Cul an Chnoic - Donegal Town

Cul an Chnoic, Murvagh, Donegal Town was built in 1999 and is fully equipped for a very comfortable and enjoyable holiday. Situated on the side of a hill in a remote and beautiful area the house enjoys spectacular views over Murvagh Beach and Donegal Bay towards Mount Charles in the distance. The wildflower garden is complemented by comfortable patio areas with garden furniture and a barbeque.

Ideal Touring Base

The house is ideally situated to enjoy the best of County Donegal. Only minutes from Donegal Town, with pleasant shops and plenty of cafes and restaurants plus you can take a trip on the waterbus round the outlying islands and watch for seals. Or head south to Ballyshannon (home of Donegal China), with its waterworld leisure centre, or perhaps stop off at Rossnowlagh or Bundoran beaches. Within a half hours drive you also have the wonderful ‘Yeats Country’ in Sligo and the majestic Fermanagh Lakelands.

For golfer, the main course at Murvagh is less than one mile from the house, and there is plenty of fishing for the enthusiast.

We truly hope you decide to give us a try! May we suggest you book early as prime booking dates fill quickly.
