An enticing hideaway nestled right on the County Donegal coast, this one-bedroom retreat is positioned on the picturesque Wild Atlantic Way. Sleeping three guests, the single-storey, one-bedroom abode offers stylish, contemporary accommodation which pulls the spectacular ocean views right inside. Situated less than 1 mile from the village of Glencolumbkille and 16 miles from Killybegs, it is perfect for couples or very small families seeking seclusion and complete immersion in nature. Strike straight out on hill and coastal hikes. Walk 2 miles to Glen Head to see the dramatic cliffs. Venture 13.5 miles to visit the scenic Assaranca Waterfall or 15 miles for a day out on the beautiful sands of Fintra Beach, which are popular with swimmers and canoeists.

Step inside to find a gorgeous, open-plan lounge/diner at the heart of this single-storey getaway. This has a high vaulted ceiling, with beams, a beautiful, wooden floor, and a muted colour scheme that has been carefully chosen to blend beautifully with the colours outside. Great expanses of glass open the room up to the views and there is a wood burner to throw out a warming glow in the winter months. At this end of the room, there is also a TV and sofa that can be transformed into a bed by prior agreement. There is also a table within the space where you can dine and take in the views. A second wood burner is situated in the kitchen, which adjoins the main living space and has been designed to include everything you might require to help you whip up home-cooked meals. The beautiful king-size bedroom has also been decorated in soft, natural hues and features wooden panelling. The family bathroom has a spa bath to further add to the sense of luxury here.

The garden at this retreat is partially enclosed. It features a patio and seating area that looks out towards the beach. There is ample space for outdoor relaxation, cooking on the BBQ and sitting out around the fire pit as the sun sets over the sea.
