About this cottage rental

This unique beachfront cottage, built in the 1930's by the then owners of Fintra House as a holiday cottage for their family remains largely untouched in its original condition. It is situated only metres from the beautiful Fintra Bay Blue flag beach.
The cottage feature a large living/dining area with an open fireplace for cosy evenings.
All the other rooms in the cottage lead off from this room.
The garden overlooks the beach and is a fantastic space to relax and listen to the waves or even have a BBQ.
The location is ideal for exploring South West Donegal, the nearby sea cliffs of Slieve League, and the other beautiful nearby beaches and country walks. Donegal Town is about 30 minutes drive away and the fishing port of Killybegs is less than 10 minutes away.
The cottage has it's own private entrance driveway with parking for up to 3 cars.

We wanted to relax and this cottage was perfect. The beach is 30 seconds walk, the view is breathtaking. We relaxed, played games, read, talked around the open fire, swam, walked and just chilled. No tv, no screens (although there is Wi-Fi), we detached from the phones and iPads and let our brains breathe. Will be booking again for next year or maybe even during winter. Tony and John were so helpful yet respectful of our privacy. Can not fault the cottage or the area. Loved every minute.

This is an old beach house with a certain rustic charm. The garden, view and location is stunning. The house itself needs work done on it. The gas stove has a very low flame making it difficult to cook on it. We did change the gas bottle but it didn't help. We ended up using our camping stove. The shower hose fell off the shower and the plug was blocked until we removed a lot of hair. The description of the rooms is not accurate. There are 3 rooms with double beds, one with a single and one with a bunkbed in it that you access from one of the double rooms. Communication with the owner, Tony, wasn't great - he replied to one of my messages, but not the rest. John and Julia, who met us when we arrived, were very friendly and helpful. The house is cluttered and really needs cleared out and painted inside. If you have high housekeeping standards it probably won't suit. We had glorious weather so we were outside most of the time. There is a lovely open fire and wood was provided, which was good.
