A lovely trip to the Northern Coast/Donegal County

My 27 year old son and I came to visit Donegal, the ancestral home of his father’s family. We spent 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed Buncrana. We drove up to Malin Head through stunning scenery and visited sites in and around Buncrana. Julie was a kind and accommodating host. The property was well appointed with comfortable beds and a full kitchen on the outskirts of Buncrana. Due to the rain, we drove into town each time we went but it’s close enough to walk in better weather. The cottage was stocked with enough coffee for our first morning (and more) but we picked up some groceries, including more Nespresso pods and breakfast foods. We ate our other meals out and greatly enjoyed the fresh and local food. We highly recommend Ubiquitous which had a lovely atmosphere and a variety of small plates along with a well-stocked bar. The second night, we ordered in takeaway from Sherpa and enjoyed their authentic Indian food.
