About this property
Gortahork 1 mile. Perched in Killult near the village of Gortahork, County Donegal is this superb three-bedroom holiday home, Upper Killult. Boasting off-road parking, open-plan living and stunning views overlooking Gortahork Bay, Upper Killult welcomes six guests to bask in the ultimate getaway to Ireland. After a long day of exploring your surroundings, sit back and relax in the spacious sitting room, warming up in front of the gas fire as you click on the Smart TV ready to saviour a movie marathon; in the kitchen/diner allow the designated chef of the group to whip up a tasty feast to be enjoyed at the dining table. If you prefer to dine alfresco with stunning views as your backdrop, venture out to the private patio and soak in the coastal views as you tuck in, toasting to a wonderful break as the sun sets in the distance. Retire to a homely sitting area where you can snuggle up with loved ones and catch up on family favourites or simply reflect on your favourite memories so far; the added convenience of a dishwasher means you can spend more quality time as a group and the washing machine and tumble dryer ensures that no matter how messy your adventures become, your holiday wardrobe will remain feeling fresh.

Kickstart your itinerary along the magnificent coastline where you can discover Magheraroarty, Curran’s Port Pier and Bloody Foreland Beach, all offering imposing vistas of the cascading landscape that stretch out to sea. For a wealth of walking, hiking and cycling trails, journey to Glenveagh National Park, home to Glenveagh Castle, Mullangore Wood and Lough Beagh, an idyllic spot to delight in a picnic or simply immerse yourself in your natural surroundings. Within accessible reach of Derry, boasting St Columb’s Cathedral, Museum of Free Derry and The Peace Bridge, you certainly won’t be short of things to see and do here. For a memorable getaway with those you love, book a stay at Upper Killult.
On the northernmost point of the County Donegal coast, the settlement of Gortahork is becoming a more well-liked surfing and trekking destination. The region has a number of lovely beaches, and the village hosts the annual Samhain International Poetry Festival. With 16,000 acres, Glenveagh National Park is a walkers' paradise and is easily reachable from Gortahork. In 1980, the well-known artist Derek Hill left his home, gallery, and art collection to the country. The property also includes the Glebe Gallery and Tea Rooms, which regularly stages exhibitions. Visit the neighbouring Bunbeag, which has a spa and swimming pool, or the An Chuirt Hotel, which is located at the base of the Errigal Mountain and has a health club and spa of its own. Arranmore, Cruit Island, and Owey Island may all be visited from Gortahork by chartering a boat. Island hopping is enjoyable for the whole family. Although Cruit Island is easily accessible by car thanks to a bridge connecting it to the mainland, renting a boat is considerably more fun! The nearby town of Dungloe, which is known for its excellent fishing, hosts the yearly "Mary From Dungloe" event. This is a fantastic location and a terrific home base for exploring the region.

It felt like home, and the host made sure everything is in place for our comfort. Very close distance to shops, although for bigger ones Letterkenny is the closest town. The house is very warm, no need for extra blankets. The few remarks I would have that the double bed in the small room is too small for 2 peopleâs comfortable sleep and that the duvets were heavy and too warm. Also, the internet is quite weak, even near the source. For 2 people working at the same time it was a bit of a struggle. But we had very good mobile coverage which helped. And the last remark is that the host asked to put out the bin for collection on the scheduled time - this was a bit of surprise for us since we havenât had a similar situation. We were also asked to put our towels to wash before leaving - again, nothing similar happened to us before. Maybe this is a normal practice somewhere, but it wasnât mentioned in the ad. Other than above mentioned, we enjoined our stay!

Private location with great views. Gortahork a short walk away with a eurospar which covered any groceries required and pub with friendly staff and locals that made you feel welcome. No shortage of beautiful beaches in the area for taking the dog for walks. Look forward to getting back here again.
