Situated at the Dunailainn complex in Culdaff, this
lovely detached cottage has all you will need to make your stay
comfortable and pleasant, and make you want to return again. Four
bedrooms to sleep eight, two en-suites and a main bathroom; a fully
fitted kitchen, a utility room and a dining area. The lounge has a
traditional open fireplace and there is also a conservatory at the rear
of the house. Oil fired central heating and double glazed windows
throughout, ensure warmth and comfort in the cooler months.
A five minute walk will get you to the village green; - the centre of
Culdaff. On the way, you will pass McGrory's, a long founded, and very
popular establishment consisting of a hotel, restaurant and two pubs; -
the front bar and the back room bar. The famous backroom bar is a
specially built music venue with built in audio/visual facilities. It
attracts musicians and performers from all over the world, who include
it on their itinerary, when touring Ireland.
McGrory's is known for its fine food, good service and great craic! -
not to be missed if you are in the area.
A mile north of the village is a beautiful sandy "blue flag" beach,
which is also known for good surfing. (Bottom picture.) At the western
end of the beach is a picturesque little fishing harbour, sheltered by
Bunagee Pier, a popular spot for anglers. At the eastern side of the
beach, next to the car park, is a well equipped children's play area.
A short drive west, through Malin town, follow the road along the edge
of Trawbreaga Bay, and head north-west until you get to Malin Head, you
will have arrived at Irelands most northerly point. Spectacular
panoramic views all around, especially looking south toward Inishowen.
From Culdaff, a twenty minute drive will get you to Moville, along Inishowen's eastern shore, where it meets Lough Foyle. Turn left and
head up the coast to Greencastle, where one can visit a planetarium, a
maritime museum, and see the ruins of an old castle. At the harbour, you
will be able to take a short ferry trip across the Foyle to Magilligan's
Point, bringing you conveniently into Northern Ireland. (You will have
avoided the long trip around the lough via Derry.)
From here, one can
continue the drive along the coast, visiting charming Port Stewart, Port
rush, and further on past Dunluce Castle; perched on the edge of a
coastal cliff, - to the town of Bushmills, home of the oldest whiskey
distillery with its famous Bushmills label.
You may also decide to visit The Giants Causeway, which is five minutes
drive away; - one of the worlds natural wonders!
Back to Culdaff and Inishowen; we must not neglect to mention a visit to
The Isle of Doagh Visitor Centre, also known as the Famine Village, a
popular outdoor museum displaying structures and models depicting
Ireland during the great famine of the 1840's. It also provides a venue
for traditional musicians and dancers during the summer months, and in
December transforms into magical Santa's Lapland!
At Ballyliffin a little further on, the golf enthusiast will be thrilled
to have the pleasure of being able to play at the famous two links
Ballyliffin Golf Course. |
