Description :'Galwolie' is a charming, traditional Irish Cottage, built around 1900. Named after a nearby hill, it originally had a thatch roof, which was replaced by slate/tile at some stage in the past. It has a living room with an open fireplace, a main bedroom with an open fireplace, and a rear facing kitchen, bathroom and a second bedroom.

It comfortably sleeps four, though there is a sleeper couch for more. Fixtures and furnishings are in keeping with the style and period of the cottage. It has been restored and renovated, and includes some modern features like electricity, plumbing and central heating, to make for a comfortable and pleasant stay.

It is situated on the lower slopes of a hill called 'Croaghleconnel', about 600 metres from the banks of the Gweebarra River, and 2.5km south west of the village of Doochary or 6km north east of Lettermacaward. The cottage is well concealed by surrounding trees, with a coniferous forest in front; (See bottom picture.) - and one can sense that it is a magical place of calm, peaceful serenity. A perfect location for those who 'want to get away from it all!' Perhaps suitable for artists, or individuals needing a place to reflect and meditate. Look out for the fairies!

On the other hand, the area is a 'Mecca' for anglers, with one of the most scenic and beautiful, picturesque rivers in Donegal, if not Ireland. The Gweebarra is a twenty mile long stretch of 'spate river' flowing from Lough Barra to Gweebarra Bay and includes ten miles of estuarine water.

The Gweebarra has a good run of late spring fish at the end of April, with Grilse running from the end of June and good-sized summer salmon running from August onwards. Sea trout are at their best from July and are usually taken from the estuary and the pools around the Doochary area; other noted spots on the river are the famous Mayo pool at the confluence of the Cloghanagore River and the Falls pool. Any of the traditional Irish shrimp flies work well on the river, as does the popular flying C.
