Aileach View - Burt

This is a truly exceptional holiday home nestling in rolling countryside in the shadow of the ancient ring fort from which it derives its name. Extending to over 3,500 sq ft, Aileach View has 6 bedrooms and can accommodate up to 12 people. There are many appealing features inside the house, an obvious one being the six metre long communal kitchen and the two main living rooms with their vaulted ceilings enhancing the overall spaciousness. The house also features a geo-thermal heating system and has extensive wood decking to the front. Aileach View occupies a 0.75 acre landscaped site and has a large lawn for the kids to enjoy.

The holiday home faces south towards Inch Island, the upper reaches of Lough Swilly and the ancient ring fort from which the house takes its name. The centre of historic Derry City, with its theatre, cinema, museums, shops and restaurants is only a 5 min drive by car. Letterkenny, Donegal's main town, is a 25 min drive and the house is ideally located at the base of the Inishowen peninsula.
