The Lime Kiln is a property of unsurpassed elegance set in a magnificent
location amid the lush green countryside of Co. Donegal, Ireland.
Available for private rental, the Lime kiln is a modern architecturally
designed holiday home located in the popular family holiday resort of
Portnablagh. Beautifully
converted from a 19th century Lime Kiln, this
property is unique and offers guests the opportunity to enjoy luxury,
privacy and tranquility in a beautiful setting.
The Lime Kiln dates back over 150 years.
Rescued from potential demolition, the building has been utterly
transformed. A beautiful blend of old, new and is cleverly eco-
friendly.
When entering this stone beauty you immediately feel the spacious, open
yet cozy atmosphere of a well designed home. A home designed for a
family who wants to be close, yet have areas for relaxing and
entertaining. The dramatic entry with high ceilings leads into the
kitchen with traditional range and kitchen island with modern
appliances. The entrance leads upstairs to a mezzanine floor, with
family sitting room and outdoor veranda with views of the ocean beyond.
A unique and special feature is the dramatic ground floor cave dining
room and cosy fireside sitting room, with its vaulted ceilings and
natural stone walls. These rooms are built onto the hillside and one
wall is exposed to show off the natural rock face. A traditional stove
is set into a 15 ft fireplace. One easy flick of a switch turns on
instant heat for a eco friendly willow pellet burning fire. Homely and cozy in
an instant!
The bedrooms are newly built adjoining the old Lime Kiln, however the
traditional stone slab flooring
(underfloor heating)
gives a feeling of continuity and flow
from the cave though the main level of the building. Cleverly the under
floor heating gives a toasty underfoot feel. Two large double bedrooms,
one with en suite shower, the other has a separate bathroom with walk in
shower. Both bedrooms are light and spacious and have patio doors
leading to the outdoor courtyard.
On request the spacious mezzanine floor can be set up with two single
beds for visiting guests. We hope that you will enjoy this stunning home
and surrounding area.
Portnablagh, Co.
Donegal
The Lime Kiln is located in the seaside village Portnablagh with its
small beach and fishing harbour only 10 mins walk from the property.
From the shoreline at the harbour you look out over the broad expanse of
Sheephaven Bay towards to imposing cliffs of Horn Head. The Atlantic
waters are ideal for sea fishing and boats can be chartered from the
harbour. For fresh water fishing, the beautiful
Sessiah Lake is located
right beside The Lime Kiln - you can fish here or just take a leisurely
walk along its shores.
The main beach is at the near by village of Dunfanaghy, it is the golden
Killahoey Strand and a brief walk away is the secluded picturesque Tranmore Strand. The equally splendid beaches of Marble Hill, Falcarragh
and Ards are a brief drive away and all are excellent for both family
and avid water sports enthusiasts alike – sea kayaking, wind surfing and
diving being very popular in the region. |
