WHY YOU SHOULD HOLIDAY IN DONEGAL!
Well, you probably already know that it's the most beautiful part of Ireland!  But if you are considering coming to Ireland for a holiday then let us show you why you should come to County Donegal.  Just look at how Kate and her family spend their holidays in Donegal here or click on this link to see a video and hear more about, what Donegal has to offer and then start your holiday by coming to ride at Rose Cottage Riding School!

You might like to note that in the video mention is made that Nick Faldo and other golf professionals love some of the Golf courses in Donegal.  If you or your partner like golf then you should know that one of these very golf courses is actually only ten minutes away from
Rose Cottage!!  See information about Ballyliffin below!

IS YOUR INTERNET SPEED A PROBLEM?
Our web site makes extensive use of photographs and a fast Internet connexion is clearly desirable.  If the speed of your Internet connexion is making some of our pages rather too slow to view and you are unable to move to a faster and substantially more expensive Internet link, then a cheap Accelerated Software solution from a company like On speed (or others) might be able to help.  For only a modest annual payment of less than 40 Euros , such an approach can be used to improve speeds, sometimes by x5 or even up to x10 in some cases, and it can improve both Dial-up and even current Broadband speeds too. What's more, the approach has even won plaudits from the computer press.  Obviously, we at Rose Cottage can make no guarantee as to use or fitness for your purpose, but you might like to go to  http://www.onspeed.com for more information. If doing that does speed things up for you, we really do hope you'll use your new 'whizzo' speed to keep coming back to us to see how we are doing...!  We hope we have been of help.
