Sandpiper Lodge

Sandpiper Lodge is a modern 4-bedroom holiday home set amidst the scenic North Donegal landscape near the fabulous blue flag beach that skirts Ballymastoker Bay. This first-rate self-catering accommodation is located in a small cul-de-sac development just outside the popular holiday village of Portsalon. From the holiday home, there are views of Lough Swilly, the Inishowen Hills and the superb Portsalon Golf Links.

The Holiday Home

Accommodation in the holiday home consists of 4 bright and comfortable bedrooms (one ensuite) that can sleep up to 8 people. A bright open plan area features a modern kitchen, living area and a conservatory dining area. There is also a separate living room with open fireplace and TV. 

Superb Golf Links and Blue Flag Beach on your dorrstep

The quaint seaside village of Portsalon is just over 1 km from the holiday home This charming resort has a fabulous blue flag beach and a top-class golf course. At the village harbour there is a water sports centre where kayaks, pedal boats, wetsuits and boogie boards can be hired. Further north along the Fanad Peninsula from the holiday home there are a number of secluded beaches including Sessiagh and Ballyhoorisky.

Surfing

The beautiful Ballyhiernan beach is located on the northern coast of the Fanad Peninsula. This beach is the location of the Adventure One Surf School - the leading ISA (Irish Surfing Association) approved school on the north coast of Donegal.

The Rosguill Peninsula via the Mulroy Bridge

The new Mulroy Bridge links the Fanad and Rosguill Peninsulas and now makes it much easier for visitors to the holiday home to access attractions such as the Atlantic Drive, Ards Forest Park and spectacular  Horn Head. Indeed the bridge, in conjunction with the Rathmullan to Buncrana car ferry, will mean that the holiday home is centrally located to play the 3 top-rated golf links in North Donegal - Portsalon, Rosapenna and Ballyliffen
