Coyle's cottage is a
homely and comfortable holiday home set in a spectacular location
overlooking Mulroy Bay. The view from the beautiful Conservatory/Dining
area of the cottage will literally take your breath away.
The cottage is ideally
located to tour the wonderful scenery of north Donegal. On your doorstep
you have the renowned Atlantic Drive. This is a scenic drive
starting in Downings and continuing around the spectacular Rosguil
Peninsula. In the locality you also have the lovely
Lough
Salt Drive.
A little further afield
you have beautiful and varied coastal landscapes in such areas as
Bloody Foreland,
Horn Head, the Rosses and the Fanad Peninsula.
Moving inland you have the majestic and unspoilt Donegal Highlands
where the magnificent
Glenveagh
National Park is located. The new Rathmullan to Buncrana car ferry
service opens up the Inishowen Peninsula for touring.
The natural landscape
of the
Rosguil Peninsula provides the basis for many of the
activities that the visitor can enjoy. The peninsula has an abundance of golden sandy beaches including the
famous “Tra na Rossan” beach which is a 5 minute drive from the
cottage. Unsurprisingly there are many water based activities in the
Downings/Carrigart area to enjoy - including windsurfing, deep sea
diving, sea angling and boat charters. There is also horse riding,
tennis and hill walking. Within a short drive of the cottage is the
scenic Ards Forest Park.
For the golf enthusiast the cottage
offers a superb base to play some of the great links courses of North
Donegal. A 5 minute drive brings you to two superb championship golf
links at Rosapenna - Sandy Hills Course and the Old Tom
Morris Course. In nearby Carrigart the existing St Patrick's Course
is being redesigned by Jack Nicklaus. Within half an hours drive there
are two more excellent courses – Portsalon and Dunfanaghy.
The Rathmullan to Buncrana car ferry service brings the
magnificent courses in Ballyliffin within easier reach.
Coyle's Cottage is
located in a peaceful and quite area - but is only 2km from Downings.
The village of Downings itself is a popular and lively holiday
destination with a number of fine traditional pubs and a variety of
restaurants. So whether you prefer a peaceful and relaxing holiday
-
or a more lively activity based break - Coyle's Cottage is your ideal
base.
