“Wonderful and relaxing break”

We had a fantastic week staying here in September. Our welcome by Thomas was outstanding, and everything (and more) that we needed for the week was provided in the cottage. The scenery is beautiful, although the weather was as unpredictable as ever in Donegal. We were hoping to have good weather for a bbq, to enjoy the outdoor seating area, but were not lucky enough.

There are a couple of stunning beaches nearby, which our dog loved exploring. The nearest shop is in Malin town, which is far enough away to go for a pint of milk. We brought food with us, so didn't have any problems in this regard. The lane beside the cottage can be busy, so you need to keep an eye out if you have small children or pets. You can close the gates, although they are quite heavy to manuover. We will definitely be coming back to stay at Umgall again, as we had a brilliant time.

Beautiful sights to see nearby,regardless of weather.At Banba Crown (just 5mins drive from this cottage)is where latest Star Wars film was on location.Local population extremely friendly & helpful,this cottage has stunning views from kitchen table. The owner was extremely helpful should you need anything answered.I highly recommend this house for a holiday in Ireland. All bedding towels supplied which is great if flying into Derry City airport which is 40-60mins away.I will return to this house as we had such a great holiday there in beautiful Inishowen.

Only a short drive away lies Balyliffin with a beautiful beach and two world-class championship links golf courses, while Inishowen has five golf courses set amongst stunning scenery. The Famine Village on Doagh Island near Ballyliffin is open all summer and attracts thousands of visitors.
