Beautiful location to explore Co. Donegal

The house is beautifully located by the water and has a great outdoor seating area. It is centrally located in Co Donegal to be able to explore this wonderful part of Ireland. The house is well appointed with a large kitchen and dining area which opens out onto the deck.

A Slice of Perfection

The Oyster House was situated in such a beautiful area of the bay. Completely private and quiet with plenty of charm and comfort. A well stocked kitchen made meals a delight while sitting on the patio. The house was well appointed with good communication regarding our arrival. A beautiful bouquet of roses along with scones was also part of our delightful arrival after a long day of travel. One can’t order weather but this trip was absolute perfection. We spent our days hiking and discovering beautiful beaches and we made two trips to the neighboring oyster farm for a tour and to purchase oysters that were being raised right in the bay. It was a huge bonus. On one cool and misty day, we found a sauna to rent that was situated looking out to the sea. It was a perfect way to relax on a cool day. This entire area was just spectacular and beautiful.
A perfect afternoon.

Winter Paradise

Our family absolutely loved the house! Especially walking in to the beautiful view, with fresh scones waiting for you. It was perfect to sit and enjoy, and ideally located to venture off to other wonders of County Donegal. Close to the supermarket and a quick drive to Dungloe town with ample restaurants/pubs. A big thanks to our host!

Beautiful Dream Realized

We originally booked this location for a June 2020 trip to Ireland; however, COVID restrictions eliminated this vacation. I never stopped thinking about this location. We FINALLY got it back on track, and I immediately booked this location. The location is perfect. The bay is visible from the home, and I spent most mornings drinking coffee, writing, and watching the sea. Quiet and contemplative. The furniture is comfortable and laid out nicely. Loved the wood floors and the quaintness of the home (felt like a step back in time). The first day, a friendly horse greeted us. Caroline was excellent, helping us solve a couple of riddles that confounded unfamiliar Americans with how things work in Irish homes. This home was the magical center of my time in Ireland. HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.

Entspannte Woche in liebevollem Haus

Sehr netter Kontakt mit der Vermieter als auch mit der Verwalterin, die persönlich die Schlüssel vor Ort übergeben hatte. Liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus mit allen Annehmlichkeiten wie auch Waschmaschine mit Trockner. Butter, Marmelade und Milch sowie auch Brennmaterial war gratis vorhanden. Austernbänke im Meer vor dem Haus, zwei freundliche Pferde ließen sich füttern. Leider gab es keinen Strand zum Baden und der Kleiderschrank war nicht benutzbar.

Touring the North of Ireland

A great location for touring Donegal situated in a lovely bay with fantastic views. Though unable to use the outside area (weather) this would be lovely for breakfast, lunch, lazing, and sundowners.

Quiet Donegal coast retreat

The cottage is located on the beautiful and unspoilt Traigheanna Bay, with views out to the Atlantic Ocean. It is nicely furnished and has a well equipped kitchen. Both the kitchen dining table and the outdoor seating areas are great for catching the sun and admiring the views. 3 good supermarkets available in Dungloe, just 10 minutes drive away. Thoroughly recommended!
