Welcome to the Northwestern Coast of Ireland!

      HOME AT FIRST’s cottages in Counties Donegal and Sligo are close to the dramatically beautiful northwestern coast of Ireland. On the northwest coast you are close to some of Ireland’s most spectacular scenery: the rugged coastal peninsulas jutting into the Atlantic. Great golf, fine fishing, top-notch touring, and excellent eating make this least-visited corner of the Irish Republic an undiscovered treasure.
