Horizon House

This architect-designed house is in a stunning location and is called "Horizon House" for a good reason. On a clear day one can see Benbulben Mountain in Sligo to the left and Tory Island to the right and everything in between. The house is finished to a very high standard. Teac Jack Hotel is a short distance away. The beach is just a stone's throw away below the house and is accessed by a quiet road.

Booking Season

During the months of May-September, Horizon house can only be booked on a 7-night minimum stay commencing on a Saturday. During the other months, with the exception of holiday periods, the house can be booked for 3-night stays or longer, commencing on any night that may suit our guests.

Superb Ocean Views

Most of the rooms in the holiday home take advantage of the ocean views outside. The living room is comfortably furnished and has an solid-fuel. There are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom - 1 of the bedrooms is ensuite

A Gaeltacht Region

The area around the holiday home abounds with stunning scenery, from the spectacular Bloody Foreland to the beautiful beaches at Bunbeg and Carrickfinn and from the majestic Mount Errigal to the rugged offshore islands of Tory, Inishboffin and Gola. The nearby villages of Derrybeg and Bunbeg lie in the heart of the Irish-speaking Gweedore Gaeltacht. Staying at Atlantic View will enable the visitor to absorb the culture and heritage of this unique region where Irish is still the main everyday language.
