The Quarries - Ballyliffin

A deceptively spacious cottage whose interior has been extensively renovated. The cottage is ideally suited to the larger family group having 5 bedrooms, a large dining and kitchen area, a comfortable lounge, with bathrooms upstairs and downstairs. The Quarries is bounded by wooden fencing and has a level grassed surface.  Views of the surrounding hills  and countryside can be enjoyed from most rooms of the cottage.

The cottage is within easy walking distance of all the hotels and amenities in Ballyliffin and is less than 2km from the beach. Golfing enthusiasts would especially enjoy the proximity to the very popular Ballyliffin Golf Course. The Quarries would make an excellent base for a touring holiday of the scenic Inishowen Peninsula, with easy road access to the rest of Donegal and Northern Ireland.
