Any recommendations of where to stay, preferably a small town or village as a base, would be appreciated. And essential not-to-be-missed sites.
We actually stayed just outside Donegal town itself, a B&B Lodge named The Gap Lodge on the N15. Wasn't going to win prizes for chocolate box-ness, but no complaints at all... of course we were there to see stuff.
If you've a car you'd obviously be just above Sligo so might be difficult to resist the awesome [[Knocknarea]], or come to that, [[Carrowkeel]] and [[Creevykeel]]
If not favourite Donegal sites were:
[[Beltany]]
[[Cloghanmore]]
[[Malin More]].... just the six dolmens in a line
[[Croaghbeg]] and [[Shalwy]]
and the magnificent [[Kilclooney More]] portal
Many thanks Gladman, still very much at 'research' stage and won't be fixing anything until well into the new year. If I do go it will be with my friend who used to live in Northern Ireland and who knows Donegal quite well. Friend says west coast is the place to head for (and Sligo) - does have car. I also have a good friend who lives in Derry so would like to drop by if at all possible. I'm going to make a note of the sites you've mentioned and much appreciate you taking the time to answer my post.
Thanks again

PS: Things don't seem quite so gloomy today - I don't do wall to wall wind and rain too well.
