Peaceful location,Superb sea views,on the 'Wild Atlantic Way'! ...With internet.

Ard na nOilean (height overlooking Islands) – No doubt you are looking for your dream holiday home. Then look no further - This house is situated in quite unique surroundings. The landward sides of the house are enclosed by rock-faces, with the remainder open to the sea . A path from the garden leads directly to the strand. The perfect location for painters, writers, photographers or simply people who appreciate nature at its finest!. Despite the cottage's sheltered location Annagry village is for your evenings entertainment, nothing more than a short stroll away.
- I have recently completed the construction of an elevated Summerhouse featuring panoramic and breathtaking views of Annagry village and Carrickfinn beach in the distance.



The village is only a 8minute walk away and has three pubs and two restaurants. One of which is the renowned Killindarragh House “Danny Minnie´s”. Some of the regions most famous artists, such as Clannad, Enya and Altan began their careers playing in the traditional pubs, such as Leo's, which define the area.

The village has among other services a small supermarket. Chemist, post office, hairdressers and two Take-aways
Activities: Golf, Cuirt Island, Gweedore, Falcarragh, Portnoo, Dunfanaghy - all courses within a radius of 50 km; Horse Riding; Fishing, deep sea, river and lake - info on permits available; Hill walking and climbing in the Poison Glen and Errigal; Walking on the countless miles of unspoiled beaches; Surfing and diving schools in the Dungloe area; Day trips to Tory and Gola Islands from Bunbeg Harbour. To simply spend a day driving around this area of Donegal is an experience, you will never forget.
Cycling has in recent years become very popular with the locals and the cycling paths are continually being improved.Some routes have absolutely stunning scenery and will challenge your fitness.

- Further information regarding sightseeing and day trips can be found in the cottage.

Wedding party

We stayed here for a week with our grown up family on the occasion of our daughter’s wedding. It was a great secluded location but a ten minute walk from the main town area. The bridal party got ready here on the morning of the wedding and with 3 bathrooms there was plenty of room for everyone. I would definitely recommend this house for a relaxing holiday.

Amazing location

Just back from a wonderful week here. House is really spacious for six adults and our dog. Beds are very comfy and great to have two en-suites and a large main bathroom. Kitchen has everything you need. Outside garden was great with famtastic views, truly in the heart of the wild Atlantic way, Nice walk down to the lovely village of Annagry where the locals are so friendly and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend this house and it’s a great base to explore the stunning scenery in the area and beyond. Close to some of.the most amazing beaches if lucky enough to get the weather …. we will definitely return here next time we come to Donegal. Sharkey’s is great for a drink and the food at Caisleain Oir is so good but I’d advise to book as gets very busy. Look forward to our next visit.

Fabulous House Fabulous Place

The house itself is extraordinary. It is spacious and well equipped and its situation is wonderful. A small path down the hillside to the shore is a real treat and provides a wonderful opportunity to watch the summer sunset. It is not a fussy house, so it is easy to keep it clean and tidy. Annagry is a magical place. There are beaches nearby of soft clear sand, for sea bathing, castle building and kite flying, there are bars and a hotel and a coffee shop in the village itself, and there is access to the islands from the pier at Kincasslagh. There are guillemots, and cormorants, and in May there were cuckoos. As we watched the sunset from the tip of Cruit island, a seal broke the surface of the bay and gave us a good hard stare. We climbed Errigal, we walked in Glenveagh and we went to see Finn Harps play in Balleybofey. The house is well run and all our communication with the owner was easy, friendly and helpful.

A piece of absolute heaven.

We took the house on as a family holiday first one in 3 years. This was a fabulous venue. The house sits in a rise on the inlet. It has a stunning summer house built on stilts with balcony, seating, bar-b-q. The house has great wifi as well as a proper working TV channels including access to Netflicks.There are two pubs nearby and a couple of great take aways as well. The house was fully equipped with books, games to entertain. The house itself was brilliant ensuite rooms l, comfortable beds and storage I can't state enough how great the house and location was. We will definitely book again.If you get the chance please book this property

Staycation in Annagary, Donegal – A Perfect Winter Retreat

Our recent staycation in Annagary, Donegal, was everything we hoped for and more. Nestled along the stunning shoreline, the house provided the perfect winter escape for our family over a long weekend. Despite a storm rolling through, the cozy atmosphere of the house made it feel like a true haven.The house itself exceeded our expectations. It was more than adequate in size, offering plenty of room for everyone to relax and unwind without feeling crowded. The amenities were fantastic – from a well-equipped kitchen to comfortable living spaces, every detail was thoughtfully provided to ensure a comfortable stay.What truly made this location special was its proximity to the shore. Waking up to the sound of waves and stepping outside to take in the breathtaking coastal views was an absolute treat. Even during the stormy weather, the charm of Annagary and its rugged beauty shone through.This staycation was a perfect blend of comfort and adventure. Whether it was cozying up indoors with the family or braving the elements to explore the surrounding area, we felt completely at home. Annagary is a gem, and we can’t wait to return – hopefully next time with clearer skies!Jim (The Host), although never met in person was very quick and clear with communication and allowed us a couple extra hours to check out than listed which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque retreat in Donegal.

Enjoyed staying in Annagry, the house was very centrally located and easy to get around Donegal. Lots of lovely beaches nearby and you can watch the planes coming and going. The house was very comfortable, had an issue with unwashed floors and dust when we arrived but a mop and duster sorted out both. Would return to the area again, lots of places to eat, we had a very relaxing time away.
