Maggies Cottage - A Traditional Thatched Cottage in Glencolmcille Co Donegal
Maggies Cottage is a traditional thatched Irish cottage set in a tranquil setting in the townland of Meenadiff 5 km east of Glencolmcille in Co Donegal. The cottage nestles into a hillside and overlooks a beautiful but sparsely populated valley. The road through the valley leads to the deserted famine village of Port a true hidden gem of Donegal tourism. A 10 minute walk over the hills behind the cottage brings you to Lough Geata a very secluded fishing lake.
The cottage is almost 150 years old and ownership has remained with the same family down the years. The thatching is done in a local style and is replaced every 3 / 4 years. Inside there is a cosy cottage with 3 comfortable bedrooms two of the bedrooms and a shower room are in a modern extension to the original cottage. The sitting/living room has a multifuel stove and an initial supply of turf is supplied free of charge. Old style ornaments, pictures and crockery add to the cosy feeling of the room.
The Gaeltacht village of Glencolmcille is a short drive - or a very pleasant 45 minute walk - from the cottage. This small village balancing on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean is known far and wide for its Irish Hospitality, and particularly for its love of traditional Irish music and culture.
