Surrounding Area

The Meadows Trout Fishery is located in nearby Rosnakill. This two acre stream-fed fishery opened a few years ago and now offers the opportunity for anglers to enjoy some first rate, and perhaps unique, fishing for rainbow trout within sight of the sea. Fishing is also available at Kindrum lake 4 km away (permits required)

The seaside village of Portsalon is just over 5 km from the holiday home This charming resort has a fabulous blue flag beach and a top class golf course. At the village harbour there is a water sports centre where kayaks, pedal boats, wetsuits and boogie boards can be hired. Further north along the peninsula from the holiday home there are a number of secluded beaches including Sessiagh and Ballyhoorisky.

The beautiful Ballyhiernan Bay is on the northern coast of the Fanad Peninsula. A beautiful unspoilt sandy beach skirts this bay. This beach is the location of the Adventure One Surf School  - the leading ISA (Irish Surfing Association) approved school on the north coast of Donegal.

The cottage is 15 minutes from the new Mulroy Bridge. This bridge link the Fanad and Rosguill Peninsulas and will make it much easier for visitors to the holiday home to access attractions such as Rosapenna Golf Club, the Atlantic Drive, Ards Forest Park and the spectacular Horn Head Peninsula.
