Other things to note
On one occasion, we faced an unforeseen water supply issue, which we promptly addressed by providing guests with ample bottled water. Unfortunately, this coincided with scheduled bridge repairs that led to a temporary road closure. While both situations were entirely beyond our control, they resulted in a less-than-ideal experience for one guest, who subsequently left a negative review, despite our best efforts.

The Thatch is a cozy escape to relax and enjoy nature we do not have Wi-Fi, just peace and quiet.

Where you’ll be

Ardara, County Donegal, Ireland

Maghera Beach and its enchanting caves are less than a 5-minute stroll from your doorstep, celebrated as Ireland’s 6th best beach in 2018.

Just 6 miles away lies Ardara, a charming town recognized by The Irish Times as the best village to live in. Fondly known as the “festival town,” Ardara offers a warm, lively atmosphere with an array of bars, restaurants, hotels, and local shops. The town’s rich history can be explored at the Heritage Centre, located in the iconic Diamond area.

A short drive brings you to Killybegs, a bustling fishing port known for its excellent hotels, restaurants, and a convenient supermarket.

Further afield, Portnoo and Narin beaches await, with Portnoo also boasting a scenic golf course for enthusiasts.

For outdoor adventurers, the stunning Glengesh Pass nicknamed “Granny” offering breathtaking mountain walks and hikes, perfect for those seeking panoramic views and a touch of rugged wilderness.

Embark on a journey along the Wild Atlantic Way to discover some of Ireland’s most spectacular vistas, including the awe-inspiring Slieve League Cliffs in Glencolumbkille, Donegal. Towering at an astonishing 1,972 feet above the Atlantic Ocean, these cliffs are nearly three times the height of the iconic Cliffs of Moher, making them among Europe’s highest and most magnificent sea cliffs.
