Bothog-a-Holladha - Portnablagh

Newly renovated cottage situated at the edge of Sessiagh Lake just off the main road to Port-na-Blagh and Dunfanaghy. This is a comfortable cottage in private grounds in an idyllic setting with panoramic views of the lake. Keen fishermen can fish at the bottom of the garden if a permit has been purchased. This is a great area for bird watching with many native species to be spotted on the waters and along the shores of Sessiagh Lake.

Surrounding Area

The cottage is very private but only 1 km from Marble Hill beach and The Shandon Hotel which has an excellent Spa and leisure centre which includes a swimming pool which is open to none residents.

You will be within walking distance of Port-na-Blagh Beach and Harbour and Dunfanaghy is only 2 km away. Regular mini buses run in and out to Dunfanaghy at night which will ensure a safe night out ( contact no. available at the cottage).

The cottage is located on the shores of Sessiagh Lake along the road leading to Dunfanaghy. The entrance is just before the 80km signs and before Boyles Holiday Homes. Bothog-a-Holladha is in the Portnablagh area but also in close proximity to Dunfanaghy and Marble Hill/ Killahoey.

Dunfanaghy Golf Club is an 18 hole links course and is only 1km from the apartment. The course is  an excellent golfing challenge, with spectacular views of  headlands, beaches, harbours and mountains. The greens are consistently rated with the best in the country, and the course - being sand-based  -  is playable throughout the year.
