About this property
Tucked away on the outskirts of Ballybofey in County Donegal, near the banks of the tranquil River Finn, rests this charming, two-bedroom holiday stay, Mary's Maisonette. Boasting off-road parking for three cars, tasteful interiors, and a superb position close to nearby shops and pubs, this delightful, first-floor dwelling welcomes a family of four or a group of sharing friends for a relaxing, fuss-free escape to Ireland. Park off-road, and head on up to your lovely new lodgings, where you'll find a range of well-appointed living spaces. A fully-equipped kitchen houses all the appliances the chosen chef will need to whip up a delicious, home-cooked meal, which can be savoured around the dining table whilst you and your loved ones catch up on the day's events. In the evenings, gather by the crackling embers of the open fire in the sitting room to plan the rest of your getaway, before you head to refresh with a rejuvenating shower on your way to hunker down for much-needed rest in either an inviting double or twin bedroom. After you've finished your morning coffee whilst sat in the rear garden, lace up your shoes and set out to explore your local surroundings. Head on foot into Ballybofey, one of the Twin Towns along with Stranorlar, where you can stock up on homely essentials at Centra Ballybofey before you fuel up with a hearty pub lunch at The Dog House. When you're ready, head out for a peaceful stroll along the banks of the River Finn or take time to embrace nature as you meander through the serene greens of Drumboe Woods. For a day out, make the brief car journey north to Letterkenny, where you can brush up on local history at the Donegal County Museum, practice your golf swing at the Letterkenny Golf Club, and even get up close and personal with exotic wildlife at Tropical World Zoo. Ballybofey is handy for North and Sounth Donegal with Buncrana, Creeslough, Killybegs, Ardara all less than 60km away. Make your next trip to Ireland one to remember by booking a stay at Mary's Maisonette.
Located through Barnesmore Gap in the heart of County Donegal and resting on the banks of the River Finn, Ballybofey is often mentioned in the same breath as its ‘twin town,’ Stranorlar, with the two towns separated by a small bridge across the River Finn. The river is noted for its quality trout and salmon fishing with a number of other fisheries dotting the area. The town has much to offer with a good selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs, a theatre, an 18-hole golf course and regular traditional music and other nightlife in the evenings. Walkers will enjoy exploring the local woodlands or the shore walk around Lough Trusk, while the 47km-long Bluestack Way, which meanders through the mountains of the same name, is also accessible.
