High Glen Cottage

High Glen Cottage is a luxurious 3 bedroom holiday home with an absolutely idyllic location near the small village of Glen in North County Donegal. Situated on a hillside the cottage enjoys breathtaking panoramic views over Glen Lough towards Muckish Mountain and the Donegal Highlands.

The holiday home has been carefully designed to make maximum use of natural sunlight - and to enable the visitor to enjoy the stunning vistas outside. All 3 bedrooms together with the living area and the sun room enjoy breathtaking lake and mountain views.

Ideal Touring Base

The holiday home is just a few hundred metres from the shores of Glen Lough. It is 1km from Glen village, 5 km from Carrigart and just over 6 km to the superb championship golf links at Rosapenna near Downings. With the opening of the new Mulroy Bridge near Carrigart the holiday home is centrally located to explore 3 of the most beautiful peninsulas in Donegal - Fanad, Rosguill and Horn Head. It is also ideally located for the golfer - 3 of the finest links courses in the North West are within a half hour's drive - Rosapenna, Dunfanaghy and Portsalon.

Glen Lough

Glen Lough itself is a beautiful tree-lined lake with a wonderful mountain background - including the spectacular Muckish Mountain. Salmon and Sea-Trout fishing are available on the Lough and on the nearby Lackagh River - permits are required and are available locally. The village of Glen is located at the eastern end of Glen Lough under the shade of Lough Salt Mountain. In the village, the visitor will find the renowned Old Glen Bar. This is a traditional pub/restaurant that serves excellent food.
