Escape with your pups to this dreamy cottage on the stunning Inishowen Peninsular. Sleeping four people over two bedrooms and welcoming two canine companions, it’s perfect for families or groups of friends yearning for a rural retreat to call home while they discover the wild beauty of County Donegal with their pups in tow. Spend serene days walking your faithful friends on the shores of Lough Foyle, and in the evening, come home to warm your toes by the glowing wood burner.

Pull into your private parking spot and step inside your idyllic cottage. Take a moment to admire the captivating views through the picture window in the hallway, before you head to the light and bright open-plan kitchen/diner at the heart of the home. Boasting a contemporary cottage-style aesthetic, this undeniably sociable spot is the perfect place to whip up something delicious to share with your loved ones at the rustic-chic dining table. Alternatively, step out onto the patio and dine alfresco while you soak up the views over Kinnagoe Bay. Afterwards, retire to the spacious lounge to relax by the wood burner in the exposed brick inglenook fireplace with your pups. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find two beautiful bedrooms – a double with an en-suite shower room, and a twin. Both showcase soothing hues that perfectly blend into the colours of your local landscape. A smart family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout.

There are endless opportunities for walks that make tails wag at this scenic spot on the Inishowen Peninsular, which is known as the Hidden Jewel of the North West. Further afield, head into Derry/Londonderry (25 miles) to walk the city walls and check out the dog-friendly pubs.

Love this place and it's location. Very spacious and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. It was lovely to hear only the bleating of the sheep and the singing of the birds. Kinnigoe Bay is beautiful. The dogs loved their evening playtime in the sea

Very spacious, well equipped cottage. Lovely secure garden. We were able to let our dog out into the garden, knowing he would be safe and wouldn't be able to annoy the sheep in the adjacent field.

In general the cottage did not lack anything we were wishing for. It was advertised for a stay with pets (two dogs) and the property was definitely dimensioned for it as well. Our two doggies felt as much homely as we did. It was enough space overall and it is located in a very quiet area, which we like very much.

Great location for exploring Co. Donegal, the amazing basis and beaches. We were lucky with the weather and had a lovely time. Also really easy to pop across on the local car ferry to visit giants causeway and the coast. Very large and comfortable cottage. Enjoyed the fresh spring water too. Thank you

superb accommodation, plenty of room for our family. excellent location very rural and just what we wanted. we found out the power shut down on us a few times but this was probably due to the location. Only went off for a short time.

Really enjoyed our holiday here The house was excellent Very well hidden from the road with sea views and mountain Clean and well presented We had everything we needed Had a bit of difficulty getting in on the first day as we had never come across a house where you put in a number and got the keys but we quickly got on to it Would recommend it
