Drim Cottage at Malin Head is positioned on an elevation commanding fabulous views of the local surroundings; - A view from every room! The home is well furnished, with all the amenities for a comfortable stay. Five bedrooms, 2 with en-suite, all with double beds, convenient for large families or groups.

Malin Head is Irelands most northerly point, and here the highest point, "Banba's Crown" is named after an early pre-Christian pagan queen. At the summit, a now derelict lookout tower was built in 1805 by the Admiralty and later used as a Lloyds signal station. Facing the North Atlantic are views of Inishtrahul Sound, and on a clear day, the islands of Jura and Islay off the coast of Scotland are visible. A westerly ramble along the cliffs, will take one to Hell's Hole, a subterranean cavern into which the tide rushes with great force, and a little further on, the picturesque natural arch called Devils Bridge.

Some of the activities include; Hill Walking, Scuba-diving, Surfing, Golf, Fishing, Bird watching - (Where one might hear the sound of the elusive Corncrake). For the golf enthusiast, the well known Ballyliffin Golf Club and course is a half hour drive from here. Other golf courses are located at Greencastle, Redcastle and Buncrana. Sightseeing could be considered in a category of its own for all the natural scenic wonders of this unique area. 

The "Inishowen 100" is a drive which takes the visitor on a roughly circular tour of the Inishowen Peninsula, and gets its name from the distance of 100kms, the approximate distance covered if the whole trip is completed. 

Near Ballyliffin (and the golf course) on the beautiful Isle of Doagh, a visit to the Isle Of Doagh Visitor Centre is to be recommended. This unique outdoor museum tells the story of life in this area going back to the Great Famine in the 1840's. A Famine Village and typical dwellings such as Sod or Turf houses from those times can be seen here. The Irish Famine was at its worst between 1845 to 1848 causing the population to drop from 8 to 4 million through death and emigration.

At Greencastle, one can visit the Maritime museum and planetarium, or take the car ferry across to Magilligan Point over Lough Foyle, and extend the drive on to Port Stewart and Portrush, The Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle or The Bushmills Distillery - (Famous as the oldest whiskey distillery.)

At Culdaff, a fifteen minute drive, a lovely sandy beach with blue flag status awaits. Also in Culdaff is McGrory's & Macs Backroom Bar the well known pub and restaurant, famous not just for its excellent food and service; but also as a premier music venue in Ireland, where performances by international artists have been enjoyed.
Along the western shores of the Inishowen Peninsula, a 45 minute drive brings one to Buncrana, the largest town on the peninsula, where a car ferry connects to Rathmullan and the scenic wonders of western Donegal. Buncrana itself has much to offer, including; shops, restaurants, hotels, many pubs, where traditional Irish music can often be heard, a cinema, banks, a leisure centre with a large heated swimming pool, gym and sauna. One can enjoy a scenic coastal walk on a tarred path from Buncrana, through Ned's Point, Porthaw, and on to Hegarty's Rock and Stragill.
