Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. Enjoy serenity and peace. Listen to the birds, the weather, and the sound of silence. This is an idyllic spot just off the Wild Atlantic Way yet close to everything - Lettermacaward, Dungloe, Glenties, Portnoo, and Ardara are close by. There are two local bars and a shop - and a beach within walking distance or two minutes in the car. This is Donegal at its finest with a warm and welcoming local community. You don’t find this place.... it finds you!
The house has three double rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and living room with sliding doors out into a large decking area, which has fabulous sea views. The space is ideal to be used as a retreat, for quiet time, or for long walks on Dooey beach.
Idyllic scenic location close to Dungloe, the Glenties and Portnoo. Lettermacaward hosts three pubs, two shops, a filling station and, most importantly, beautiful beaches, especially the scenic Dooey Beach. This is Ireland at its most beautiful - unspoiled, welcoming, friendly, romantic and rugged.
The fabulous Dooey Beach is nearby : A broad 3km long strip of sand facing due west onto the Atlantic with waves that surfers will travel far and wide to ride. - So, if the weather and conditions are right, this would be the perfect accommodation for a group of enthusiatic Gweebara Bay surfers.
While the appeal for surfers is in no doubt, the cottage also serves as an ideal touring base for this unique area of west Donegal, and its many other scenic attractions and outdoor activities.
Perhaps, one the most increasingly popular activities is hill-walking or rambling. A healthy and rewarding activity, which has minimal risk, requires little more than good walking shoes & protective clothing, and costs nothing to participate. With all the lakes and coves and beaches and the rugged hills of Donegal, the walker is spoilt for choice. For some, a real challenge would be the ascent of Mount Errigal; Donegal's highest peak.
Other activities are: Angling and deep-sea fishing. (There is Salmon in the Gweebarra River.) For deep sea fishing, one may need to check on the availability and hiring/booking of a boat etc.
For the golfer, the Portnoo/Nairn golf club is only 8 miles away, with many more courses around Donegal to choose from.
The kitchen has all modern amenities including a breakfast bar, hob and oven, dishwasher and washing machine. A Lakeland electric dryer is provided.
The interior-designed living room has sea views, a wood-burning stove for cosy nights in, and sunsets that are to die for! This is a little piece of heaven. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing. Sit and sip a glass of wine as the sun sets.
The holiday home has 3 bedrooms to sleep up to 6 people
Bedroom 1: King bed
Bedroom 2: Double bed
Bedroom 3: Double bed
There is a bathroom adjacent to the bedrooms.

I travel a lot so I'm always looking for interesting places to stay - anything to avoid another carbon copy hotel - and this has got to be one of the best local travel sites I've seen. Plenty of detail, tons of photos, excellent location info and clear pricing - everything I need to make an informed call. Great job and I'll be recommending the site to anyone else I know who's travelling in Donegal.
