Rye Cottages  Ballyliffin: Two identical newly built cottages, back to back, one facing east, the other west.  Because both cottages have the same features and facilities, we are describing and showing only one for brevity. (- The west facing one, shown here.) Right in the heart of Ballyliffin, close to all the hotels, a 3 minute drive from the golf club and a 10 minute walk from the beach; what could be more convenient!

The two identical cottages are situated right in the heart of Ballyliffin, back to back; a mirror image of each other. 

The east facing cottage looks onto the road between Clonmany and Carndonagh, that leads to the Golf Course, while the west facing cottage has a larger frontage with the quieter Shore Road  in front of it. Parking for both cottages will be on the west cottage grounds. A paved pathway around the complex allows external access between the cottages.

Each cottage has three upstairs bedrooms to sleep six. (including a sleeper couch). There are two en-suites, a main bathroom and a separate toilet off the utility room. The kitchen is fully equipped, and fitted with modern units, and includes a dining area. The lounge has comfortable leather upholstered seating, a TV with free-view satellite reception, and a traditional open fireplace. Newly built, modern construction, and fully insulated with double glazing , ensures that the cottages are warm in the winter months. Oil-fired central heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included.

Ballyliffin is a small village on the road between the towns of Clonmany and Carndonagh. Perhaps the single-most cause of its rapid growth has been due to the popularity of its main attraction, which is the Ballyliffin Golf Club.

Formally established in 1947, the club has grown from strength to strength; with the original club in the Strand Hotel, members later had their own premises in a prefabricated structure. The new club building was completed in 1995.  Today the club is considered to be one of the "premier" golf courses in Ireland. One of its unique features is the two links courses; the old links, and the new "Glashedy" links. Golf enthusiasts will be pleased to know that Inishowen also has courses at Redcastle, Greencastle and Buncrana.

Ballyliffin has five hotels, and most of them are within walking distance of the cottages; - very convenient if you fancy a meal in one of the restaurants, or a drink in the hotel bar. The golf club also has good catering facilities. If you would prefer the environment of the traditional Irish public house, a short drive down the road to Clonmany, will give you a choice of 8 pubs: Many of them will have traditional Irish music performed live on different nights of the week.

Just a little further, about 15-20 min. drive will bring you to Culdaff, where you can visit McGrorys; a unique establishment, famous for it's live music shows, good food and great craíc!

The Isle of Doagh is the small peninsula separating Trawbraega Bay from the Atlantic. It is here where the golf course is situated, but also The Famine Village; a unique outdoor museum exhibiting displays of structures, models and tableaux depicting Ireland as it was in the 19th century, particularly during the great famine, when so many died or emigrated. The centre is well worth a visit, and is especially appealing to children and the young at heart, when it transforms into "Santa's Lapland" in Nov-Dec. - Early booking for this event is essential to avoid disappointment.

Apart from golf, other activities include;
Hill Walking or Rambling, Horse riding and Pony Trekking, Cycling, Bird Watching, and many water-sports; including Swimming, Sub-Aqua Diving, Surfing (from Pollan Beach), Sailing, Fishing etc.

The scenic natural beauty of the area is another reason why visitors are attracted to Inishowen: - a tour of the peninsula, in the comfort of your own car, by way of the route known as the "Inishowen 100" will ensure that you will get to see much of the breathtakingly spectacular scenery that is on offer.
