This delightful 'Home from Home' is just one mile from Culdaff's spectacular Blue Flag beach, and site within the confines of Culdaff village, with views out to the river estuary and sand dunes beyond. The cottage has five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a lovely comfortable living space with double doors leading on to a large open plan kitchen and dining area. From there, patio doors lead onto a lovely private garden with an outdoor seating/dining area with barbeque provided.
A five minute walk takes you to the centre of the village for the morning paper and a lovely coffee and tray bake at Cul a Ti. Or get your steps in before breakfast, walking out to the beach along the river estuary and looping back along the footpath into the village, a beautiful 2 mile walk in all. If you're an early bird you'll catch the sun rising over the beach. Spectacular! Or head to Bunagee Pier and see the days catch being landed. Or catch Amazing Grace set sail on her daily dolphin watching excursions. Culdaff is charming. Make sure to pop into the local pubs for a bit of craic. McGuinness' Bar and The Culdaff Arms offer live music throughout summer. McGrorys, established in 1924, is a family run pub/restaurant, serving great food, and hosts traditional Irish music sessions a couple of times a week in summer, or catch a live band in the Backroom. Look out for Jenny's Pop Up bakery during summer, the cupcakes are 'yummy'!
Culdaff lies in the northern part of the Inishowen peninsula, - a unique, scenic microcosm of all that Ireland has to offer. The Inishowen Peninsula (The Isle of Owen) is bounded by the Atlantic ocean in the north, Lough-Swilly to the west and Lough Foyle in the east, with the historical city of Derry at its south eastern tip. The peninsula is famous for its spectacular scenic drive, the Inishowen 100, recently voted "Ireland's most breathtaking coastal drive". Of the 159 Discovery Points along the Wild Atlantic Way, 39 are in County Donegal. Of these, 10 are situated along the Inishowen Peninsula highlighting the impressive beauty and unique character of the area. Discovery Points inlcude Inch Island, Lisfanon Beach, Dunree Head, Mamore Gap, Pollan Bay, Malin Head, Culdaff, Kinnagoe Bay, Inishowen Head and Magilligan Point Viewpoint.

Spent another great week in Carabay, Culdaff. It's only been our fourth time! I just wanted to say thank you to Sharon. The house as usual was perfect for our stay with everything we needed. The fully equipped kitchen was not over utilized as we had the fantastic McGrory’s Hotel just a short walk from the house. We loved their seafood specials each evening on their outside terrace. Culdaff is a friendly & welcoming village with two great pubs – Culdaff Arms & McGuinness’s. The 4 hour trip from Dublin is well worth it, as we know we will have the comforts of home at Bunagee Cottage.
