Situated on the Inishowen Peninsula in North Donegal lies the small, pretty town of Carndonagh. Only a stone’s throw from the shores of Trawbeaga Bay, Carndonagh is home to the site of the Donagh Cross, which was once part of an early Christian monastery founded by the patron Saint Patrick. Boasting a lovely selection of cafes, pubs and shops, the town also has a strong reputation for traditional music and culture with many musicians, artists and writers making it their home. Within a short distance from Carndonagh are some superb beaches and ideal family spots at Culdaff, Kinnagoe Bay and Five Fingers strand to name a few, Ballyliffin golf course and Malin Head, Ireland’s most northern point.

Ian
Plenty of space, very clean and furniture/equipment is new. We stayed in the autumn and in the evenings used the logburner. The owner provided lots of turf, and the sitting room was very cosy. The owner (June) is very switched on and excellent fun. She told us how everything works on arrival and was quick to respond to any questions that we had during our stay. Overall an exceptionally high standard.

June was such a welcoming and friendly host. The cottage was spotless clean and spacious and close to local amenities. If youâre visiting Carndonagh or the Donegal area this is a great base to explore.
