Donegal Cottage Holidays Home Page

Cosy Cottage

Traditional 1-bedroom holiday cottage located in a tranquil scenic area on a country laneway near Creeslough in north County Donegal. The cottage is ideal for a peaceful self-catering holiday or a romantic country retreat. The surrounding countryside is dominated by the majestic Muckish Mountain. The cottage itself is well-equipped and ideal for a self-catering holiday.  Due to its location, it enjoys peace and privacy amid wonderful rugged countryside, ideal for a quiet country retreat. 

Ideal Touring Base

The holiday home is centrally located - just 4km from Creeslough Village. The Irish word Creeslough means The Belt of Lakes - a reference to the many lakes that surround the village. Creeslough is the home of the famous Bridie Gallagher - The First Lady of Irish Song.

North Donegal

The cottage has a very central location on the North Donegal coast - it is 12km from Dunfanaghy, 15km from Carrigart and 18km from Downings. Letterkenny - which is Donegal's largest town - is only 20km away and offers a wide range of retail outlets, cinema, theatre, restaurants, banks, hospital, etc.

There are few areas of Ireland which enjoy such an unspoilt environment with a wealth of opportunity for open-air activities. In addition to the beautiful beaches at Downings, Dunfanaghy, Marble Hill, Ards Forest Park and the entire region is a fisherman’s paradise with trout and salmon lakes and rivers in the area. 

Within half an hour of the cottage, there are a number of spectacular coastal drives including the Atlantic Drive, Lough Salt Drive and the coastal road around Horn Head.

Fanad Light House, one of the world's most beautiful lighthouses, is located on the north coast of Donegal, on the wild and windswept Fanad peninsula, which is a 30-minute drive from Cosy Cottage. (Guided tours of the lighthouse were available prior to the Covid pandemic.)

Local Activities

Rock and mountain climbing are popular in this spectacular landscape with Errigal, Muckish and the Derryveagh mountains all easily reachable.

Windsurfing, water skiing, scuba, canoeing and sailing are popular activities in the general locality - Marble Hill Beach. 

For the golf enthusiast there are four 18 hole courses - at Rosapenna, Dunfanaghy and Carrigart.

Horse-riding, cycling, hill walking and painting are ever popular in this beautiful area.

Glenveagh National Park

A herd of native red deer roams the mountains and valleys in the nearby 10,000 hectares Glenveagh National Park, famed for its castle, lakes, formal gardens, exotic plants and rare birds - including the recently reintroduced golden eagle.  Tours of the castle available also - payable. 

In the more immediate locality of the holiday home, you will find the famous Lackagh Bridge, the historic Doe Castle and the enchanting Ards Forest Park. The historical Owencarron Viaduct is also close by.
