Donegal Cottage Holidays Home Page

No.8 The Garden - Portsalon

This modern 3 bedroom holiday home boasts excellent facilities, which is child friendly and family orientated. It's situated near the Pier Beach and within easy walking distance to the local restaurant and bar. It also has the added advantage of sleeping up to 8 guests, which we're sure can accommodate the larger family circle.

Accommodation in the holiday home consists of 3 bright and comfortable bedrooms (one ensuite) that can sleep up to 8 people.  The Shaker style kitchen has a separate dining area with double doors leading to garden. The living room features a high vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and is equipped with tv, dvd, board games and selection of dvd's. For families with young children, a useful feature is the enclosed rear and side gardens.

Surrounding Area

The holiday home is located in the quaint seaside village of Portsalon. This lovely resort has a fabulous blue flag beach and a top class golf course. At the village harbour, just below the holiday home, there is a water sports centre where kayaks, pedal boats, wetsuits and boogie boards can be hired. Further north along the Fanad Peninsula from the holiday home there are a number of secluded beaches including Sessiagh and Ballyhoorisky.

The beautiful Ballyhiernan beach is located on the northern coast of the Fanad Peninsula. This beach is the location of the Adventure One Surf School  - the leading ISA (Irish Surfing Association) approved school on the north coast of Donegal.

A new bridge over Mulroy Bay was completed in 2009. This now links the Fanad and Rosguill Peninsulas making it much easier for visitors to the holiday home to access attractions such as the Atlantic Drive, Ards Forest Park and spectacular  Horn Head. Indeed the bridge, in the conjunction with the Rathmullan to Buncrana car ferry, will mean that the holiday home is centrally located to play the 3 top rated golf links in North Donegal - Portsalon, Rosapenna and Ballyliffen
