Right by the sea with panoramic view - Stunning Cottage Drimlaghdrid

The Oyster House is a beautifully restored holiday home that provides a truly relaxing escape along Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way. Its tranquil coastal setting means the visitor can indulge their love of a life overlooking the waves, where bracing sea air meets the rugged coastline of the Rosses.

A Little Path from the Garden to the Sea
The Oyster House is a beautiful retreat in a peaceful and stunning location right by the water’s edge. With panoramic views over Traighenna Bay, it is the ideal spot to sit and relax on the outside covered terrace watching the sunset, or you can even take a stroll down the little path leading from the garden to the shore. The perfect location for peace, nature and relaxation.

Located Along the Wild Atlantic Way
The Oyster House lies along a narrow winding coastal road that overlooks Traighenna Bay. It is situated halfway (7km) between the town of Dungloe and the small coastal village of Lettermacaward. It is also halfway (10km) between two of the finest beaches in West Donegal - Dooey Strand and Maghery Beach.

Panoramic Coastal Views
At The Oyster House you'll find you won't always need to go outside to enjoy the sea views, as the holiday home is designed for you to make the most of the coast from the inside too with its large open-plan kitchen dining and living spaces featuring patio doors and windows all perfectly positioned to welcome in as much light as possible.

A Beautifully Restored Building
This exquisite holiday home sleeps up to eight people in three bedrooms. All the rooms have been lovingly renovated to ensure the original character and charm resonates throughout while adding modern comforts. All you have to do is relax and enjoy its very stylish interior with coastal-themed artefacts and soft, comfortable furnishings.

Decking with a View
Why not open up the patio doors and head out onto the furnished decking, where you'll find all you need for a relaxing evening meal set against the soothing soundscape of gentle waves as the evening sunsets over the coastline - bliss!. If the sea breeze gets too strong you can retire to the sheltered patio area on the land side of the house.
Back inside in the living area, you'll find a comfortable sofa and a wood burning stove - perfect for relaxing with a good book. There's a tv and DVD player for an occasionally different view! Prepare your catch of the day in the well-equipped kitchen, with its electric oven and ceramic hob. There's a microwave and dishwasher to help save on time.

A Relaxing Coastal Retreat
So come and live an invigorating coastal life with a relaxing and reviving break at the beautifully located, delightfully renovated Oyster House won't regret it!

Touring the North of Ireland
A great location for touring Donegal situated in a lovely bay with fantastic views. Though unable to use the outside area (weather) this would be lovely for breakfast, lunch, lazing, and sundowners.

Our family absolutely loved the house! Especially walking in to the beautiful view, with fresh scones waiting for you. It was perfect to sit and enjoy, and ideally located to venture off to other wonders of County Donegal. Close to the supermarket and a quick drive to Dungloe town with ample restaurants/pubs. A big thanks to our host!

Quiet Donegal coast retreat
The cottage is located on the beautiful and unspoilt Traigheanna Bay, with views out to the Atlantic Ocean. It is nicely furnished and has a well equipped kitchen. Both the kitchen dining table and the outdoor seating areas are great for catching the sun and admiring the views. 3 good supermarkets available in Dungloe, just 10 minutes drive away. Thoroughly recommended!
