Margaret Byrne gives guests a warm welcome to Corner House B&B accommodation in this heritage-rich Donegal village of Cashel, Glencolmcille, 15 kilometres west of the fishing port of Killybegs, south west Donegal. In a way that is very much typical of the easy going ambience of the village and its surroundings, visitors are immediately made to feel at their ease in this substantially built and extremely comfortable guesthouse.
The surrounding area of mountains with Slieve League at nearly two thousand feet having the highest sea cliffs in Europe, Malin Beg (1415 feet), Glenlough (1513 feet) makes it an ideal base for walking whilst the quiet beaches, particularly the Silver Strand, offer a very rare tranquillity. The area also abounds with rivers and lakes, making fishing a very popular pursuit.
For a local night out the visitor need look no further than Roarty's Bar, just up the road whose mine host incidentally is Margaret Byrne's son, JP. This bar typifies the social and cultural make up of the village, and here, local and visiting musicians and singers perform routinely their talented and gifted repetoire, reflecting the heritage and history of the area.
Glencolmcille (Gleann Cholm Cille) is situated in the Gaeltacht (an area where Irish is the first language of the people) and is named after Saint Colmcille who used its remoteness as a place of retreat.
A folk village and cultural centre play host to many visitors and Foras Cultúir Uladh, through Oideas Gael, hosts Irish language courses catering for all levels of knowledge throughout the year.
