Years ago, I came to Ireland to write a book. I choose Ireland because I was in harmony with a feeling
well expressed by Eamon De Valera: "Irish genius has always valued spiritual and intellectual qualities more
than the material ones". |

| It hurts to share
with readers one of my favourite place to stay in Donegal, the Green Gate
is a little Spartan for some, but paradise for others. |

| There are slate
windowsills and rough cast walls, not a wardrobe in sight. A tall man
could crack his head on a ceiling and the bathwater is a rich peaty brown.
But that is not the point. The Green Gate is the greatest little B&B in Ireland. It is simply one of the things you must do in Ireland like kissing Blarney Stone or climbing Croagh Patrick. |

| “Some people (doubless with a well-polished
4x4) do not get what it is that makes “The Green
Gate” so special. But for those who do get what it is that is simple,
elegant, ageless little collection of cottage offers, you simply cannot
get enough of its monastic calm, its space in time, its understanding
of what it is in life, and indeed hospitality, which is important.” |

| “This place is magic, just don’t expect
luxury here, leave the Mercedes at home, and come with an open mind.” |

| The Green Gate won’t
appeal to everyone; the facilities are basic and the atmosphere unapologetically
casual. To me it is the perfect place, next time I will stay longer. |

has a subversive sense of humour and oodles of Gallic charm. His outhouses
have been revamped as ensuite bedrooms with original low ceilings
furnishings are tasteful. Instead of synthetic duvets, there are soft,
locally spun wool blankets in vivid hues of heather and gorse. |
