Rustic, Authentic, Romantic and Private Cottage nestled in a beautiful area.

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 but 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.
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.

Owl Cottage

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.

Beautiful as a fairytale

We were very well looked after, the landlords are very helpful and friendly. The facilities are good, we had nothing to complain about. The location is ideal for exploring the wonderful surroundings. We can only highly recommend this accommodation.

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.
