'The Lodge' is a
modern, compact 'cabin' style cottage
presenting a wood finished 'clap board' style exterior. It is situated
at the rear of the property, behind the main house, snugly sheltered
close to the side of the hill.
The property is located in a quiet and peaceful location at
Port Ronan;
just above a small fishing pier, in an area known as West Town, on the
south side of the small peninsula that forms Ireland's most northerly
point at Malin Head.
A welcoming pair of patio doors invites one in to the main
open plan
living space on the ground floor, which has a fitted kitchen, lounge and
dining area. There is a single upstairs bedroom with two double beds to
sleep up to four, and a shower room.
The cottage has modern fixtures and
fittings, is insulated and has oil fired central heating, and a TV, DVD,
and CD/radio are included. It would be suitable for individuals,
couples, or a small family. Pets are welcome.
The front of the cottage has a sheltered gravelled parking and patio
area, and there is a water feature created around a natural stream
flowing down the hill.
'Lodgers' will also have access to a large decked patio area
attached to
the main house, from where they will be able to enjoy the most fabulous
coastal views and breathtaking scenery. A view that constantly changes
with the weather and light.
The view looks south across a body of water called
White Strand Bay,
which is just below and to the left, the mouth of Trawbreaga Bay,
further out to the east, and Pollan Bay, which lies behind a prominent
rock called Glashedy Island. The impressive backdrop is formed by the
hills of the Inishowen Peninsula.
There is a small fishing pier just below the cottage, and to the left a
beach, so bathers need not go far for a swim. Other
beaches in the area
include; two beaches at Malin Head called Sandport and
Portmore, and a
very scenic pebble beach south of Port Caman, which lies just north of
a coastal rock formation known as 'The Five Fingers'.
This is a perfect secluded retreat for artists and landscape
photographers, who will be inspired by the views. Hill walkers will be
thrilled by the natural beauty of the surroundings and the spectacular
coastal walks.
The Lodge is close to the Sandrock Holiday Hostel, and is only a four
minute drive from the main settlement at Malin Head.
Farren's Bar is Irelands most northerly pub, where you can relax and
enjoy the 'craic' and 'the finest pint in Ireland'. Entertainment
is provided during the summer months. Also try the
Crossroads Inn and
The Seaview Tavern, which has a good restaurant.
The more energetic can indulge in a a variety of activities, including;
Hill walking, Swimming, Deep sea diving, Fishing, Surfing, Sailing,
Cycling, or just sight seeing, whether on foot or by car. Golf can be
played at Ballyliffin, with its famous two links course; also at
Greencastle, Redcastle, Buncrana and in Derry City. |
