GAPPLE COTTAGE, family friendly in Rathmullan, County Donegal

This all ground floor detached cottage is in an isolated position nearly six miles from Rathmullan and sleeps four people in two bedrooms.

Gapple Cottage is an all ground floor detached cottage in an isolated position nearly six miles from Rathmullan. The cottage sleeps four people in two double bedrooms. There is also a shower room, a kitchen with a dining area, a utility, and a sitting room with a multi-fuel stove. Outside is a gravelled area with a lawned garden and ample off road parking. Gapple Cottage is in a fantastic, isolated position, ideal for couples or a family who are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Amenities: Oil central heating with multi-fuel stove. Gas oven and hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine in utility, TV with Saorview, DVD, CD/radio, selection of books games and DVDs. Fuel, power and starter pack for stove inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Ample off road parking. Gravelled area with lawned garden. Sorry, no smoking. One pet may be allowed by arrangement with the owner. Shop and pub 4 miles.

Region: The West of Ireland conjures up many images; thatched, whitewashed cottages, a flock of sheep on a narrow road, an emerald green field with a stone wall, or the Atlantic waves crashing into towering cliffs and rocky shores.

Town: Nestled on the shore of Lough Swilly on the Fanad Peninsula, the quaint village of Rathmullan has a colourful history. It was from here that the last of the Celtic chieftains fled Ireland, now known as the Flight of the Earls, and there is an interesting heritage centre in the village commemorating this vital event in Ireland’s history. This sleepy seaside village offers a variety of local shops and pubs and a long sandy beach ideal for lazy days.

Perfect peace

This was a perfect place to relax and also explore the surrounding countryside which was beautiful. The cottage was comfortable with everything we needed. The hosts were extremely helpful and went out of their way to assist us. I fully recommend this place for those looking to get away from it all and relax.

The property was just beautiful. We wanted an isolated property but not too far from shops. The house was lovely and warm with everything needed for a trouble free holiday. We've been to this area so many times before it was like coming home. Anne changed the linen half way through our stay which was lovely but not necessary. We would love to come again.
