Cove Cottage is an excellent 4 star self catering accommodation located in the Gaeltacht area of Gweedore to the south of Bloody Foreland (Knocfola) in County Donegal.  We are situated right on Cnoc Fola (Bloody Foreland) with unspoilt panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.

The newly created holiday home has three beautifully appointed bedrooms, designed to captivate the awesome surrounding scenery. The living room is very inviting in the evenings as the glow of a turf fire entices you to sit back and relax.

I loved everything about it - we all did. The house was wonderful - finished to a very high standard and absolutely spotless. It had everything we needed. The gardens were lovely, the view spectacular. I adore this part of Ireland - it is completely wild. The house and its position were perfect for myself, my husband and our children. We were made to feel so welcome on our arrival and I have absolutely nothing but praise for this self-catering accommodation. We will definitely go back. Wish we were there now!!!

The house was absolutely beautiful but the location was not suitable for a family. There was a lovelyview of the sea but no beach. There were no entertainment options for the children within an hours drive.
