Coxtown Manor
Just a short drive from the county town, this welcoming late Georgian house set in its own parkland is in a lovely, peaceful area close to Donegal Bay. Belgian proprietor, Edward Dewael - who fell for the property some years ago and is still in the process of upgrading it - personally ensures that everything possible is done to make guests feel at home.
A pleasant wood-panelled bar with an open fire is well-stocked, notably with Belgian beers and a great selection of digestifs to accompany your after dinner coffee - and it extends into a pleasant conservatory on one side and a comfortable drawing room, also with open fire, on the other.
Accommodation is divided between a recently converted coach house at the back where the new bedrooms are very spacious, with plenty of room for golf gear and large items of luggage, and have excellent bathrooms to match - yet many guests still prefer the older rooms in the main house, for their character; some have countryside views and open fireplaces (turf, firelighters and matches supplied!) and they are large, comfortable and well-proportioned, with updated bathrooms, robes and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries.
