The Olde Sterritt Farmhouse

The Olde Sterritt Farmhouse sits in a picturesque setting outside the village of Carrigart. Situated between the popular seaside towns of Dunfanaghy and Downings, this house is ideally located to explore the Wild Atlantic Way and this beautiful part of Donegal.

AnIdeal Base to Explore North Donegal

The farmhouse is within easy driving distance of 2 of Donegal's most popular coastal resorts - the seaside village of Carrigart and the beach and golf resort of Downings. The quaint village of Carrigart has a range of amenities including shops, pubs, hotel and craft shop. It has a PAIDI approved Dive Centre and a number of equestrian centers in its environs. Outside Carrigart is the tiny village of Glen and the beautiful Glen Lough. This is the location of the Olde Glen Bar - a renowned pub and restaurant.

Between Carrigart and Downings is the superb Rosapenna Golf Resort featuring 2 championship golf links - the Old Tom Morris Course and the Sandy Hills Course. These courses overlook the golden sands of Tramore beach and Sheephaven Bay. Downings has a wonderful beach and a small working harbour. It is a popular centre for beach and water-based activities including swimming, diving, windsurfing, sailing and sea angling. The village is also well served with hotels, restaurants and pubs and has an indoor leisure centre.

The Rosguill, Fanad and Horn Head Peninsulas

The Rosguill Peninsula itself is a beautiful peninsula extending north from Carrigart and Downings and ending in the dramatic Melmore Head. To the west of the Peninsula is Sheephaven Bay, to the east is Mulroy Bay and to the north is the Atlantic Ocean. The small roads around the peninsula offer magnificent sea and mountain views and provide ideal walking and cycling terrain. There are also numerous secluded beaches dotted around the rugged coastline.

The wonderful Fanad Peninsula has a number of top-class tourist amenities. The dramatic Fanad Head Lighthouse is a Signature Point on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. At Portsalon there is a top class 18 hole links golf course and one of the finest Blue Flag Beaches in Ireland. The entire peninsula is dotted with secluded beaches and coves

Heading northwest towards Horn Head there are numerous attractions along the way including Doe Castle, the lakes of Creeslough, Ards Forest Park, Marble Hill Strand, Portnablagh beach and harbour and the beach and golf resort of Dunfanaghy.

The Olde Sterritt Farmhouse is just 25km from the magnificent Glenveagh National Park - the jewel in the crown of Donegal tourism. Letterkenny - the main town in the county - is  28km away.
