Cloncha Cottage gets its name from an ancient high stone cross that stands some four metres tall in a field near a ruined church, situated just below the Hill of Deen, about 3km east of Culdaff. As long ago as the sixth century, this area was important to the early Christians, who built a monastery here, and the site was favoured by bishops as a final resting place. For those who have an interest, many fascinating ruins and reminders of past times are to be found in this area.
Cloncha, Temple of Deen, Bocan Stone Circle, Carrowmore, and St Buadan's Boat, are all places of historical interest near Culdaff.

The cottage itself is a lovely, recently built four bedroom dwelling that sleeps up to eight. There are two en-suites and a main bathroom, a fully fitted kitchen, a dining area, utility room and a sun-room (or conservatory). The lounge has a traditional open fireplace, and there is oil fired central heating, with full insulation and double glazing on all windows to ensure warmth in the colder months.
Situated in the Dunailainn complex, less than 1 km. from the village green in Culdaff, and just off the main road to Moville.

The popular and famous establishment known as "McGrory's", is a five minute walk, and here you will find a small hotel, a fine restaurant and two pubs; - The Front Bar, noted for its fine selection of food , drink and traditional Irish Music, and the Backroom Bar, which is really more of a function room, famous throughout Ireland and beyond for its range and quality of music and entertainment.

The (Blue Flag status) beach is about 2km away, just north of the village, and is a wonderful stretch of "sand and foam".
Depending on tides and wind conditions, the beach becomes a great surfing venue.

On the east end of the beach, you will find the car park, and a well equipped children's play area that will keep the young ones happily occupied for many hours. On the beaches west side, you will find a picturesque little fishing harbour protected by a breakwater known as Bunagee Pier. The pier is a popular spot for anglers to cast a line.

Golfers will find that they are not far from a course, when they want to play; with the popular two links courses at Ballyliffin and others at Buncrana, Redcastle, Greencastle, and Culmore in Derry, all within a half hour drive.

Near the Ballyliffin golf course, on the Isle of Doagh, a visit to the 'Famine Village' cannot be ignored, when in the area.
To quote from their website;
"In brief, the Famine Village is an outdoor museum that tells the story of life in the area from the Famine back in the 1840s, through the 1900s to the present day. Different to any other tourist attraction in Ireland the Famine Village depicts life in Ireland as it was, un-commercialised, interdenominational & interspersed with humorous anecdotes of Irish life!

Each year, as the festive period approaches, Doagh Famine Village is transformed into Donegal's very own Lapland, SANTA'S ISLAND!
Both children and adults alike can enjoy and participate in the magic of this enchanting, festive experience."
