Set in peaceful countryside with mountains all around and the coast just 2.5 miles away, this delightful, two-storey cottage invites families, friends and up to two dogs for a peaceful getaway in County Donegal. With a wealth of cultural, historic and natural attractions nearby, you’ll find plenty to fill your days with, starting with a visit to nearby Bruckless (1.5 miles) which enjoys views of Donegal Bay and offers welcoming pubs, restaurants and local shops. Killybegs (6 miles) is a lively fishing town offering a warm Irish welcome, while keen scuba divers should head straight for the waters around St John’s Point (within 10 miles).

The stone cottage stands off a quiet country road that meanders its way through undulating countryside dominated by wooded hills and open farmland. Entry is via an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, a cosy space with eclectic seating and lovely views. Unwind in the lounge, crashing into the soft furnishings after days of walking and swimming, and if the weather is chilly, throw a log on the glowing wood burner as the TV entertains you. When stomachs start to rumble, the well-appointed kitchen boasts all you need to whip up memorable holiday feasts, while a window-side dining table stands ready to host dinners as you plan the next day of adventure. For some extra peace and quiet, you’ll find another, smaller lounge space with more comfy seating and an open fireplace. When day turns to night, find a delightful double bedroom on the ground floor, served by the family bathroom that completes this floor. Upstairs, find another double bedroom and a cosy twin room set beneath the eaves.

The deceptively large, enclosed garden features an inviting lawned area for dog-friendly, family games. The views and garden furniture make this the perfect setting for peaceful, scenic morning coffees and al fresco evening meals under the setting sun.

We had a wonderful week in Calhame. Berdieke was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. The location was perfect for exploring the beaches and great amenities in Donegal. The house was comfortable and everything we needed was available to us. We had two children with us aged 5 and 8 - they loved the space and the hens and goats. It is so peacRead moreeful and quiet we really relaxed and chilled out. Hide
