The blue-flag beaches of Mullaghmore, Bundoran, and Rossnowlagh are nearby. Sligo and Donegal towns are both within a 30-minute drive.

'Yeats' Country', ancient Irish archaelogical sites and Donegal Castle are all only a short distance away.

The area offers sailing, diving, coarse fishing and horse riding facilities. Salmon swim within metres of the houses, on their way to their traditional spawning grounds.

Walk, fish from the garden, play golf on your choice of 3 courses, surf the Atlantic swells, go horse riding, or be content to relax, watch the dolphins in the surf and enjoy your vacation in Ireland.

Ireland's west coast has some of Europe's best surf. Storms in the Atlantic Ocean produce regular swells which reach Ireland's west coast unhindered. Donegal's long and varied coast provides numerous reef and beach breaks.
