"We have had a lovely stay here."
The house is fabulous! We found the notes very helpful and welcoming, the house was spotless and, of course, it has an amazing setting. We felt like guests in someone’s home. We met Sinead when we arrived and she was really friendly and helpful - checking in with us the next day about how we were settling in.

The property
Gortahork 0.8 miles.
Ballyness Bay is a charming, single-storey cottage near the beach and boasting exceptional sea views close to Gortahork, County Donegal.
This wonderful property offers guests a spacious front garden with a barbecue and is ideal for friends and families seeking a serene escape along Ireland's fantastic coastline.
Upon entering you will find the heart of the home, the kitchen/diner, where you can gather to enjoy home-cooked meals, prepared with the help of the array of appliances at your disposal.
A separate utility room houses a microwave and washing machine, catering to all of your laundry needs during your stay.
After a day of travel, kick back and relax in the sitting room where you can unwind in front of the TV.
Outside, the front garden offers a safe space for children to play, with a lawn and gravelled area for your enjoyment.
Make the most of warm evenings by dining alfresco on the outdoor furniture, perhaps even firing up the gas barbecue for a tasty summer feast.
When it's time to rest, you will be greeted by four well-presented bedrooms, two of which are doubles boasting their own en-suite facilities, complete with walk-in showers for added convenience and privacy.
There is a further double and a bunk bedroom, providing ample sleeping arrangements for all party configurations.
The property also benefits from an additional shower room, ensuring no morning queues or any rushes before setting off on your daily adventures.
A day at the beach beckons at either Magheraroarty or Falcarragh, both of which are nearby, but if adventure ignites your soul, explore the majestic wilderness of the Glenveagh National Park, rich with its vast hills, shimmering loughs and plentiful wildlife, a perfect opportunity to capture some memorable photographs.
Test your mettle at Donegal's Unique Ascent, where you can ascend craggy mountain terrains, or opt for a family day out at the Dunlewey Centre, sure to pique your curiosity with its traditional music, history, and culture.
Verdant hues of Cluain na dTor Gardens & Nursery provide serene settings for quiet contemplation, whilst the panoramic landscapes at View Point Dunlewey promise awe-inspiring vistas over the rugged beauty of County Donegal.
Your journey to Ireland begins at Ballyness Bay.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of €450.
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.
Note; There is a good housekeeping bond of 450 Euro
