Waterside Holiday Rentals in Donegal
Donegal with children: activities with kids
Donegal is very much a family-friendly destination. The Rose Cottage Riding School and the Letterkenny go-karting centre both have great facilities for learning to ride and having a spin behind the wheel. The area isn’t short on rainy day activities either. Bundoran Bowling and Jungle King (a large indoor play area) are both ideal ways to pass the time if you need to stay indoors and have a little time away from your Donegal holiday letting .
If you want to explore the great outdoors then Maghera Caves and Glenveagh National Park are both close by. Glenveagh also offers family events in the summer, all of which are free but you are advised to book in advance.
Sights in Donegal: what to see when you visit
Donegal town is the centre of activity for visitors to the region. Though easy to explore on foot, bicycles are a common site and can be hired from the high street. The local traveller information centre on Quay Street is an excellent resource for current events, but some permanent highlights of the town are the castle and the abbey. Rossnowlagh, located around 20 minutes from the centre, is a popular blue flag beach that is an excellent location for both relaxing and recreation. Water sports, swimming and surfing are all popular activities here.
Donegal is a county brimming with natural beauty, and this is why most travellers choose to visit the region. The Slieve League cliffs on the Atlantic coast are stunning and a must-visit. You can traverse the many paths at your leisure while taking in the panoramic views before you return to your Donegal holiday home.
There are two inhabited islands which make for wonderful day trips. Arronmore and Tory Island both offer at least one hotel, several pubs and spectacular scenery. Arronmore is accessible by car-ferry while the smaller Tory Island can only be reached by the foot passenger service.
Those who like to take to the green for a spot of golf won’t be disappointed with a holiday home in Donegal. There are multiple courses littered across the county and the naturally rugged topography make for challenging courses with spectacular views.
