Peaceful location,Superb sea views,on the 'Wild Atlantic Way'! ...With internet.

Ard na nOilean (height overlooking Islands) – No doubt you are looking for your dream holiday home. Then look no further - This house is situated in quite unique surroundings. The landward sides of the house are enclosed by rock-faces, with the remainder open to the sea . A path from the garden leads directly to the strand. The perfect location for painters, writers, photographers or simply people who appreciate nature at its finest!. Despite the cottage's sheltered location Annagry village is for your evenings entertainment, nothing more than a short stroll away.
- I have recently completed the construction of an elevated Summerhouse featuring panoramic and breathtaking views of Annagry village and Carrickfinn beach in the distance.



The village is only a 8minute walk away and has three pubs and two restaurants. One of which is the renowned Killindarragh House “Danny Minnie´s”. Some of the regions most famous artists, such as Clannad, Enya and Altan began their careers playing in the traditional pubs, such as Leo's, which define the area.

The village has among other services a small supermarket. Chemist, post office, hairdressers and two Take-aways
Activities: Golf, Cuirt Island, Gweedore, Falcarragh, Portnoo, Dunfanaghy - all courses within a radius of 50 km; Horse Riding; Fishing, deep sea, river and lake - info on permits available; Hill walking and climbing in the Poison Glen and Errigal; Walking on the countless miles of unspoiled beaches; Surfing and diving schools in the Dungloe area; Day trips to Tory and Gola Islands from Bunbeg Harbour. To simply spend a day driving around this area of Donegal is an experience, you will never forget.
Cycling has in recent years become very popular with the locals and the cycling paths are continually being improved.Some routes have absolutely stunning scenery and will challenge your fitness.

- Further information regarding sightseeing and day trips can be found in the cottage.

Annagry Lovely area

Enjoyed staying in Annagry, the house was very centrally located and easy to get around Donegal. Lots of lovely beaches nearby and you can watch the planes coming and going. The house was very comfortable, had an issue with unwashed floors and dust when we arrived but a mop and duster sorted out both. Would return to the area again, lots of places to eat, we had a very relaxing time away.

Superb base to discover beautiful Donegal

Bright spacious house yet cosy and comfortable. We immediately felt at home here. The outside space is wonderful and especially so with the new sun room and terrace with sea views. It was so nice to come back to this house after a day exploring all that Donegal has to offer. We had everything we needed.

Everything you’d want from remote Ireland

This place was amazing .. great view and quiet. Exactly what we were looking for. It was a short walk to the village and the locals were so nice. We felt very safe with our 8 yearold there. Beautiful drives to the wild Atlantic way, the national park and Derry. The property manager is very responsive and we fully enjoyed this stay to the point where I don’t want to ruin this town with a review.

Wedding party

We stayed here for a week with our grown up family on the occasion of our daughter’s wedding. It was a great secluded location but a ten minute walk from the main town area. The bridal party got ready here on the morning of the wedding and with 3 bathrooms there was plenty of room for everyone. I would definitely recommend this house for a relaxing holiday.

We had the most relaxing stay at this property. Beaches are nearby and we spent everyday with our five year old and the dog exploring them, even a beach at the end of the grassy pathway at the bottom of the garden. The house is warm and welcoming. Plenty of room. We’ll be back!
