add to favouritesabout the property
Built by Under the Thatch on Traighenna Bay, West Donegal. Sleeps 2
Luna sits on the edge of a small natural pool with 'Kuba' alongside where guests can enjoy their evenings undercover with a wood-burning stove. It's an entirely self-contained private unit that is comfortable all year round.
Luna has been carefully designed to contain all the essentials - a quality (full-size) double bed, fridge, cooker, and a small shower and toilet room inside. Outside you've decking and Kuba, an 'outdoor cube' we designed so you could enjoy the views fireside in any weather.
A 5-minute drive will take you to Dooey beach (one of the finest in Ireland) or there are smaller, sandy beaches on the way. You can walk to the shore from Luna, but it's best to nip into the car for the really nice sandy beaches. Locally you'll find an amazing coastline, small-towns, good food, Glenveigh National Park and plenty to fill weeks of day trips.

We had a fantastic week in the hut, in a beautiful part of the world, and would definitely recommend it to others. Already thinking about booking again for next year! - Maurice

- Belfast International via these departure airports & Easyjet & Ryanair (2 hr. 25 mins.) - good for Giant's Causeway
- Belfast City via these departure airports & Ryanair (2 hr. 35 mins.) - good for Giant's Causeway
