Burtonport is a compact fishing village nestled on the northwest coast of Ireland with a population, in the local vicinity, of about 1100 people. The village acquired its name from a wealthy English landowner of the time, Lord Burton Conynham. He established a jetty and a few other amenities at the location and called it “Burton’s Port”, hence the name “Burtonport”.<\/p>\n
There are a large number of islands visible off the coastline including Rutland, Arranmore<\/a> and Innishfree. Arranmore, which is 3 miles (5 km) offshore, is the largest of these islands with a population of about 800 people and has a daily ferry service to and from the island from Burtonport<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.63″ custom_padding=”0px||0px|”][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Holiday Home 1″ _builder_version=”3.0.63″ title=”Inishcoo House” url=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/inishcoo” url_new_window=”off” use_icon=”off” image=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Inishcoo.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=”Inishcoo House” 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″ font_icon=”%%28%%”]<\/p>\n Inishcoo House is a large, beautifully restored 18th century coastguard house standing alone on a magical uninhabited island just 5 minutes boat ride from the historic fishing village of Burtonport on the mainland<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_blurb admin_label=”Holiday Home 2″ _builder_version=”3.0.63″ title=”Teachin Roise” url=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/teachinroise” url_new_window=”off” use_icon=”off” image=”http:\/\/www.donegalcottageholidays.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Teachin-Roise.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″]<\/p>\n This tastefully restored traditional Irish cottage is located in the lakeland area just east of the fishing port of Burtonport.
