Region: The West of Ireland conjures up many images; thatched, whitewashed cottages, a flock of sheep on a narrow road, an emerald green field with a stone wall, or the Atlantic waves crashing into towering cliffs and rocky shores. Town: Nestled on the shore of Lough Swilly on the Fanad Peninsula, the quaint village of Rathmullan has a colourful history. It was from here that the last of the Celtic chieftains fled Ireland, now known as the Flight of the Earls, and there is an interesting heritage centre in the village commemorating this vital event in Ireland’s history. This sleepy seaside village offers a variety of local shops and pubs and a long sandy beach ideal for lazy days. ## Property amenities ### Food and drink - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 1,130 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48740000/48730600/48730595/1b1cc3a3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Secluded Glenbeg Tower in stunning private estate.

May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect peace This was a perfect place to relax and also explore the surrounding countryside which was beautiful. The cottage was comfortable with everything we needed. The hosts were extremely helpful and went out of their way to assist us. I fully recommend this place for those looking to get away from it all and relax. ##### Lynden P. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary J. Oct 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was just beautiful. We wanted an isolated property but not too far from shops. The house was lovely and warm with everything needed for a trouble free holiday. We've been to this area so many times before it was like coming home. Anne changed the linen half way through our stay which was lovely but not necessary. We would love to come again. ##### Gary J. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean-Philippe C.
