    “The Beachhouse is peaceful and idyllic.”

    We unexpectedly experienced warm summer weather for most of our fortnight in September with only a few days that were a wash out. Regardless, you can enjoy the property in any weather as when we were not out in and around Donegal, there was plenty of space for our daughter to play in the rooms and we could relax with a book too. It's also no issue to communicate with the property owner should it be required. Would highly recommend staying here.

The property

Gortahork 3.4 miles.

With panoramic sea and mountain views, The Beachhouse is a stylish, detached house resting in Meenlaragh near Gortahork, County Donegal.

The property has been designed to a high standard, with colours and furnishings to match the surrounding landscape, bringing the outside in for a family or group of six's holiday by the sea.

After parking in the off-road space, step inside your eye-catching, contemporary holiday home and climb the stairs to the first floor.

A spacious, open-plan living area awaits with large windows framing the breath-taking views; the sleek kitchen area features quartz worktops, sage green cupboards and everything needed for a self-catering stay, including an electric oven and hob, American-style fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.

Set the table for six with bench seats and cushions to dine with your loved ones at sunset after busy days exploring the coast.

The tasteful sitting area features beach themed colours and a swivel armchair to snuggle up with a book by the electric fire, along with a contemporary corner sofa to host movie nights on the wall-mounted TV.

Why not start your day out on the balcony with a hot cup of coffee in hand?

With idyllic views like this overlooking Mushish mountains, Mount Erigal and the islands of Inishbofin and Inishdooey, it'll be hard to tear yourself away from The Beachhouse!

You'll even enjoy them from the spacious first-floor cloakroom whilst you freshen up before dinner.

Follow the glass balustrade back downstairs where a gorgeous chandelier hangs from the high ceiling.

Throw sandy towels and muddy walking gear into the utility's washer and dryer, before freshening up in the ground-floor shower room with a large walk-in shower and heated towel rail for added comfort.

Three well-appointed bedrooms await sleepy heads with ample storage space, stylish furnishings and unforgettable views to greet you each morning; the master king-size is a large room with a sitting area overlooking the sea and en-suite bathroom, along with twin with en-suite shower room and a 4" double.

Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, you'll find a path in the garden leading to the shoreline to take in the views in peace, and why not take a ferry ride out to Tory Island or embark on a coastal path?

In Meenlaragh, dine at a traditional Irish pub after spending the day along one of the many sandy beaches in the area, such as Magheraroarty or Tramore, or exploring nearby villages such as Gortahork and Falcarragh.

A great day out awaits at Glenveagh National Park with an idyllic deer forest, Lough Beagh, Glenveagh Castle and plenty of trails to lose yourself in nature.

Further along the coast you'll find Bunbeg lying at the foot of the Errigal Mountain, whilst Dungloe is a bustling coastal town to fish along Dungloe lake pier.

For a holiday home you'll love returning to again and again, book your stay at The Beachhouse.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.

About the location

GORTAHORK, COUNTY DONEGAL

Glenveagh National Park 11.5 miles; Dungloe 18 miles; Letterkenny 27 miles.

The village of Gortahork is situated on the north western tip of the County Donegal coast, and is an increasingly popular location for surfing and walking. There are several beautiful beaches around the area, and the village is home to the Samhain International Poetry Festival each year. From Gortahork, Glenveagh National Park is easily accessible for a great day out, and with 16,000 acres, it is a walker's paradise. The renowned artist Derek Hill bequeathed his house and gallery near Glenveagh along with his art collection to the nation in 1980, attached is Glebe Gallery and tea rooms which hosts many exhibitions. For a day's relaxation head to nearby Bunbeag which has a swimming pool and a spa area or An Chuirt Hotel which lies at the foot of the Errigal Mountain and has its own health club and spa. Island-hopping is fun for all the family, and from Gortahork, you can charter a boat and visit Arranmore, Cruit Island and Owey Island. Cruit Island is joined to the mainland by a bridge, so is easily reached by car, but chartering a boat is much more exciting! Nearby, the town of Dungloe plays host to the annual ‘Mary From Dungloe’ festival, and is renowned for its fantastic fishing. This is a great location, and an ideal base for touring the area.
