Fanad Beach House

Located  on the north west corner of the Fanad peninsula, our holiday chalet offers  an ideal location for young families and couples looking for a quiet, laidback break. The chalet looks out onto the mile long beach, which slopes gently into Ballyhiernan Bay. Fanad Beach House is the ideal location for your family self catering holiday in Donegal.  

Beaches and Surfing

Within walking distance of Fanad Beach House there are numerous secluded beaches, rocky inlets and coves - ideal playgrounds for children of all ages. And just 100m from the holiday home is the fabulous Ballyhiernan Strand. Ballyhiernan Strand is home to the Adventure One Surfing School. Adventure One is the leading ISA (Irish Surfing Association) approved school on the north coast of Donegal and operates right throughout the holiday season. Ballyhiernan beach is also ideal for swimming, walking, windsurfing and kite flying.   

Sea Fishing 

Sea Fishing is also popular in this part of the Fanad Peninsula. The holiday home is close to Ballyhoorisky Pier and to the remnants of an old pier. Fishing off the rocks close to the dramatic Fanad Lighthouse is well worthwhile.  Trout angling is available at nearby  Kindrum Lough and also at the Meadows Trout Fishery in Rossnakill (11km).  

Walking and Cycling

The narrow winding coastal roads around Fanad Beach House pay their part in ensuring a slower pace of life. These roads are ideal for walking and cycling. Just 7km from the holiday home is the Mulroy Bridge which links the Fanad and Rosguill Peninsulas. With this bridge attractions such as the Atlantic Drive, Rosapenna Golf Club, Meevagh Dive Centre and the Magherabeg Leisure Centre are just 15km from the holiday home  

Golf in the Local Area

For the keen golfer Fanad Beach House is ideally located between two of the finest links courses in the North West of Ireland.  The two superb links courses at Rosapenna Golf Club are 15km away via the Mulroy Bridge and the wonderful Portsalon Golf Club is a 12 km drive along the shores of Lough Swilly. Blue Flag beaches are located beside both golf clubs.  For those less serious players, Eelburn pitch and putt is located 1.6 km away.  

Local Landscape

The northern tip of the Fanad Peninsula is an area of remarkable scenic beauty with narrow winding roads, small lakes, sandy beaches and areas untouched by modern society. Fanad Beach House Cottage is an ideal base to explore this beautiful part of Donegal.
