An Teach Ban - Downings

An Teach Ban is located at Fletcher's Field and has superb views over the pier and harbour, Rosapenna Golf Club, and Sheephaven Bay towards Horn Head. The highlight of this spacious cottage is our Cape Cod/New England style wooden veranda and deck. We have all the furniture to transform this into a beautiful outdoor living area. The views from right across the veranda are stunning. Walled, gated, and fenced to the front/vehicular entrance side of the house.

Outside and Gardens

The elevation looking to sea has a 1/4 acre lawn which is great for kids football games. The lawn has plants and flowers to the side perimeters and is mowed regularly. We also have the ever-popular basketball stand and net.

An Teach Ban - Interior

The living room adjoins the dining area and kitchen, this living area has direct access via gliding double glass doors to the veranda overlooking the Bay. The White Room is a more formal space with no TV, and has a large open fire and again offers direct access out to the veranda via its glass gliding doors.

Both the kitchen/dining/family room space and the White Room space have fabulous sea views and offer access directly to the wooden veranda space which overlooks the Bay.

Exit Clean Details

All rentals are required to pay an exit clean of €200 regardless of the length of stay as the house is large (3500 sq ft) and requires the same attention to detail in the exit clean regardless of nights stayed at the property.

Local Activities

The natural landscape of the Rosguil Peninsula provides the basis for many of the activities that the visitor can enjoy. The peninsula has an abundance of golden sandy beaches including the famous “Tra na Rossan” beach which is a 5-minute drive from the cottage. Unsurprisingly there are many water-based activities in the Downings/Carrigart area to enjoy - including windsurfing, deep sea diving, sea angling and boat charters. There is also horse riding, tennis and hill walking. Within a short drive of the cottage is the scenic Ards Forest Park.

Golf in the Downings Area

For the golf enthusiast the cottage offers a superb base to play some of the great links courses of North Donegal. A 5-minute drive brings you to two superb championship golf links at Rosapenna - Sandy Hills Course and the Old Tom Morris Course. The addition of the fabulous St Patrick's Links course guarantees golfers a magnificent choice of courses on their doorstep. Within half an hours drive there are two more excellent courses – Portsalon and Dunfanaghy. The Rathmullan to Buncrana car ferry service brings the magnificent courses in Ballyliffin within easier reach.

The village of Downings itself is a popular and lively holiday destination with a number of fine traditional pubs and a variety of restaurants. So whether you prefer a peaceful and relaxing holiday - or a more lively activity-based break - An Teach Ban is your ideal base.
