Martello Tower, over looking Greencastle, Donegal.

It says 20 mins! 🫣🫢😆 it definitely doesn't take 20 mins.... I'd say 10! 🫣 (keeping to the speed limit)!

You can even hop on the ferry and go across to Donegal for a trip, dip or a sip!

Wow, look at this photo. Very glad that the bridge now has two handrails-dont think I could have walked over it with one! Look at the wee dog too! 🫢

Quilly is only 19 miles away.

Beach Life ⛱️

Its only a 4 minute drive away (obviously keeping within speed limit) 🫠

There is nowhere else I'd rather be, than dandering on this beach... 🫶

Castlerock is one of thee nicest beaches we have on our huge coastline of lush sandy beaches.

We also have Downhill, Magillan and Benone all stunning-miles, and miles of stunning views, walks and sand dunnes.

🐕 Dog Friendly 🐕

It's the Paw'fect place to stay now! 😅

Our "furbabies" were rehomed, and love their home comforts, so we have one of my friends or family move into our own home to look after them, or we take them with us! They are not spoilt at all 😅

We decided that really anyone going away really wants their dogs with the too! So, Quilly is now Dog friendly, for well-behaved dogs (and owners)!

Our drawing room and bedrooms are out of bounds (apart from one), but the Green Snug room is pawfect for a cuddle, and everywhere else, we are more than happy to make your pups at home.

Shorter stays also now available that we have got into the swing of things 😀

So, give your dog a break - they will love all the country walks, beach walks, forest walks, and eating in dog friendly places. (Please
tag dog friendly restaurants/cafes - we will add them to our location book).

We had a fab break ourselves with our pups and they enjoyed eating out with their wee blanket below them! 🫶

Appreciation Post...

We are grateful to all of you who tagged local cleaning services.

I had interviews lined up, and some people come into your life just by chance, and I was grateful that Shona and her lovely family business did just that... will be working with us in keeping our lovely home sparkly clean. 🫶 Its difficult handing your home over, but they are just kind, genuine, people with similar values to us. They also Love Cleaning!!

One thing that really was important to me is that they use Eco/Pet friendly products, zero chemicals and they also get refills which reduces plastic waste. We are delighted that they use TruWASH products throughout the house. 🐝🦋🐕‍🦺🐕🦔🌎

We hit it off straight away, and could have sat talking for hours... I think we have the best wee team looking after all for us. 🙏

As things develop and we are learning the ropes at renting out our home, we are getting lots of tips, and advice from others already offering AirBnB, to which we want to say a massive Thankyou to each of you who have sent me little messages. Its lovely that we have so many friends, and absolute strangers who have got in touch.

Watch the space - I will have another announcement next week - that will get a lot of you just a little bit excited about coming to stay at Quilly! 😍

Only a few minutes drive from Quilly, or if you're feeling adventurous, you could take a dander.

Beautiful walks, various routes, and views of Downhill Beach.

It's one of my favourite places, even better on a cold day when the beach isn't packed. 💛
