port of Killybegs in the south. Most of the county can be reached in about 1 hour, leaving more time to explore and less time getting there.

A County Steeped in History and Tradition 

Learn about the role of the Donegal chieftains of yesteryear in Doe Castle or Donegal Castle or visit the Dungloe monument to the Donegal men- Tunnel Tigers- who gave their lives building transport networks around the world.

Excellent Fishing Lakes and Rivers

And yet you may not wish to travel since the Rosses, famed for its many lakes, rivers and magnificent coastline, provides excellent fishing and organised water-based activities/classes, as well as a selection of golf courses within easy reach. The choice of beaches in Donegal is endless (many Blue Flag), and you can begin almost at your front door in this cosy cottage, and if you should run out of beaches, you have the many islands – Arranmore, Gola, Tory and Bofin - just offshore with easy access. 

Entertainment and Shopping

In an area that’s home to Daniel O’Donnell, Clannad & Enya, there’s no shortage of lively entertainment in summer, thanks to the many pubs and venues. The county is also famous for its traditions and crafts, much of which can be seen in the Heritage town of Ardara, or you may just fancy a relaxing day of retail therapy, moving from Dungloe to the retail capital of Letterkenny or the famous McElhinneys in Ballybofey, no more than a 40-minute drive from Dungloe.
