The Donegal region

The amenities available to holiday makers visiting Donegal has helped to have Ireland named as top tourist destination for 2011, according to Frommer's , one of the world's leading travel guides.....Costal walks, castles, parks & Gardens , all of these plus the rugged headlands, especially Horn Head (only 10 mins drive away) are the most spectacular in Ireland... Doe Castle has been picked as one of the country's best castles.
Glenveigh Natioinal Park has also been chosen by Frommer's as having one of the best gardens to visit in Ireland.. It states.. " A castle and it's gardens stretch across a strangely barren valley, high in hills of Donegal, along the banks of Lough Veigh. .The sprawling park contains a grand statuary garden, a walled garden and a rhododendron-lined path that leads to the stunning view of the castle and lake.
Ards Forest Park , just off the N56 as you approach Creeslough village is also well worth a visit. as is the Dunlewy Lakes drive, during the summer months, the Dunlewy Center has traditional music sessions .
Errigal Mountain has always been a favourite of the climbers, and indeed more so, this year.

“Christmas luxury in Dunfanaghy - what a chill out!” Most of us talk about "getting away from it all" and perhaps don't always mean what we say. People often use language loosely and say "its home from home". Taking a holiday away from home particularly at Christmas can be a serious risk. However, this is a risk which paid off completely. My wife and I did get away from it all, body mind and spirit were completely refreshed, Faugher Court was our home from home, and Kathleen lived up to exactly what she said, and more. Every detail was covered from start to finish and the hospitality was exceptional. In fact this was a Christmas we shall always treasure for a variety of reasons and on a number of levels. I did not need or want for a thing as it was ALL provided and to the highest standard. I look forward to my return visit with anticipation. Fantastic host, beautiful house, amazing area, great relaxation and even beaches on Christmas Day for a walk to burn some calories!!!

“Beautiful house in beautiful surroundings.” Very modern house with nice views of the countryside from kitchen and living room. The house has absolutely everything you may need. Kathleen, the owner, is extremely helpful and will do everything in her hand to make sure you enjoy your stay. Definitely a place to come back.

“A Gem in the Emerald Isle” This must be our fourth or maybe fifth visit to No. 5 which in itself speaks volumes. The house is absolutely great and very spacious with the design very much in keeping with the Scandanavian principle of living area on the upper floor and the bedrooms downstairs. The equipment in the property is of the best quality. The house is centrally heated and also has a wood burning stove which is fantastic for those long winter nights. There are two very spacious bedrooms both ensuite and a fold down couch as well. The property sits in a very quiet area about 2 miles from Dunfanaghy where there are shops and restaurants. If you like walking there is Ards forest park just along the road with structured beach walks of varying length.
