This well-presented home offers the best of Irish town and countryside living, along with spectacular views, for a restorative break with your loved ones.

Head out for a morning or afternoon ramble then enjoy a delicious pub meal in the village. This area is also popular with cyclists, with plenty of beautiful routes through the pretty Irish countryside. Buncrana (6 miles) is another tourist magnet, with its golf club, military museum and lovely beaches.

A wood burner, housed within an elegant brick fireplace, will keep you all warm during the chilly months. The spacious kitchen/dining room is kitted out with an Aga-style oven to bring out your inner chef, along with a wooden table for sharing meals together. The bathroom is also on the ground floor. When it’s time to retire for the night, head upstairs to one of the two cosy bedrooms, both with sturdy beds, elegant vaulted ceilings and soothing colour schemes.

In good weather, you’ll love relaxing in the partially enclosed garden which has furniture, including a picnic bench, so you can dine alfresco and lap up the wow-factor views.

This is a really lovely, comfortable cottage in a great location, with fabulous views and absolute peace and quiet. It's much more spacious than it looks in the photos, with plenty of outside space and views that you never tire of. George's cottage is very well equiped and also comes with some additional thoughtful touches that make your stay more Read morecomfortable - plenty of cushions and throws are provided throughout, a good variety of books, games and jigsaws are handy for bad weather days and camping chairs, a picnic hamper and rug are great for warmer weather, plus a small fan in each bedroom to keep the nights cool. The owner is super helpful, friendly and easily contactable if you do happen to need anything. One of the best things about this cottage is its fantastic location, being only 5 minutes drive to the nearest beach, 7 mins to the next one and 10 mins from Buncrana. It makes a great base for exploring Inishowen in particular, with its dramatic coastline and a variety of lovely empty beaches and the rest of Donegal is also within easy reach thanks to a good road network. I would definitely recommend George's cottage to anyone who is looking for some peace and quiet, comfort, fabulous countryside views and great beaches. Hide
