I stayed at this beautiful holiday home last summer. It was great - beautiful place, amazing surf and great pubs around. The price isn't bad as well.

An atmospheric gem of a lovely informal old house with accommodation and a little traditional bar in an exquisite remote setting overlooking a bay. They serve exceptional spanking fresh local seafood cooked to perfection at very good prices with a few tables looking out over the lovely view. But it is really the atmosphere of the place, the laid back and unpretentious welcome from each family member that makes it like visiting friends, the traditional little bar where you can get a pint of Guinness and hang with the locals, listen to music, have a seafood snack, and then at the end of a brilliant night of chat and craic you can fall into bed in one of their newly renovated bedrooms with lovely views across the bay.

I went on a road trip round Ireland last summer, came across these boys in Donegal. They're based up in Donfanaghy, where the landscape is wild (think North Scotland, just as unspoilt and rugged). The lads sorted us out with cheap accommodation, and pointed us in the direction of great waves. It's a wee bit expensive to get to Ireland, but this is a wild, remote part of the world, and a cracking place to (learn to) surf.

Donegal, the rallying capital of Ireland, is a car driver's dream.
Hire a car and explore Donegal's plunging glens, remote promontories, rugged coastline, meandering roads and mysterious boreens. Tour its unspoilt villages with their
atmospheric pubs and welcoming people. Experience for yourself the famous 'homes of Donegal'.

What a place if you like scenery, empty beaches, friendly people and good craic! Plenty of houses to rent too.

There are many places of interest and it's easy too to get across by ferry to visit places such as the Giant's Causeway and Ballycastle. But hurry as there's talk of a big hotel being built near Clonmany and all this might change.

I heartily recommend Danny Minnie’s restaurant in West Donegal’s Annagry, which is in the Gaelic-speaking Gaeltacht. The restaurant offers fine dining with plenty of local produce, including seafood, and the menu’s in English as well as Irish. Book into one of the guest rooms and - if you haven’t had enough the night before - you can choose a nip of whiskey for your porridge for breakfast. The cosy spot is only a bagel’s gowl from Carrickfin beach and some great walking to blow away the cobwebs.

Ardara is a small unpretentious town in Donegal, which hosts this year's annual festival of traditional music on May 4, 5, and 6.

Its people and pubs are great. Local scenic points include the Glengesh Pass, the Maghera Falls and the views out over the Atlantic from Loughros Point.

Good beaches around the area too.

Skippers is a wonderful seafood restaurant run by a local family which prides itself on the quality - and quantity - of its seafood dishes.

It also is a very friendly place, great fun, lovely family. It also has a wide range of other dishes - including a great children's menu - children are very welcome.

Burtonport is a fishing village which is the gateway to Arranmore, a wonderful island to vist, and a myriad of other islands. From Skippers, there are great walks, sea trips, plus musical evenings.

Originally Ireland's flagship youth hostel, it's a little tatty these days and definitely no frills. But it has loads of character and a fantastic view, and at 14 euros a night a perfect base to explore the area settled by St Columb in the 6th century, and the Slieve League - at 600m, Europe's highest sea cliffs.

In the town of Glencolumbcille, take the road beside the Glenhead tavern and it's 1.5km up the road on the left - 973 0130

Donegal has the most spectacular landscape in the country. It is not as "touristy" as the likes of Kerry and Cork. It is fantastic for beaches - there are too many great beaches to list. The county is a hill walkers paradise. Climb Slieve League in the south west of the county or Mount Errigal in the north. The people are very friendly. Think of Dublin as being a parallel universe to this place - people take their time here to talk to one another. Tourists are generally treated with courtesy.
