Region: The West of Ireland conjures up many images; thatched, whitewashed cottages, a flock of sheep on a narrow road, an emerald green field with a stone wall, or the Atlantic waves crashing into towering cliffs and rocky shores.
Town: 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 Ireland’s history. This sleepy seaside village offers a variety of local shops and pubs and a long sandy beach ideal for lazy days.

The property was just beautiful. We wanted an isolated property but not too far from shops. The house was lovely and warm with everything needed for a trouble free holiday. We've been to this area so many times before it was like coming home. Anne changed the linen half way through our stay which was lovely but not necessary. We would love to come again.

Perfect peace
This was a perfect place to relax and also explore the surrounding countryside which was beautiful. The cottage was comfortable with everything we needed. The hosts were extremely helpful and went out of their way to assist us. I fully recommend this place for those looking to get away from it all and relax.
