    Lovely bungalow with exceptional views of the surrounding area and beaches. Although we had really bad weather , the views from the sunroom were amazing, even when it was raining. Kitchen was well equipped although we didn't really cook much. ...

This delightful detached cottage in County Donegal enjoys a rural setting on Cruit Island accessed from the mainland via a bridge. Offering bright and cheerful accommodation, this holiday cottage is sure to charm holidaymakers. The property is a couple of miles from the village of Kincasslagh on the mainland. The property makes a lovely base for family holidays or for friends to get together. There is a large grassy area surrounding the cottage, ideal for small children. Relax in the delightful conservatory and enjoy the shimmering waters of the Atlantic ocean. The open turf fire will provide a welcoming feature should you visit this property during the winter months while summer visitors will love discovering the islands sandy beaches, or secret rocky enclaves all within strolling distance.
I live in a property next door on site to Hillcrest Holiday Cottage.
