A large house, built on a 3 acre site in a quiet and peaceful area of Doagh Island, just outside Ballyliffin. Originally designed to function as a B&B, each bedroom is fitted with its own en-suite bathroom. There are 3 bedrooms on the ground floor and a large open-plan living/dining & kitchen area. Provision has been made to add another 4 bedrooms to the upstairs roof area. Spectacular views of the surrounding area including Trawbreaga Bay are to be enjoyed from here.

Located within a very short distance to the popular Famine Village, an outdoor museum with displays of buildings and models that tell the story of life in 1840's Ireland during the great famine and onward. The centre holds different events throughout the year, and includes music and dancing performed by local artists in the summer months of July and August. From 24th November to 24th December, the centre transforms into "Donegal's Lapland, Santa's Island": - a must see for all ages! - As this event is extremely popular, early booking is essential.

The Ballyliffin Golf Club, with its old and new links is just a 5 minute drive over on the western side of the Isle of Doagh. Great for golf enthusiasts, the club has hosted world famous golfers and major tournaments.

Doagh Island is a great area for walkers (other than the golfers), providing spectacular coastal scenery, with the 2 mile Pollan Strand beach and nearby Glashedy Island. On a large rock named Friars Rock, stands the ruins of Carraickabraghy Castle, originally part of a much larger structure, it once had an oval bawn and 7 circular towers enclosing a keep. Ownership of the castle changed hands many times and was once occupied by McFaul, the 11th descendant of Prince Eoghain, son of Niall and the nine hostages. It was last inhabited in 1665.
Near the castle, at high tide, a fissure in a rock aptly named the "hissing rock" spurts a jet of sea water high into the air.
