Buncrana 4.9 miles. Resting in the countryside village of Stranaclea, near the coastal town of Buncrana, is this detached cottage, Big Hill Cottage. Set over a single storey and sleeping up to four guests, Big Hill Cottage is a rustic and romantic setting for your next County Donegal adventure, within easy reach of Londonderry and Letterkenny. A long driveway invites you to the property with parking and lots of grass land surrounding the rustic white cottage, before you enter into the kitchen/diner where traditional beams remain in place and a woodburning stove offers a sense of comfort, so decided who the dedicated chef will be and gather round the dining room table to enjoy a home-cooked meal.
