Downings<\/a> is a lovely seaside village located amid the spectacular scenery of north Donegal. The village is blessed with superb beaches and has fine views across Sheephaven Bay to the Ards peninsula (with the remains of Ard House on the point of the peninsula) and the distant flat-topped peak of Muckish.<\/p>\n It has a long standing tradition of tweed making and fishing. Downings<\/a> is traditionally a Irish speaking area where you are likely to hear Irish spoken but English is the language generally in use. Sheephaven Bay is ideal for water sports and deep sea angling. The Rosapenna Championship Links Golf Course<\/a> is just half a mile from the village. This small peninsula area jutting out into the Atlantic also has interesting walks and drives.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.65″ background_position_1=”top_left” background_repeat_1=”no-repeat” background_position_2=”top_left” background_repeat_2=”no-repeat” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|||” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Holiday Home 1″ _builder_version=”3.0.75″ title=”Rosapenna View” url=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/rosapennaview” url_new_window=”off” use_icon=”off” image=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Rosapenna-View-Downings.jpg” use_circle=”off” use_circle_border=”off” icon_placement=”top” use_icon_font_size=”off” background_layout=”light” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” header_font_size=”40″ body_line_height=”1.4em” border_color=”#adadad” background_color_gradient_start=”rgba(0,0,0,0.54)” background_color_gradient_end=”rgba(0,0,0,0.23)” background_color=”#f6f6f6″ custom_padding=”10px|10px|30px|10px” alt=”Rosapenna View” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_phone=”30″ custom_padding_tablet=”10px|5px|30px|5px” custom_padding_phone=”10px|10px|20px|10px” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_text_color=”#0c71c3″ max_width_tablet=”50px”]<\/p>\n Rosapenna\u00a0 View is a luxurious modern holiday home situated in a quiet cul de sac that lies just off the main road between Rosapenna and Downings Village<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Holiday Home 2″ _builder_version=”3.0.75″ title=”Carraig Donn” url=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/carraig-donn” url_new_window=”off” use_icon=”off” image=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Carraig-Donn-Downings-Donegal.jpg” use_circle=”off” use_circle_border=”off” icon_placement=”top” use_icon_font_size=”off” background_layout=”light” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” header_font_size=”40″ body_line_height=”1.4em” border_color=”#adadad” background_color_gradient_start=”rgba(0,0,0,0.54)” background_color_gradient_end=”rgba(0,0,0,0.23)” background_color=”#f6f6f6″ custom_padding=”10px|10px|30px|10px” header_font_size_phone=”30″ header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding_phone=”10px|10px|20px|10px” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_text_color=”#0c71c3″ alt=”Carraig Donn Holiday Home” max_width_tablet=”50px”]<\/p>\n Carraig Donn is a superb modern 4 bedroom holiday home located just over a kilometre outside the popular beach and golf resort of Downings on the beautiful Rosguill Peninsula.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_video _builder_version=”3.0.76″ src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/232818417″ image_src=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Downings-Donegal.jpg” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_button admin_label=”Button – View Holiday Homes in town-name (Blue Button)” url_new_window=”off” button_text=”View More Holiday Homes in Downings” button_alignment=”center” background_layout=”dark” custom_button=”on” button_bg_color=”#3b5998″ button_letter_spacing=”0″ button_icon_placement=”right” button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″ custom_css_main_element=”width: 100%;||padding-top: 20px;||padding-bottom: 20px;” button_url=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/towns\/holiday-cottage-downings.php” button_text_size=”26″ saved_tabs=”all” _builder_version=”3.0.75″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.75″ custom_padding=”0px|||”][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.75″ background_layout=”light” border_style=”solid” module_alignment=”left”]<\/p>\n The rugged landscape of the Rosguil Peninsula also provides the basis for many activities for tourists to enjoy including miles of golden sandy beaches and Water sports such as Water Skiing, Wakeboarding, Windsurfing, Deep Sea Diving, Sea angling & Boat charters.
