Resting rurally in Ramelton, County Donegal is The River House, a wonderful three-storey property, welcoming six guests and one furry companion. Enjoying a prime position near a host of amenities and upon the riverside, whilst offering guests flexible sleeping and living arrangements, a stunning multi-level garden, and a characterful interior, the property delivers the perfect base for a family escape. Park up on the roadside before entering into The River House and ascending up to the first floor; here you will find the light-flooded open-plan living space, offering a well-equipped kitchen, a relaxed dining area, and a homely sitting area with a balcony onto the elevated patio.

There is a small one bedroom cottage at the end of the patio, occasionally used by the owners family, which can be available for larger parties. Next door you will find the charming dining room, set up for formal meals with the woodburning stove alight, before descending to the ground floor, where you can relax in the sitting room with one of the many books on offer in hand. When sleep calls, select between a ground-floor king-size with Sky TV and access to the rear patio, serviced by a shower room, and a king-size and a twin, both set on the second-floor, serviced by an indulgent bathroom with Jacuzzi bath.

Awaken to a stroll around the pretty gardens before travelling beyond The River House to stock up on the essentials, dine out and visit the stunning landscape of Lennon River Waterfall. Travelling further afield, enjoy a round of golf at Letterkenny Golf Club, or if you'd prefer an activity for all the family, head to Letterkenny Activity Centre, to try your hand at archery, the high ropes, and go karting. Finish off your getaway in a nature-filled surrounding by hiking across Glenveagh National Park, the second largest reserve in Ireland, touring Glenveagh Castle, and following the walking trails through Mullangore Wood, offering breath-taking vistas of the nearby lochs.

Ramelton, a peaceful historic settlement in County Donegal, is located where the River Lennon merges with Lough Swilly at the tip of the Fanad Peninsula. Ramelton, which was founded in the 17th century and is tucked within a wooded valley, is known for its unusual warehouse architecture on its quays. One of Donegal's most significant ports, Ramelton has a rich history. In the 1800s, ships from the Caribbean came here to export the village's linen. Even though the area is now quieter, there are still a lot of friendly local businesses that welcome tourists, and there are plenty of chances for golfers and fisherman. Beaches at Rathmullan and Dunfanaghy are both close by, as is the charming Fanad Head.
