Atlantic View - Hillside of Brinlack

Atlantic View is a stunning adult-only retreat, located near Derrybeg on the actual famous Wild Atlantic Way. The cottage sits on the hillside with panoramic sea view overlooking several islands such as Gola and Arranmore islands. The cottage is an old traditional Donegal home with a modern ocean room, where you can sit and watch the sunset. The house is south facing and looks southwards towards Donegal airport, which is twenty fives minutes away.

Please Note

This is a no-smoking cottage and is not suitable for children - no pets allowed

West Coast Location

The cottage is situated on the R257 road five minutes from Derrybeg directly behind the old Donegal Copper Craft Heritage building - area code F92 W3X6. Five minutes walk to the local shop and fifteen minutes walk to the famous Teach Jacks pub / restaurant  / live music. Beaches within walking distance. Derrybeg and Bunbeg harbours are nearby, along with many other local attractions. Errigal mountain can be seen from the cottage. A car is desirable.

Along the Wild Atlantic Way

The holiday home is an ideal base to explore the beautiful coastline of North West Donegal.  Errigal and the Derryveagh mountains are only 15 minutes drive away. The Dunlewey Lakeside Centre is a similar distance by car at the foot of Errigal mountain and boasts an exciting historical display of local crafts, trips on the lake and play facilities for children.

The scenic Gweedore 9-hole Golf Club is only a short drive from the door of the holiday cottage and fishing in the local lakes and rivers is a popular activity. There are regular ferries to Gola Island during the holiday season.
