Derrygiff Cottage is a single storey four-bedroomed purpose-built cottage, constructed in 2004. It is set on a family-run, working farm (cattle, sheep and horses) amidst rolling countryside and with magnificent 360 degree views of farmland and mountains.
The cottage is well furnished, fully equipped and has oil-fired central heating and constant hot water. It can sleep up to eight people in great comfort (two double and two twin rooms) and is suitable for those with limited mobility or in wheelchairs. Baby equipment - cots, baby bath, highchair - are all available.
It has a large sized bathroom and en suite shower room - with horses just outside the window to chat to! The large kitchen/diner and sitting room area has comfy seating and TV, video and DVD player. French doors open onto the private garden area with furniture, and views over the spectacular mountain scenery to the south.
There is a washer/drier in the kitchen, and outside a washing and drying room with industrial sized washing machine, tumble drier and heated drying rail for bulkier or dirtier items (eg fishing gear).
All bedding is provided, and towels are available to hire at £2 each. A "welcome pack" of milk, tea, coffee and bread is provided free of charge. Additional provisions can be organised for you at cost plus a £2 administration fee.
Fishing visitors will be given up to date tips on where to fish, and information on permits and licences. Bait may be pre-ordered by phoning Cloughbally Mill Angling Centre on 02866 322008.
Stabling and grazing are available for those wishing to bring their horses on holiday. Bicycles may be hired locally. There is plenty of information in the cottage on where to ride and walk in the nearby forest and mountain parks or the expansive sandy beaches of Donegal.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome! Please note that dogs are not allowed on any furniture, and are kept shut in the hallway at night. Dogs must be kept on leads outside the cottage because of sheep, cattle and horses, and any dog fouling must be removed and placed in the bin provided. Derrygiff is a working farm, and farm animals and farm machinery must be expected so please supervise children at all times and keep them from wandering away from the cottage and its garden for safety reasons.
