| Set amidst the rolling hills
of South Donegal, Coxtown is a 19th Century manor house situated within
16 acres of grounds, steeped in Irish country charm and renowned for its
fine dining.
Coxtown Manor is filled with memories from its 150 year
history, with period furnishings and open log fires in cosy lounges and
even some of the bedrooms, creating the ambience of a traditional Irish
manor house.
The spacious bedrooms are located within the original
manor house and the renovated 350-year-old Coach houses in the grounds.
Those in the house are full of country house charm with high ceilings,
open fireplaces and modern bathrooms, while the rooms in the Coach houses
blend Georgian character with luxurious contemporary fittings. All rooms
have king sized beds and are equipped with the usual facilities.
Coxtown Manor is rightly proud of its cuisine and the
food is locally sourced, from locally reared beef, freshly caught sea
food, local wild salmon in season, organic vegetables and even free range
eggs from the Coxtown Manor's own hens for breakfast in the morning!
The Restaurant serves up a delightful mix of Irish produce
and Belgian cuisine (as the owner is from Belgium). With succulent dishes
such as whole de-boned pigeon, with caramelized apples and chicory or
whole pre-cracked Donegal Bay Lobster, with a butter sauce or a lobster
mayonnaise. The wine menu is equally as impressive, offering a wide and
affordable selection and Coxtown Manor comes recommended in a number of
international good food guides.
Coxtown Manor is perfectly placed for touring this lesser
travelled, but nonetheless beautiful corner of Ireland, with stunning
coastline and sandy beaches around Donegal Bay the sweeping valleys of
Glenbeigh to the North, and Donegal Town, which is just 6 miles away.
