Cliff Lodge - Rossnowlgh

Cliff Lodge is a cosy gem nestled on the panoramic seaside cliffs above the beach and surfing resort of Rossnowlagh. This beautiful newly renovated 2 bedroom lodge is located in a secluded area on its own private grounds. The interior décor curated by the owners compliments the surroundings perfectly with beach coloured palette and motifs.

The bedrooms are cosy and drawn out in a similar vein, offering lots of natural light with majestic skies and the endless panoramic views of the Atlantic.

Wild Atlantic Way

Cliff Lodge is located in the popular beach and surfing community of Rossnowlagh, Co. Donegal.  All the local amenities are within walking distance with a quiet creek and beach being a very short distance away. The area forms part of the dramatic "Wild Atlantic Way" scenic driving route which weaves along the whole western coast of Ireland.

Beautiful Coastal Location

The accommodation is perched on a cliff edge giving dramatic views and sounds of the Atlantic below.  A short walk enables access to a secluded little cove with a small beach suitable for families and couples while the popular 2km Rossnowlagh Beach is only a 7-8 minute walk away (800m).

Both the well-know and award winning Smugglers Creek Bar and Restaurant and the stylish Gaslight Pub and Restaurant are only a 3-4 minute walk away (400m), while the well-renowned Franciscan Friary with its tranquil gardens and walks is also within a 6-7 minute walk (700m) of the this beautiful holiday rental.
