About this property
Rathmullan 5.9 miles. This charming, traditional detached cottage is in an isolated position between Rathmullan and Milford. Offering breathtaking views of Lough Swilly, this cottage is a perfect retreat for couples or a family looking to completely get away from it all. Set all on the ground floor, there is a spacious kitchen with a dining area which is a cheerful space to enjoy a hearty breakfast before heading out into the countryside. The sitting room has a multi-fuel stove which keeps the cold at bay and provides a cosy room to retire to in the evenings. Completing the accommodation are two charming double bedrooms. Outside you will find a gravelled area with a lawned garden where you can see the countryside stretching for miles to the lough and hills in the distance. This is all the inspiration you need for you to pull on your walking boots and get out there to explore. For an evening out, head to the seaside village of Rathmullan where there are a choice of restaurants and pubs including the award-winning Rathmullan House. You can also have a go at some watersports on Lough Swilly or test out your swing at one of the golf courses on the shore. For a day out, Glenveagh National Park is a must. You will find Glenveagh Castle and Gardens and a number of different walking trails to enjoy. This delightful cottage is an ideal choice with a number of activities on offer in the area.
Nestled on the shore of Lough Swilly on the Fanad Peninsula, the quaint village of Rathmullan has a colourful history. It was from here that the last of the Celtic chieftains fled Ireland, now known as the Flight of the Earls, and there is an interesting heritage centre in the village commemorating this vital event in Irelands history. This sleepy seaside village offers a variety of local shops and pubs and a long sandy beach ideal for lazy days.

The couch and chairs werenât great , i put the cushions on , and then it was fine . We found the locked heating door a bit insulting , to be honest , I know the oil was timed on and off which again left us with no options either to turn it off or on . As you know we lit the stove as we were cold on Easter Sunday and my daughter and children were visiting , when my husband rang you , he was told the oil could only be on at the setting time . Unfortunately the stove hasnât been fitted properly and started to bang and guggle in the locked press , we were a little worried it could blow up , as that happened to a neighbour of ours a few years ago . Anyway Pat did come in , when he was checking his sheep etc and told us to run the hot water until it stopped . We didnât lit it again until Wednesday but only for a short time as my daughter and grandkids were there again . The beds were ok , we used both as I found the bed too small to share with my husband , he tosses and turns all night , so both bedrooms were used . The mattresses on both beds could do with an upgrade , but other than that , the cottage was lovely , like a step back in time , and we had everything we could need in the cottage . The eggs were amazing , thank you. I hope you can take out findings as they are intended with the greatest respect . Bronagh and Pat

And it certainly didn't disappoint. Lovely and cosy after a day out and plenty big enough for us four adults. The fresh eggs were a delicious bonus, thank you. Should we ever visit your part of Ireland again we'll be booking with you. Thank you for a cosy, very comfortable week.
