“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 ...

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.

About the location

MALIN HEAD, COUNTY DONEGAL

Carndonagh 8 miles; Culdaff 10 miles; Ballyliffin 14 miles; Derry 33 miles.

Malin Head on the Inishowen Peninsula is famous for being the most northerly point in Ireland. It is home to some of Ireland’s most beautiful rugged coastline and stunning sandy beaches, which together provide ample fishing opportunities and a haven for birdwatchers, artists, photographers, walkers and golfers. The picturesque area has even been taken advantage of and used as one of the filming locations for Star Wars. Take a walk up to Banba's Crown, the most northerly headland in Ireland, and take in the spectacular scenery and stunning views, which on a clear day, stretch for miles around. A walk around Malin Head is just over five miles and takes a little over two hours so why not stop off for a refreshing drink at Ireland’s most northerly pub and enjoy the views? 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. A day trip for all the family to enjoy is the traditional walled city of Derry; discover a part of Ireland's history and heritage in St. Columb's Cathedral, tour the walls and enjoy the Tower Museum. With all of this plus pubs, restaurants and shops to enjoy, there will be something to keep everybody occupied.
