Perched in a scenic location above Donegal Bay, this traditional countryside cottage boasts a prime location for exploring Mountcharles and the surrounding coast. Sleeping 13 guests across five bedrooms, this dog-friendly property provides an abundance of space for multigenerational family gatherings and long-overdue reunions with friends. Grab a coffee to go from a local cafe then explore the vibrant streets of Donegal town (4 miles). This area is filled with exciting opportunities to get outside and explore beauty spots, while the town is a bustling hub with lovely attractions and places to eat out. Learn of the turbulent local history as you scope out the imposing and magical 15th-century Donegal Castle (4 miles) then be captivated by live music and Irish craic at one of the intimate pub venues (within 4 miles).

This inviting property features a spacious interior with warm wooden detailing, rich earthy colours, and large rooms. Unravel outer layers at the door then congregate in the kitchen/diner for nibbles. Rustle up a snack board in the open-plan kitchen with views across the garden. Mark your special occasion with a celebratory feast gathered at the long dining table. Retire to the lounge and sneak a post-dinner snooze in the glow of the open fire or snuggle up on the sofas with a film. When the evening draws in, discover five homely bedrooms set across both floors, each providing serene spaces for a restful night’s sleep.

Outside, perch on the patio with an al fresco morning spread and admire the glistening ocean backdrop or play fetch with your dog on the lovely lawn.
