Hot tea, coffee and snacks are waiting for you when you arrive and are always available to guests. Proprietors, Margaret and her mother Catherine Molloy will welcome you and, if you're lucky, tell you some of the old tales and legends of the area.

Kilcar is named after St. Cartha's church, its patron saint. The old ruins of the original church are themselves only a short walk from Riverside House. St. Cartha's Well, one of many local Holy Wells is also nearby.

Kilcar river, itself the combined waters of two mountain streams runs by and flows out to Towney Bay as seen from the house as it meets Teelin and then Donegal Bay.

Margaret and Catherine will help you with information about all kinds of exciting activities. From deep sea angling in search of sharks to giant Bluefin tuna, from breathtaking hiking to shopping for local handwoven tweed and crafts, not forgetting learning about the history and unforgettable charm and hospitality of the Donegal people, the two "women of the house" will gladly help make your stay as memorable and enjoyable as possible.

Come visit Ireland. If you're already here then let your adventurous spirit take you to the "wilds", lakes and bays of Donegal.
