A little further afield you have beautiful and varied coastal landscapes in such areas as Bloody Foreland, Horn Head, the Rosses and the Fanad Peninsula - the latter now a short drive away via the new Mulroy Bridge. Moving inland you have the majestic and unspoilt Donegal Highlands where the magnificent Glenveagh National Park is located. The Rathmullan to Buncrana car ferry service opens up the Inishowen Peninsula for touring.

Local Activities

The natural landscape of the Rosguil Peninsula provides the basis for many of the activities that the visitor can enjoy. The peninsula has an abundance of golden sandy beaches including the famous “Tra na Rossan” beach which is a 5-minute drive from the cottage.

There is also horse riding, tennis and hill walking. Within a short drive of the cottage is the scenic Ards Forest Park.

For the golf enthusiast the cottage offers a superb base to play some of the great links courses of North Donegal. A 5-minute drive brings you to two superb championship golf links at Rosapenna - Sandy Hills Course and the Old Tom Morris Course. In nearby Carrigart the existing St Patrick's Course is being redesigned by Jack Nicklaus. Within half an hours drive there are two more excellent courses – Portsalon and Dunfanaghy. The Rathmullan to Buncrana car ferry service brings the magnificent courses in Ballyliffin within easier reach.
