Cosy & comfortable cottage in private garden with panoramic sea views

The Old Stable is a charming cottage set back from the road with a private mature garden and a fantastic panoramic view of Lough Foyle, the North Coast and the Atlantic Ocean. This is an ideal holiday retreat for individuals, couples or a small family who value privacy and tranquility.
The original house is over 100 years old and beautifully renovated. The traditional charm is preserved and modern conveniences added for comfort, includes central heating, open plan livingroom, a modern kitchen, one spacious ensuite bedroom, bathroom (two in total) and a wood burning stove.
The garden is very peaceful and private, enjoy a barbecue or just take a seat outside and enjoy the magnificent view. Relax watching the boats going by or while listening to the sound of the small steam and the birds.
This is a great tour base for exploring the beautiful Inishowen Peninsula. Approximate 15 min walk / 2 min drive takes you to the Blue Flag Sweet Nelli's Beach and Inish Lighthouse, where you will find a beautiful sandy beach, a car park, as well as toilet facilities and life guards during summer months.
The seaside villages of Greencastle and Moville offer nice cafes, restaurants and genuine Irish pubs, live music and summer festivals. Also a friendly local pub is a 5 min walk away from the cottage (opens occascionally),
Greencastle Golf Club is a beautiful 18 hole links course, visible from the house and only a 5 minute drive away. From the house you can join the stunning Inishowen Head loop walk (8km, moderate hike) or from Greencastle join a beautiful shore walk to Moville (2km, easy walk). Moville also offers sea kayaking, canoeing and adventure activities.
In the summer you can use the car ferry services to takes you from Greencastle to the scenic coast of Northern Ireland, Giant Causeway and The Bushmills Distillery are approximately 1.5 hour car journey. The Historic City of Derry is approximate 30 minute drive away.
There is plenty of space for parking around the house and seats are availble in the garden for you to enjoy the peacful views.

Wonderful weekend

Gregory’s place was an idyllic cottage overlooking the sea and blessed with a lovely garden where we ate breakfast and sat out in the evenings. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The location was fantastic, minutes away from Michael John’s pub and a short walk to beautiful Shroove beach. We have already recommended the Old Stables and will definitely return ourselves. Gregory was an attentive, welcoming and hospitable host. We couldn’t fault anything!

Sweetest spot in Northern Ireland

The Old Stable is a lovely cottage which wrapped us in a calm soothing embrace. It was spotlessly clean and efficient, warmed up quickly and provided a home base from which to explore the surrounding beauty of the landscape. Its simple and tasteful decor was inviting and comfortable, the wood stove worked easily and we did not lack for anything. The view of the bay was ever changing and the air so clean and refreshing. Gregory was a perfect host who guided us when we arrived in the very late evening and was always available to answer any queries we had about the cottage or the local places of interest and the amenities of Moville. He was most helpful, patient, and kind. If you long for peace and a nourishing respite from a busy daily routine, this haven will not disappoint! We long to revisit it already.

A great place to stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at The Old Stable. It was very clean, well equipped with whatever you might need in the kitchen and other rooms, and of course the view was fabulous. In addition, the apples and plums were ripe so we got to enjoy eating those. The arrival process was very easy because Gregory's kind father was watching for us. We took some walks around the neighborhood, out onto the headlands, and down on the coastline.

Cottage on the Sea

The cottage is perfect. Absolutely everything anyone could possibly need. The view is mesmerizing and the front garden is full of tulips and blooming shrubs. Gregory is a wonderful host and keeps in contact. This entire area is full of history and do go to Nonnie’s for the daily bake. We wholeheartedly suggest you treat yourself to this lovely cottage and the quiet and joy of waking up each morning to the view of Lough Foyle. Thank you Gregory, Judith & Michael
