Wow, what a great few days away in the criminally overlooked Donegal - THE most beautiful county in…read moreIreland. Forget your Kerrys and Connemaras, when it comes to wild, rugged beauty, you cannot beat Donegal. Not only that the people here are so incredibly nice. Not least the owner of the Cois Farraige/Cois Daire cottages in Rathmullan. Siobhan was fantastic to deal with and both cottages were very reasonably priced, given how well they are kitted out. There were large flat screen tvs, good quality coffee machines and all of the rest mod cons. Siobhan has left lots of great material to work out the best activities to do here. Hiking is recommended and the stunning Glenveigh national park is nearby. High quality restaurants are within waking distance (Rathmullan house) and the pristine beach is yards away. Go off the beaten track, rain or shine, and treat yourself to a little piece of heaven in Donegal. (PS if you get the chance try to visit Tramore beach hidden away in Dunfanaghy. The most beautiful beach I have ever seen).

Set in the sheltered Sheep Haven Bay the long sandy strand of Marble Hill extends for about 2km…read more Very popular beach with families and for good reason as it is safe and clean, it is a Blue flag beach. Watched over by lifeguards during the summer months with the very shallow water (even at high tide) and clean well kept shore line makes it perfect for families (and anyone else that enjoys a good beach). It is always a hive of activity with surf schools, anglers, sailors and swimmers all taking to the water. Plenty of sea life roam the waters to keep the amateur marine biologist interested. With all the holiday houses and caravan parks close by it is no surprise that this lovely beach is so popular. It is only going to get busier with the re-opening of the Shannon Hotel. So get there early when the sun comes out otherwise there will be no parking space left!

Its March 2014 and I have just spent my first caravan weekend of 2014 in Binion Bay Caravan Park,…read moreClonmany, Co Donegal. It was a wet, damp, and windy weekend and there were very few people on the site. It was late on Friday evening when we arrived and were welcomed by the owner who kindly placed us just beside all the site facilities. Our purpose in going to Donegal was to attend a singing festival weekend in nearby Ballyliffin. On Sat morning, the site displayed its beautiful stunning surroundings. If you like to walk, cycle, climb hills, view beaches, then this is a site you cannot miss. The friendly owner will give a total overview of the area, detailing walks, festivals, history, restaurants and anything else you will want to know. He sat with us for half an hour just to impart tourist information that he thought we might benefit from. The site facilities were very clean and tidy with free electric showers, soap and hand wash in the bathrooms. The owner had also left a supply of books available for anyone to read during their stay. Nice thought. But he really came into his own when it was time for us to go home and we found that our car electrics had a fault and would not work our caravan lights, indicators etc. When he saw us with trouble, he took his own jeep to test our caravan lights and identified that our car was the difficulty. As it was Sunday, it was not possible to repair and we had to return home for work the next day. The owner took our caravan on his jeep, parked it at his own house and we went home, repaired our car and collected the caravan some days later. All our worries were eradicated by the owners kindness. When I collected my caravan, i tried to financially reward his for his kindness but he totally refused to accept anything and said, "maybe you will come back again sometime". I sure will. I cant say enough about my stay there. These are the ones that you will remember. Keep it up Binion Bay, a gem of a weekend probably made better by kindness of the site owner.
