Mary Kate's Maisonette - Ballybofey

Come home to Mary Kate's Maisonette after exploring all that Donegal North and South has to offer (all within easy driving distance) and sit back and enjoy a glass of wine (or two) with an open fire and enjoy Netflix or a good dvd!  "It truly is a home from home"

First-floor apartment located 15 minutes walk from Ballybofey town centre with its cafes, restaurants and pubs. Ballybofey is also home to Balor Arts Centre and the famous McElhinney's Department Store. Ballybofey has a leisure centre and a golf club and the beautiful Drumboe Woods for leisurely walks. The town is a great central location for exploring north and south Donegal. Donegal Town and Letterkenny are less than half an hour's drive and Ardara, Killybegs, Dunfanaghy and Buncrana all less than an hour's drive.

The Twin Towns

Ballybofey with its twin town Stranorlar have a good choice of shops, bars, hotels and restaurants. Ballybofey has the Balor Arts Centre while the Ballybofey and Stranolar Golf Club is located just outside Stranorlar.  The twin towns are the major venues for sporting events in Donegal - including Gaelic football, soccer and athletics. For those attending weddings in the Ballybofey/Stranorlar area, the holiday home is a very relaxing base.

River Finn

The twin towns are separated by the River Finn. The river rises in Lough Finn in Co. Donegal and flows east through a deep mountain valley to Ballybofey. The river is 40 miles long. Its upper reaches are fast downstream to Ballybofey and provide excellent sport with the fly when conditions are right. The river is famous for salmon. In addition species such as roach, perch, eels and brown trout are caught in the Finn system. Not far from Ballybofey is the famous Salmon Leap at Cloghan  - a must-see for visitors!  Permits are required for fishing and are available locally

Ideal Touring Base

Donegal as a whole is renowned for its unspoilt beauty, superb blue flag beaches and rugged landscapes  including the breathtaking Gleanveagh National Park.  Ballybofey itself has a central location in County Donegal and this makes it an ideal base to tour this beautiful part of Ireland. Letterkenny – Donegal’s main town is just 20km away while the historic walled City of Derry is a 35-minute drive.

The wonderful Oakfield Park in Raphoe is just 18km away. The Park is a 100-acre garden, consisting of award-winning walled gardens to ponds, lakes, a lakeside Nymphaeum, a hedge maze, heritage trees and sculptures.  The crowning glory is a 4.5km narrow gauge railway with a diesel and steam train operating passenger trips during the holiday season.
