Stunning Location

Situated in a quiet small development just above Downings Harbour, this well appointed self catering property enjoys panoramic views over Sheephaven Bay from the headland at Rosapenna, along the sand dunes of Tramore and right round to the Forest Park at Ards, with Muckish mountain as an imposing backdrop.

From the front door it is a very short stroll to the harbour and the Blue Flag Beach. It is just 1km to the village centre and 1.5km to the two superb championship golf courses at Rosapenna.
