Rating
5 out of 5

Luxury in an idyllic setting.

PDTM Leeds
Review Submitted: August 10, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Tara's House was the perfect base for a wonderfully relaxing holiday in Donegal. Tara's was clean and tidy upon arrival and the cottage has every modern comfort to make your stay relaxing. The views from the house are stunning. The outside lighting and furniture add that touch of luxury. Tara's House made the perfect base for exploring Donegal and its breathtaking scenery and the ferry at Greencastle (3 miles) allows access to Northern Ireland including the Giants Causeway.

I would recommend Tara's cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing break in Ireland. Fantastic!
