  • "Just spent a lovely relaxing few days at ring fort."

    Really couldn't complain about anything. The hostess has hosting to perfection. Despite being right beside her own home you in no way feel like big brother is watching. The apartment is perfect for that decompressing getaway. Thanks so much to the owner...you went above and beyond!!

  • "Well, what can I say?"

    ... We loved it, everything about it. The owner was very friendly and the whole experience was fabulous. We are absolutely recommending this property with its lovely views as a perfect romantic getaway for a couple. Spotlessly clean and the decor and furniture is way above average. The owner told us that even more improvements were planned .. WOW! We would gladly book again. Outside the property, everything is nearby including local pubs and shops. 10/10

About the location

GLENTIES, COUNTY DONEGAL

Donegal Town 17 miles; Letterkenny 27 miles.

The picturesque town of Glenties meaning ‘The Glens’ is located in the heart of the Donegal Highlands, at the meeting point of the two glens of the Owenea and Stranaglough rivers on the northwest edge of the Bluestack Mountains. The two rivers, particularly the Owenea are well known for their salmon fishing. Although a small town, Glenties offers seven pubs, four general and grocery shops and three takeaways in its busy main street. Glenties is a five times winner of Ireland’s tidiest town and has won the Entente Florale Europe Competition. The area offers visitors many opportunities to hill-walk in the Bluestack Mountains and enjoy the scenery of the Bluestack Way, as well as the chance to explore the many other glens, mountains, dozens of lakes, and the rugged Atlantic coast with its sweeping bays and wide clean beaches. Other attractions include several archaeological remains, such as an ancient ring fort on an island in nearby Lough Doon, tremendous views everywhere you look, and the Finntown narrow gauge scenic railway, which runs alongside the two mile long Lough Finn. There are frequent local festivals and events in Glenties, and nearby towns, such as an annual Harvest Fair, plus live music can be enjoyed in pubs most nights, and golfers will appreciate the challenging links course at nearby Portnoo. The Glenties area is perfect for hill-walkers, hikers, bikers and tourists who wish to explore this varied, wild and rugged part of North West Ireland.
