Summary: My sisters and I had a great stay at Elnan Cottage, a wonderful place to explore all that the Inishowen Peninsula has to offer. One evening, we walked to Nancy's Barn for traditional Irish music and drinks and had a fabulous lunch there the next day. In the morning, we walked on the stunning nearby beach. The cottage is well-equipped and super comfortable. I'm looking forward to returning!

Pat O. Jul 1, 2023 09:07:20 PM
Summary: This is a lovely cottage, beautifully restored. There was everything you could need for your stay. The double bed was a little low for me and the television was pretty high on the wall, but otherwise it was a great place. Susan met us when we arrived and she gave us lots of suggestions for places to visit and also for pubs/restaurants - most of which we went to.
John M. May 30, 2023 06:37:06 PM
Summary: Superb location. House brilliantly equipped. Squeaky clean on arrival.
