Beautiful setting and a great location for day trips

Glenbeg is a semi-secluded wonderfully peaceful location. The house and surrounding grounds are a natural wonder onto itself worthy of exploration. The houses' location, centered the county Donegal, is ideal for day trips along the Wild Atlantic Way from the Fanad Head lighthouse, to Horn Head Lookout, and Portsalon. The many picturesque towns like Ramelton (visit the Blue Goat store), Rathmullan, Dunfanaghy are worthwhile to visit. Lastly the hike up Errigal was a challenge, but the view makes the trek worth the climb. We will visit again for sure.

Family break

We really enjoyed our stay here with the family and our dog Chance. The surrounding area and scenery was beautiful but unfortunately we only explored a little of the many acres around us. The view from the sun house was amazing a really lovely spot to sit with the family with the fire going enjoyin the peace and chatting and drinking looking up to the stars....if you want a relaxing holiday with plenty of walks, fishing and lovely scenery then this place is defo for you. Couldnt recommend enough.

Beautiful Glenalla

Glenbeg is set in the beautiful Glenalla Estate. The house itself is surrounded by trees and is very private. It’s certainly the perfect place for a peaceful and relaxing break and a great location for touring Donegal. We loved walking around the estate with our dogs and it was great to have use of the tennis court. Glenbeg Tower has everything you could want, lovely comfy bed right up in the tower, living room on the first floor with views of the trees. Good sized kitchen with all amenities. We loved sitting out on the terrace in the evening. Overall we had a great time at Glenbeg.

Glenbeg

Arrived with no problem finding the property as party of 5 adults and 2 dogs. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed plenty of walks exploring the beautiful grounds.The property was perfect and the kitchen had everything you would need and the bedrooms were spotless with plenty of towels for everyone. Fergus was a great contact and brought us the tennis racquets after my daughter contacted the host that day. We would highly recommend this property for a family etc with pets for a relaxed break from their busy lives and spend quality.time together in a quiet location.

This review is based on our experience. Based on all the lovely and positive reviews, we booked the property. With the directions given by the host we could find it well. It's lovely located in a beautiful forest. When we arrived, the property did not look that inviting: there's clearly work to be done: it shows signs of years of neglect (rotting window, rusty and broken entrance to cellar). Inside, we did not get a welcoming feeling either. The place felt very worn out. The pictures did show a property with old furniture and not the newest kitchen, we knew all that, and that would be fine. But seeing it in reality, it was much worse. The kitchen is very old, lit with TL-lights on the ceiling. Worst of all, it was dirty. We had the impression that only the floor in the kitchen area had been cleaned. Everthing in the kitchen felt sticky, even everything in the cupboards. The other rooms were not clean either: dead flies everywhere, old cobwebs, all the curtains had not been washed for years and years. The couches were old and worn out. The patio outside was not welcoming either: lots of rust and full of dirt and cobwebs. There are two tiny bathrooms: one with a tiny bath and one with a shower. The shower did not work: the water heater was broken and the wires were exposed. Dangerous! Electr. was not ok either: we checked it and it had electr. on the earth wire. That should have been fixed as we told the host. We vacated the property after 1 night. We did not feel at home.

I absolutely love this place. I spent 3 month here with my cats and felt so happy to be there. The tower itself if beautiful and cosy and is a wonderful place to spend time, but the biggest highlight has to be the incredible nature of the whole Glenalla Estate. Between woodland and stunning gardens it is a natural paradise! Also the Franklin family are wonderful and very helpful hosts.

Such a Special Place

Glenbeg for us was the perfect escape.This historic house is so charming, it’s just poetic. It has all the comforts of modern day living too. It’s a special and tranquil place, set in an ancient wood, a mycologists paradise. You can hike up to a heather moor for a spectacular view of the Donegal hills and Lough Swilly. The weather was incredibly kind to us and we were able to enjoy the local beaches and the phenomenal golf courses. The area has many amenities and excellent dining options. We loved getting lost on the scenic back roads of the County, always happy to make our way back to the serenity of Glenbeg at the end the day. Wonderful and receptive hosts and warm helpful welcome on arrival, so appreciated. We all have a yearning to get back there, such a special place.

Glenalla - a nature lovers paradise and so much more!

This is a beautiful holiday home for anyone who is interested in getting away from the cares of everyday life. You are immediately transported to a different era. The house is a quirky, historical gem set in the middle of a beautiful,extensive forested area where nature abounds. A charming walled garden adds to its appeal. We all, particularly the children loved the proximity of the house to the fantastic beaches that Donegal has to offer (20-40mins) . We were blessed with the most beautiful weather and spent every day at the beach. Our favourite was Ballymastocker, where we had such fun on our body boards. Surfing school also takes place here. Our hosts couldn't have been more helpful.. They were on holiday in the large house, which is within walking distance, as is another house on the property. Privacy is not an issue however and we were not intruded upon in any way. We wish Diana and Donal, Michele and Rodney and all the family the very best with their amazing home. We thank them and Fergus and Natalie for making us feel so welcome. Please note that the bedrooms and bathrooms are all upstairs and that the stairs to the top floor bedroom are a little tricky to negotiate but this did not bother us at all and add to the character of the house.
