~ Taxi service

So mostly all our guests needs are within a few steps walk of Daisy Cottage.

There are many sandy beaches within minutes drive of Daisy Cottage and you can read more about our beaches HERE.

Dining out is a real pleasure in this area as there are plenty of restaurants, pub-diners, and cafes within minutes drive too.  In the village itself there is Baskins Diner which is hugely popular with both locals and visitors and serves real chips and fresh fish in batter along with all the other foods you would expect in a diner (they also do take-away).  Sarah Jessica Parker who has a holiday home in a nearby village called Baskins "The best fish and chip shop in Ireland".

Most of the restaurants source their food locally and so the standard is very high and seafood is usually fished off our own shores around Donegal.  Fresh fish can also be bought on the pier in nearby Killybegs.

So that's most of what is inside and out of Daisy Cottage!
