  • "We stayed here for a few nights at the end of August and would definitely recommend it."

    House being done up by owner but perfectly fine as it is at the moment. Was able to take our dog with us and the house had a penned in area out the back where she could safely run about. Very clean and fully functioning kitchen where you can make a meal and even do washing if you require. House is situated local to a number of locations to visit and enjoy. Will definitely go back very reasonably priced.

  • "Great, location to explore wild Atlantic way and Donegal."

    A new property that the owner is refining as she grows the business. Priced accordingly. The owner is on hand to help if needed. Lovely treats on arrival which was a nice surprise. Good accommodation in a great location

About the location

GORTAHORK, COUNTY DONEGAL

Glenveagh National Park 11.5 miles; Dungloe 18 miles; Letterkenny 27 miles.

The village of Gortahork is situated on the north western tip of the County Donegal coast, and is an increasingly popular location for surfing and walking. There are several beautiful beaches around the area, and the village is home to the Samhain International Poetry Festival each year. From Gortahork, Glenveagh National Park is easily accessible for a great day out, and with 16,000 acres, it is a walker's paradise. The renowned artist Derek Hill bequeathed his house and gallery near Glenveagh along with his art collection to the nation in 1980, attached is Glebe Gallery and tea rooms which hosts many exhibitions. For a day's relaxation head to nearby Bunbeag which has a swimming pool and a spa area or An Chuirt Hotel which lies at the foot of the Errigal Mountain and has its own health club and spa. Island-hopping is fun for all the family, and from Gortahork, you can charter a boat and visit Arranmore, Cruit Island and Owey Island. Cruit Island is joined to the mainland by a bridge, so is easily reached by car, but chartering a boat is much more exciting! Nearby, the town of Dungloe plays host to the annual ‘Mary From Dungloe’ festival, and is renowned for its fantastic fishing. This is a great location, and an ideal base for touring the area.
