Owner profile
About the owner
My wife and I live in Belfast, Northern Ireland and are both retired. We have two young grandchildren and a very friendly spaniel/dog. Along with our son and daughter in law we decided to purchase Tara Cottage in 2007 as our holiday home and also to let as self catering accommodation when not in use by ourselves. We really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the cottage and scenic views of the area.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We decided to purchase a property near Kerrykeel, County Donegal for many reasons:- It is just over two hour's drive from our home in Belfast and from Belfast airports and sea ports. It is just over 40 miles from Londondery airport. We love the area because it is quiet, scenic, rugged and wild. Yet it is only a short car journey to beautiful sandy beaches or twenty minutes by car to the large town of Letterkenny where you will find shops and entertainment to meet all requirements.
