The Eagles Rock Residence
This quiet, comfortable whitewashed cottage in the lee of the Dartry Mountains in County Leitrim sleeps up to 5 and is the perfect away-from-it-all retreat. Located on Truskmore overlooking the picturesque Glenade Valley, it is surrounded by an acre of land and is a world away from busy city life. The nearest village is 10 minutes away by car, and the coast is 15 minutes away. Best of all, the Eagles Rock Trail starts 300m from the cottage, so you can hike to the top of nearby mountains and enjoy views of Donegal Bay. Warm up after your adventures around the cozy woodburning stove.
What we love
- It’s rustic and rural and a real break from modern life and distractions (= more time to devote to playing and bonding together as a family)
- There are great opportunities for adventure and activity nearby: climbing, mountain walking, cycling country lanes and surfing (in very thick wetsuits)
- The kitchen is hand built with a breakfast bar and all mod cons, including washing machine and dishwasher
- The living room is a cozy relaxing space after outdoor adventuring, with a woodburning stove, TV and sofas
- There are two double bedrooms, and a crib can be added to the master bedroom, which also has an ensuite shower
- On a sunny day, you can drink coffee from the espresso machine outside at the bench and table and admire the views
- There are lots of books and guides to borrow
- The residence is 300m from the Eagles Rock hiking trail, which leads up nearby mountains for views of Donegal Bay
