About this property

Reduced Fees.Authentic,Romantic Private Cottage, Fall in Love with this place

Cozy Country Retreat, Perfect for everyone, including our Canine Friends!
Unwind in the Jacuzzi bath and while away the hours in a private, warm, authentic country cottage.
Recently refurbished throughout while it's authenticity has been preserved, particularly the original stone and brick fireplaces and original stone walls preserved as much as possible.
2 Double bedrooms, includes 1 with ensuite. Also a quirky mezzanine, with a single sofa bed. Ideal for relaxing in a quiet sunlit room.
A second loft room is an ideal spot for the young ones, with a Harry Potter theme.
Ideal for kids but also an ideal meditation place with comfortable low lighting and tucked away in a private space.
All new kitchen appliances.
Beautiful views through the valley, no passing traffic, except an occasional ewe and lamb. Or possibly our newly arrived Donkeys..Boy George and Bertie!
Perfect escape to enjoy a night sky, perfect for stargazing.
Check out your birdwatch app and be amazed at the number of birds who happily make the surrounding trees their home. What a privledge to share this space with our native and migratory birds.
Also perfect for our canine friends as the cottage is far from passing traffic.
15 minutes drive from Letterkenny.

Even nicer than you think

Really wish we could have spent more time there. The location, the views, the sheep in the front yard :-) We would happily take the whole family there next time, plenty of sleeping space and two full baths.

This was the most amazing place I've ever stayed. Clean and cozy and full of history. Surrounded by farms with sheep, cows and a stellar view. Nice warm beds and all the amenities you need, even a jacuzzi tub! 10/10 would recommend!

A bit of paradise in Ireland

Loved this cottage with history. We stayed in Rodden (not Owl) cottage, on the same property, and it was delightful. Lots of stone and heavy timbers, beautiful updating recently. A storm had knocked out water to Owl, so our host offered us Rodden, very accommodating. Only complaint was the fuel oil smell in the downstairs bedroom.

A peaceful place

Bon accueil de la propriétaire. Maison chaleureuse et bien décorée esprit campagne avec une belle vue sur les collines environnantes et un champ de moutons à côté. Exactement ce que l’on attendait. Endroit très calme et reposant. La maison est très bien équipée avec une suite parentale et une 2ème salle de bain avec jacuzzi. Était encore mieux que ce qu’on pouvait imaginer par les photos. Très bon séjour, je recommande.

Host profile image
The cottage is situated on a family run sheep farm, nestled in the hills near Glenveagh National Park and a 10 to 15 minute drive yo Letterkenny Town. Close yo Glenveagh National Park, Errigal and Muckish mountains. Steeped in history, this cottage was restored in 2004 by its current owners and has been in the family for 5 generations. The cottage was owned by an elderly lady and her daughter in the famine days and to this day, her fireplace and gable wall has been lovingly maintained in her memory..and forms a beautiful part of the main bedroom. Oil heating is the dominant heat source and the owners recently added a wood pellet stove to the unique fireplace in the living room, bringing a beautiful relaxing feature to the home.The mezzanine has a sofa bed suitable for 1 person and the loft has a single bed in the kids area which also has toys and books, an ideal retreat for children and teenagers.
