Fahan Creek

Fahan Creek is located in the small seaside village of Fahan on the eastern shores of Lough Swilly and looks out over the water towards Inch Island. The Walled City of Derry is just a 15 min drive away and Buncrana - Inishowen's largest town - is a 5 min drive away. In addition to a gym, the property has its own boat jetty (Fahan Marina is close by) Sleeping up to 9 people and with extensive private grounds, Fahan Creek makes an ideal base for a large group or family.

Ideal Base to Explore Inishowen and Derry

Fahan Creek is situated on the Wild Atlantic Way driving route, ideal to explore the beautiful Inishowen Peninsula. During the summer months the Buncrana to Rathmullan car ferry provides easy access to the equally stunning Fanad Peninsula. The luxury holiday home is also an ideal for those who wish to explore historic Derry City from a more tranquil base. Few places in these islands can offer such a compelling and unique experience for the visitor as the Walled City of Derry - its setting on the steep hills overlooking the wide sweep of the River Foyle, its distinctive architecture and its famous walls all provide enormous appeal. The Lonely Planet Guide have Derry in the top 10 cities to visit.
