Premium Donegal Holiday Accommodation

Escape the norm — Let the Wild Atlantic Way refresh your spirit

One bedroom holiday apartments and guest suites for couple escapes, adventure holidays, and family getaways to Donegal.

Welcome to Atlantic Way Lodge

Ensconced in the Donegal Gaeltacht in an area of undisturbed natural beauty; where the Irish language lives on, traditions run deep, and the spectacular Slieve League Peninsula takes your breath away.

Our family-run self-catering accommodation enjoys a truly privileged location, caught between coast and countryside with sea views and everything close to hand, being beside the Gaeltacht village of Kilcar, offering you a peaceful base from which to explore Donegal’s coastline. Discover secluded beaches, striking rock formations Muckross Head, and ghostly Port Village.

Wander into the majesty of the Bluestack Mountains and the wide open spaces of the Glenveagh National Park.

Pack your outdoor gear and set off to the Wild Atlantic Way for the adventure of a lifetime.

We’ll be waiting with a warm welcome!

Looking for a relaxing break or a fun-filled adventure? Our self-catering holiday homes in Kilcar are the perfect base for both!
