Carmen Cottage - Property Details

Area description

The village of Portsalon itself is the perfect spot for a relaxing holiday break. This picturesque village boasts one of the country’s finest beaches. It also has one of the finest golf links courses in the North West of Ireland. Indeed Portsalon Golf Club in now rated in the top 50 golf courses in Ireland. At the quaint village harbour there is a water sports centre where kayaks, pedal boats, wetsuits and boogie boards can be hired.

The Fanad Peninsula:

Portsalon is located on the Fanad Peninsula. This beautiful peninsula stretches north from the village of Milford via Kerrykeel to Fanad Head and back down to the heritage village of Ramelton via Rathmullan. It contains numerous bays, glorious beaches, rugged mountains, rolling hills and numerous small lakes.

Ballyhiernan Bay is less than 10km from the holiday home. 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.

A new bridge over Mulroy Bay opened in May 2009. This bridge links the Fanad and Rosguill Peninsulas and makes it much easier for visitors to the holiday home to access attractions such as the Atlantic Drive, Ards Forest Park and spectacular Horn Head. Indeed the bridge, in the conjunction with the Rathmullan to Buncrana car ferry, will mean that the holiday home is centrally located to play the 3 top rated golf links in North Donegal - Portsalon, Rosapenna and BallyliffIn.
