La casa perfetta vacanza sulla costa nord-ovest spettacolare d'Irlanda

Alloggi: Il Hilltown è uno storico, recentemente rinnovato, tradizionale casa colonica più aggiunte, edifici stabili e fattoria su 50 ettari di terreno coltivato attivamente - quattro camere da letto, due bagni - può ospitare fino a dieci.

Descrizione: William McKinley, nato nel 1882 in un cottage dal tetto di paglia un miglio dal Hilltown, emigrò negli Stati Uniti, e poi tornò per l'acquisto del Hilltown nel 1928. La sua ragione? Voleva la sua espansione famiglia americana per imparare delle proprie radici. I suoi genitori e alcuni dei suoi fratelli sono sepolti nel cimitero Drumhome sulla collina di fronte alla casa. Tre dei suoi nipoti, gli attuali proprietari, hanno riabilitato e modernizzato la casa da cima a fondo mentre si sforzano di conservare il fascino e sentire della fattoria tradizionale irlandese, che hanno sperimentato da bambini. La casa si trova su una collina con vista panoramica su lunghe e verdi, colline Drumlin a capo della baia di Donegal. Queste colline a loro volta sono incorniciate dalle montagne Blue Stack circa 15 miglia di distanza.

A metà estate, quando tutto è nelle tenebre intorno alla casa, le cime delle pile blu sono spesso immersi in ultimi raggi di colore arancione del sole. Murvagh Beach, una ciocca di tre miglia sul lato sud della baia, dove la marea si ritira fino a un quarto di miglio, è a pochi minuti dalla porta di casa. Donegal Golf Club, conosciuto localmente come Murvagh Golf Club, è un corso di collegamenti eccellenti descritto come il Muirfield dell'Irlanda e si trova a circa un miglio di distanza. Molti pub sono anche meno di un miglio. Che altro si fa bisogno?

Il Hilltown ha dimostrato di essere il luogo ideale per stile irlandese decompressione. E 'stata la posizione romantica di scelta per molti viaggi di nozze, e un nido accogliente dove tre generazioni di eredi McKinley e molti dei loro amici hanno lanciato escursioni in tutta nord-ovest dell'Irlanda.

Servizi: Lavorare camini ubicati in cucina, sala da pranzo e in erba e legno fornito seduta. Cucina completa con forno a microonde, lavastoviglie, frigorifero e utensili da cucina in dotazione. Mudroom ha grandi dimensioni lavatrice e asciugatrice. Tavolo da pranzo in rovere da pranzo per otto persone. Due camere da letto hanno letti queen-size, una terza con due letti queen size-e un letto a castello camera può ospitare quattro figli. Biancheria fornita. Due bagni, uno con doccia e l'altro con vasca. TV satellitare e lettore CD / DVD in Sitting Room. Segnale WiFi è disponibile.

Attività: Ampia escursioni ed opportunità alpinismo tra cui Slieve League, la montagna più alta edge-of-the-Atlantico, sulla costa occidentale d'Europa, di classe mondiale campi da golf all'interno di un azionamento giorni, ciclismo (mountain bike possono essere noleggiate a Donegal Town) , belle spiagge, passeggiate a cavallo, mare, lago e fiume pesca, esplorazione delle fortezze rotonde antichi, pietra Cairns, abbazie, castelli e resti di grandi case, viaggi per le isole off-shore, lo shopping a Donegal Town, Ardara e Glencolumbkille per tweed native e maglioni, canottaggio, nuoto, vela, picnic, e così via.

Excellent property, very enjoyable stay.
8 adults in our group who all enjoyed staying at Hilltown. Very clean and tidy, spacious with large dinning space, nice sittingroom and very comfortable double/king sized beds. Ideal for families with children who can sleep in the room with 2 bunkbeds though that was a bit more challenging for our older group of adults getting up to the top bunks! Jennifer was very helpful on arrival and was nearby and contactable for any issues. We would all recommend Hilltown as a great base for exploring County Donegal and Donegal town has good eating and is not far away. Only thing to note for future visitors is that 3 of the bedrooms dont have curtains or blinds so any light sleepers may wish to bring sleeping masks, particularly in the height of summer. Thank you for the use of your lovely house.

Family Reunion/Trip
Myself, my husband and our four children (15,19,20,21)stayed here along with my sister, her husband and their two (19,21)children. We also had one niece (21)staying with us. Everyone had a fantastic time! We love the house and adore the setting. Jen, who minds the house, greeted us the first day and was excellent with communication throughout the whole trip. We enjoyed the cows and walking to Murvagh Beach. The sunsets were gorgeous there. The front patio area was a perfect spot for coffee every morning, and to gather at the end of the day and catch up on everyone’s day. There was plenty of space for everyone. You cannot walk to Donegal Town from the house, but I HIGHLY recommend Gallagher Cabs. The owner Michael and his wife Marie went above and beyond with transportation to and from town and also with an excursion. We stayed for two weeks, it was hard to leave Hilltown and I could not recommend it enough!

Family stay in Donegal
Beautiful, spacious, comfortable, well-equipped house in a rural location. Our group of 8 had plenty of space & options for sleeping. We were lucky to have great weather during our stay so took full advantage of the outside patio area. The scenery is out of this world. Bedrooms were lovely and comfy, the kitchen and big dining room perfect for a group to cook at home. A short drive into Donegal Town was a small surprise based on the description of the property where it states walking distances to nearby attractions. This should be more accurate but wasn't a big deal. Communication with the property manager was excellent. The morning cow parade past the property was a special treat that everyone enjoyed.

One of the Best Experiences Ever
This was one of my family's favorite adventures that we've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Hilltown was an amazing house and an amazing property. Both the house and the surrounding area are absolutely beautiful. The house had everything that our family of five needed, and it would certainly accommodate at least two families. We hiked all over the property, drove (5 minutes) to the beach, visited the resident horses and sheep, and explored Donegal Town Centre which was 15 minutes away. We were able to drive 1.5 hours to Malin Head, 2 hours to Giant's Causeway / Bushmills, and 2 hours to Belfast. The owners and property managers (located nearby) were exceptionally helpful before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this house for a relaxing family adventure with plenty nearby for fun. We look forward to visiting again soon! Thank you for having us, we loved our time here.

Hilltown is Heaven!
Our family had the best time in this gorgeous house. The location is off the beaten path, the views are spectacular, the locals couldn't have been more friendly. Hilltown gave us the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the company of all under one cozy roof. We had our walks in the woods, visits by the ocean, trips into Donegal town, Glenveagh National Park, Slieve League, fresh fish in Killybegs, or just sitting on the hill and enjoying the view. Our caretaker Jennifer and host Michael were always just a phone call away. Thank you Hilltown for giving us the happiest vacation our family could ever have imagined.

Loved the Hilltown
We all thoroughly our week at the Hilltown, even the two days we were forced to ‘stay in’ due to constant rain our seven grandchildren ages ranging from 2 to 13 had great fun playing in this very spacious house. (Only niggle there were little spiders making their webs in the corners which freaked out one of the girls)!! The Hilltown is an historic family home and I really enjoyed reading some of the history of the area. It is a lovely home to relax in and even though we’d rain most days we also got to see quite a bit of the surrounding area. Glenveigh National park is a must visit and also the beautiful local beach(Murvagh). We also took the kids for a day to Castletown Farm and activity park- this was a great hit with the kids. We had planned on a day trip to Bundoran but weather did not permit. Everything you need and more to self cater is provided for and all the instructions and info that was emailed before we arrived Ll was of great help. Many thanks for our great holiday in your historic family home, Michael, and we will hopefully return again.

Better than all my already high expectations!
I found this property listed on VRBO several years ago, and wistfully planned and replanned how we might visit the Northwest of Ireland again and stay there. And this year, we made a 10 day stay happen! The house is wonderful..:comfortable, with plenty of space, nice kitchen, baths and beds. We had fantasy-like weather, so walks outside and coffee/wine on the patio were a huge bonus to our stay. Michael sent a lot of helpful material about the house and the area ahead of time. Once there, Jennifer and Geoffrey were terrific property managers who helped with recommendations and any quick questions. When you want to go to dinner and/or listen to music in town, a taxi service (we used Michael Gallagher who was superb) will ease any worries of a drive in the evening after a Guinness. It was an amazing stay due to such an amazing property and the good people who make you welcome. I’d go back in a heartbeat, even without the incredible patio weather! Thank you Michael, Jennifer and Geoffrey!

Family trip to Ireland
Beautiful property located in the country side, very peaceful and relaxing. 15 minutes to town made it handy for groceries and restaurants. Beach near by is a bit of a walk but a quick drive. Lots of great sites to see in the surrounding areas. Was one of our top family vacations. Would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful cozy spot for a Christmas Get away
We were delighted when we arrived and saw that they had put up a Christmas tree and lights. A great touch. We had a large group of 10 and it was terrific. A short drive from Donegal Town and many other places are easily accessible. The house having some basics when you arrive is excellent. The pantry has lots of spices and odds and ends so that you can easily make a meal. Most nights we cozied up in the living room and playing games altogether. Jennifer the caretaker was amazing and helped us being sure we had firewood and turf and knew how to work the oven. (Timer must be on…who knew?) Just an amazing experience for us all! Thank you!!

Perfect! All the comforts of home!!!
Absolutely love this beautiful old stone farm house. Fabulous location close enough to walk to the beach. Great place from which to stage a touring of County Donegal. Extremely well equipped. Having a washer and dryer made it possible for all of us to go with carryon luggage for a 2 week stay. All of the bedrooms & beds are extremely comfortable. We really made use of the host's recommended list of excursions which were much better than any travel guide book I reviewed. Five star stay all the way!!!

The property was great, full of nooks and crannies that the smallies loved to hide in. The two neighbours were always good for a chat, we even named them, Jacob and Evan. Murvagh beach is beautiful and so close. We would strongly recommend this house for a large group. Thanks so much to all.

Perfect just like last time!
I cannot say enough about this beautiful idyllic house and location, EVERYTHING about the experience was A+. Indeed it was our 2nd time staying here and we went back because the 1st visit was so awesome. Clean welcoming warm- the rooms are amazing and the beds, every single adult and child slept like a baby!!. With a kitchen so well equipped we ate 3 meals a day at home most days over our 10 day visit and a beach just 15 minute stroll that was nearly empty making us feel like it was a just for us. And with all of that only 10 minute drive and you have the great town of Donegal to grab a bite, a pint or do your shopping. I cannot recommend this place enough for allll to be reasons above. We will definitely be back to this hidden gem!

We had an amazing time in the Hilltown. The house is stunning and in an absolutely phenomenal location with murvagh beach only a 10 minute walk from the house. The owner and caretakers are incredibly polite and quick to respond to any queries. The house had everything we needed and I've never slept on a more comfortable bed. The Hilltown is the perfect place to get away from it all and relax surrounded by some of the most beautiful places in Ireland.

Beautiful Hilltown House
There is ample space at Hilltown House to accomodate 2 families , 5 people in each. Wifi is available however coverage is a little poor. The house is within a 5 - 10 min drive to two beautiful beaches, Rossnowlagh and Murvagh. The house itself is well equipped with washer / dryer facilities and particularly good kitchen equipment which makes self catering easy. We were lucky to have very good weather during our stay and could enjoy bbqs outside taking in the lovely views. I would recommend Hilltown House whole heartedly as even if the weather is not so good, there are many visitor attractions within a reasonable driving distance from the property. The Salmon Inn is a very good local restaurant.

Heaven on Earth - WOW!
What a WONDERFUL house and location this is! My partner and young son, and 2 friends stayed here for 5 nights and had the BEST time. EVERYTHING about our stay was perfection. The house was warm and cosy which was unusual based on its size, the beds were sooooo comfortable, everyone slept like babies every night and the kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need. We ate breakfast lunch and dinner there most days and were actually in awe how such a large farmhouse could be so inviting and homely. The caretakers were fantastic, answering all our questions but in turn, there was very little to explain, everything had its rightful place. In these times of Covid we wanted to stay somewhere that would allow us avoid interacting unnecessarily with others and this home was just the ticket. SO close to Donegal town to pick up all the necessary items we needed yet we felt like it was just us for miles and miles. The beach can be easily walked to, amazing spots to visit nearby, we made it to Letterkenny and Derry all in a morning/afternoon and were tucked up back at the house for dinner. I cannot recommend this stay more. We shall definitely be back and extend a sincere thank you to Heather and Jennifer for all that they did.
