Guests can expect to rewind the clock and step into times gone by with an experience in this delightful, restored thatched cottage. This Ardara cottage has been lovingly decorated throughout and retains all the original features and characteristics of a traditional Irish cottage including a large, hearth fireplace, flag stone flooring, feature beams and a half door.

    , totally enjoyed our stay.

  • Panthou

    It's an unforgettable experience. Bathroom very good, bedrooms comfortable and living room perfect. The kitchen, the smallest in Donegal it says, would be perfect if it had more efficient electric hobs. Beware, you'll have to put in coins to run the heating and electricity. Showers are free.

    When first opening the gate and setting foot I was instantly transported to another time. The owner has given a lot of thought on maintaining the original features of the cottage with the experience of living authentically. The grounds have been landscaped and created earnestly which has given that extra magic while you explore and discover hidden spots on the land to sit and take in. The cottage's surrounding beauty with the additional Glengesh Pass backdrop gives that extra unique comfort when having your evening meal outside or breakfast. The location will also be especially appealing to keen cyclists and hikers, who have quick access to explore beyond Glengesh Pass and travel to Slieve Liag, Silver Strand, Glencolmcille, Teelin Pier and many more spots I must still discover. With the additional sounds of sheep bleating in the distance and the mystical cuckoo, if you want to rest and escape, Granny Kate's is a must. I'm really looking forward to returning.
