Resting in the countryside village of Stranaclea, near the coastal town of Buncrana, is this detached cottage, Big Hill Cottage. Set over a single storey and sleeping up to four guests, Big Hill Cottage is a rustic and romantic setting for your next County Donegal adventure, within easy reach of Derry and Letterkenny.

A long driveway to the property with parking and lots of grassland surround the rustic white cottage, before entering into the kitchen/diner where traditional beams remain in place. A wood burning stove offers a sense of comfort, so decide who the dedicated chef will be and gather round the dining room table to enjoy a home-cooked meal. There are two character bedrooms, one double with an open fire and ample storage to unpack belongings and one small double to escape to when the evening draws to a close, along with a revamped shower room.

Big Hill is the ideal hub for walking, with forest routes straight from the doorstep. It is a short drive to Buncrana which is one of Ireland’s most beautiful coastal destinations and it offers a wide variety of activities and attractions. With a rich passion for the arts it is renowned for its artistic heritage so there are many art studios and traditional craft workshops to visit where one can pick up a piece of local design and craftsmanship as a reminder of their Irish holiday.
