An elevated deck at the rear of the cottage permits one (in good weather) to enjoy the surroundings, with panoramic views looking north towards Malin Head.

The cottage is situated on a small coastal plain, surrounded by the Atlantic to the west and north, and by the peaks of Raghtin-More to the south and east. Just a little to the north west is Dunaff Head, the eastern promontory marking the entrance to Lough Swilly. (The western side is called Fanad Head.)

Local beaches include Lenan Bay, Rockstown Harbour, Tullagh Bay and Pollan Beach, which is closer to Ballyliffin. There are many local scenic attractions in the area, and we are not far off the route forming part of the "Inishowen 100" scenic drive; with some breathtakingly spectacular views from a pass cutting through the hills known as the Mamore Gap

 

The Rusty Nail

The picturesque village of Clonmany is only 3.7 miles away. On the way there, you will see the Pub known as The Rusty Nail. It is the name of a cocktail, but is also reputed to have been named after a flame haired owner of the 1930's. Stop for a drink, or a meal, with hot, tasty food including many varieties of local sea-food: - And you are always guaranteed good craíc!

Closer to Clonmany, do not miss the chance to visit the enchanting Glenevin Waterfall. It is situated in Butlers Glen; but you will have to park your car just off the road, and prepare for a pleasant walk to get there. Perhaps on your return, you may want to stop at Glen House for refreshments, or a snack before resuming your drive.

There are eight pubs in Clonmany, and in nearby Ballyliffin, there are five hotels, as well as catering facilities at the golf club; - so there is a fair choice of local establishments for wining and dining!

Golfers will happy to know that they are only a fifteen minute drive away from the famous Ballyliffin Golf Club, with its two links courses.
In the same area, on the Isle of Doagh, a visit to the "Famine Village" or Doagh Island Visitor Centre is highly recommended.

By travelling south over the Mamore Gap, then turning right (west) at the bottom of the pass, you will be taken to a beautiful horseshoe bay, called Crummies bay, with a lovely sheltered sandy beach area. Just a little further is Fort Dunree, where you can visit a museum depicting the early naval defences around the Lough, and view some of the big naval guns still on display after the fort was "de-commissioned".
