Property information

Aras, located in West Donegal, Ireland provides both self catering accommodation as well as an optional Breakfast ( not included in the price ). Our guests describe Aras as a ‘home away from home’. A short 5 minute drive takes you to the quaint little town of Glencolumbkille (Glencolmcille), and a 15 minute drive gets you to the world famous Slieve League Sea Cliffs, offering spectacular views or breath taking hiking. We offer great value accommodation to suit your needs, whether that’s a family room for a week long break, a single room for a night, or a large group of up to 50 guests. Pick from 20 rooms, cozy up in our large kitchen area with its own rustic fireplace, and kick your feet up in our large lounging area.

Neighbourhood information

We are located in the heart of the Donegal Gealtacht on the Slieve League peninsula. Áras Ghleann Cholm Cille can be found at Rossan Point – the most westerly point in the parish of Glencolmcille, the county of Donegal and indeed the entire province of Ulster!! West Donegal is unspoilt nature at its best. Aras is situated near the coast with unspoilt mountain and sea views. The view over Rathlin O'Byrne island with its ( still operating ) lighthouse is postcard perfect. Slieve League, amongst the highest sea cliffs in Europe, is only 15 minutes away. The area surrounding Slieve League is completely unspoiled and provides a wealth of spectacular rocky coastline, magnificent inlets, pristine beaches and crystal-clear ocean waters. We have 8 brochures describing Slieve League, Mukross Head and the Coastal Road, Maghera beach and Assaranca Waterfall and the 2 surrounding mountain passes, An Port an abandoned Famine Village and all the activities surrounding Aras. If you send us a request with you personal email address, we will forward these to you.
