About the host
Hosted by Mary Mullarkey
Our family is local to the area and my husband and I live nearby. The house sits adjacent to our farm where we keep a variety of animals including horses, cattle and sheep - in the summer we love watching the young foals play in the field beside the house.
Donegal is known for its scenery and when we have time, we enjoy taking walks on the local beaches of Murvagh and Rossnowlagh. We feel privileged to have so many beautiful restaurants to choose from in Donegal Town - some of our favourites being Quay West, The Market House & The Harbour. We are looking forward to our guests experiencing all that Donegal has to offer!
