Less than a mile inland from the sandy shores of the Fanad Peninsula, this tranquil holiday home offers a dream coastal retreat for large families and groups of friends visiting County Donegal. The golden sands of Portsalon Beach (1 mile), otherwise known as Ballymastocker Beach, provide the perfect setting for a traditional beach day, where you can enjoy fantastic views towards the Inishowen Peninsula. Lovers of the outdoors can enjoy the many coastal walks from the doorstep, including trails along the famous Wild Atlantic Way, one of the longest coastal routes in the world. Or slightly further afield, hop in the car to discover Ballyhiernan Bay (7 miles), Fanad Head Lighthouse (8 miles), and Glenveagh National Park (20 miles).

Set back from the road along the driveaway, promising fantastic views on arrival, this beautiful home has been finished to a high standard, with plenty of thoughtful touches to create a stylish and comfortable base. Upon entering the reverse-level property, head upstairs to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which forms the social heart of the home. Spread across the entire first floor with country and sea views all around, this space features a fully equipped kitchen where you can rustle up group feasts, to be enjoyed at the stylish dining table that sits beneath the window. The open fire, comfortable seating and large TV in the lounge create the ideal spot to kick back and relax after a day exploring the region. When day turns to night, head downstairs to find the cosy bedrooms that await; two double rooms, one with an en-suite shower room, plus a triple room that features a single bunk over a double bed. Completing this floor is a well-appointed family shower room, ensuring convenience for all.

Outside, a lawned garden wraps around the property, while a gravel terrace with an outdoor table and chairs offers the ideal spot to dine alfresco whilst enjoying the magnificent coastal views.

We really enjoyed our first time at this accommodation, very clean, everything you would need, the gas cooking stove was a nice surprise. Close to the beach and other tourist attractions. Shop and restaurant were close. The ripple restaurant was nice too. We definitely going back to this accommodation
