Cluain Mor House - Portsalon

Cluain Mor House is a 5 bedroom house with a wonderful location in the popular family seaside resort of Portsalon on the Fanad Peninsula in North Donegal. The holiday home is literally across the road from Portsalon Golf Club and Blue Flag beach and just a few minutes walk from the quaint harbour.

Portsalon Blue Flag Beach on your Doorstep

Portsalon Beach is generally regarded as one of the finest beaches in Ireland. It stretches all the way from the harbour to the foot of Knockalla Mountain.  It is popular with swimmers, kayakers, wind surfers and is perfect for walking. Surfing takes place at the Knockalla end. At the harbour end there is a sheltered sandy cove overlooked by the renowned Sarah's bar and restaurant. Also at the harbour is a water sports centre with everything from buckets and spades to kayak hire.

Portsalon Golf Club - A Hidden Gem

The holiday home is ideally situated for the keen golfer. The clubhouse of Portsalon Golf Club is literally a 2 minute walk from the front door. This superb 18 hole links course remains one of Irish golf’s best kept secrets. Not only is Portsalon a magnificent test of golf, its setting is truly breathtaking. The golden sands along Ballymastocker Bay and the majesty of Lough Swilly and the Inishowen Hills beyond provide the backdrop for almost 7000 yards that will enthrall and challenge any golfer. 

The Fanad Peninsula

Portsalon itself is centrally situated on the Fanad Peninsula making it an ideal base to explore this beautiful part of Ireland. It also lies along the route of the Wild Atlantic Way - Irelands long distance driving route. The iconic Fanad Head Lighthouse is a Signature Point on this route and is just over 11km from the holiday home.
