Shannagh

Portsalon 5.1 miles.

Resting in the quaint settlement of Shannagh, a short drive north of Portsalon in County Donegal, lies the charming, three-bedroom holiday cottage of Cooladerry Cottage.

With off-road parking for three cars, a tastefully-presented, open-plan living space, and superb views of the Atlantic Ocean, Lough Swilly, Shannagh Lough and surrounding rolling hills, this delightful property welcomes a family or group of sharing friends for a relaxing escape to the beautiful Irish countryside.

Park up, unpack and make yourself at home in your lovely new dwelling, where a well-equipped kitchen awaits the chosen chef with all the appliances required to rustle up a tasty, home-cooked meal.

Savour your dinners at the dining table before you gather in the sitting area to catch up on the day's events by the warming embrace of a crackling open fire.

As day rolls into night, refresh with a rejuvenating shower on your way to settle down for a well-earned rest in one of the three inviting bedrooms.

In the morning, take a cup of coffee out into the rear garden to soak in more of your gorgeous surroundings before you slip on your shoes to go explore what your local area has to offer.

Hop in the car and head east to stock up on essentials at McAteer Stores before you sit down to enjoy a delicious pub lunch at the Lighthouse Tavern.

Head south to Portsalon, where you can enjoy a cup of tea or coffee at The Portacabin and enjoy a round of golf at the Portsalon Golf Club, before you head for a scenic stroll along the lush sands of Portsalon Beach.

Your trip to the region would be incomplete without also stopping by the landmarks of Fanad Head Lighthouse, The Great Arch and the Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Point, all within easy reach of your fabulous new home.

Whatever you get up to during your next stay in Donegal, be sure to do it from Cooladerry Cottage.
