Dunfanaghy Holiday House

With a superb location this 4BR dormer style house on the edge of the village and set in a small private development of 8 houses will offer you all the facilities of home. With direct access to the beach you can literally walk to golf/shops/pubs/hotels in less than 5 mins. Alternatively, you can use it as a base to explore the rich heritage, history and culture of the North West with visitor attractions ranging from a former workhouse centre, national parks, amazing walks, deserted beaches, museums and castles to traditional music sessions. The list goes on. We love it and genuinely believe you will too.

Dunfanaghy

The village of Dunfanaghy and the surrounding area is very popular with visitors who return each year to relax and enjoy the scenic beauty of this wonderful part of Donegal. The village is surrounded by glorious coastal and mountain scenery. Port-na-Blagh, a mile away, is also a family holiday centre and Marble Hill nearby, overlooks a safe long strand.

Horn Head

Dunfanaghy is situated on the shores of beautiful Sheephaven Bay. Across the bay from Dunfanaghy is the spectacular Horn Head, which shelters Dunfanaghy from the Atlantic Ocean and has been designated as an Irish Natural Heritage Area and a Refuge for Fauna (specifically sea birds).

New Lake

New Lake near Dunfanaghy was formerly a saltwater marsh but alterations to local sand dunes meant the marsh filled with fresh water and became a lake. Over time New Lake became a haven for seabirds and is now a Special Protection Area

Local Festivals

Dunfanaghy now has a well-established Festival programme which runs throughout the year and includes a Seafood Festival, a Jazz and Blues Festival and a Halloween Madness Festival.
