Drumrooske - town centre

Drumrooske is close to the heart of the historic town of Donegal and provides an ideal base for your family holiday in County Donegal.
The town itself is famous for being the former home to the O'Donnell Clan, who played a pivotal role in Irish history. From the 15th to the 17th century, they provided the main opposition to the colonisation of Ireland by England. Here you'll find Donegal Castle, on the banks of the River Eske and the remains of a Franciscan abbey which dates back to the 15th century on the Southern shore of the Bay. The Annals of the Four Masters are traditionally thought to have been started in the abbey in the early 17th century. There are many sandy beaches in the area boasting good surfing conditions. Donegal Town is also used as a base for hill-walking in the nearby Bluestack Mountains.
