Dooey Hill House

Dooey Hill House is a modern 4-bedroom wifi-equipped holiday home located on the Rosguill Peninsula 4km north of the popular seaside resort of Downings. From its elevated site, the holiday home enjoys breathtaking views over the Atlantic Drive towards the ocean and is only a short walk away from the beautiful, secluded Dooey beach.

Surrounding Area

The holiday home is situated along the route of the renowned Atlantic Drive – a truly spectacular coastal drive around the rugged Rosguill Peninsula. To drive or walk along this wonderful coast road is to feel life's difficulties slipping away. The official start of the road is in Downings village. It winds its way north along the shores of Mulroy Bay towards Melmore Head - past the renowned Singing Pub and numerous unspoilt beaches and inlets. All along this part of the drive there are dramatic views of the Fanad Peninsula on the other side of the Bay – including some breathtaking views of the new Mulroy Bridge that links the Fanad and Rosguill Peninsulas.

The natural landscape of the Rosguill Peninsula also provides the basis for many of the activities that the visitor can enjoy - including windsurfing, kite surfing, deep sea diving, sea angling and hill walking. The holiday home is a 7-minute drive from the centre of Downings village. Downings is a very popular tourist resort and fishing port with lively pubs and nightlife. The magnificent sand hills between Downings and nearby Carrigart are the setting for the two superb golf links at Rosapenna - the Sandy Hills course is now ranked No 17 in Ireland (Golf Digest)
