The Hidden Cottage, Ardara, Donegal.

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway, outside the heritage town of Ardara. Off the beaten track and set deep within the Donegal countryside, overlooking a lake, with just sheep for neighbours, the Hidden Cottage offers the ultimate 'get away from it all' experience.
This beautiful cottage has recently been refurbished throughout and is meticulously designed, giving it a unique style and appeal. The cottage is fully equipped for self catering, making it perfect for family getaways.
