About this property

Beautiful Holiday Cottage, Dunfanaghy, Donegal

16 Rinn na Mara is a superb holiday home located in Dunfanaghy, Co Donegal in close proximity to the Golf Club, Killyhoey Strand (beach) and the popular holiday village/resort of Dunfanaghy. The cottage has been built in a modern and yet traditional style with oak and tile floors, a large stone fireplace (with a wood burning stove), a modern kitchen and is tastefully furnished and decorated throughout in keeping with the traditional and modern blended style.
It is located close to Dunfanaghy golf clubhouse and it is a 5 minute walk to the beach and also to the village centre and amenities. The area is one of the most beautiful in Ireland and the location enables easy access to Horn Head, some of the finest walks and beaches around and the spectacular indented Donegal coastline. The local landscape changes in response to seasons and daily weather. In the right light at the right time the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
The cottage can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 spacious bedrooms. Each bedroom is furnished with luxury oak beds and good quality duvets and linen. The large open plan ground floor of the cottage combines the ease of modern living with comfort. The centrepiece is a ‘local’ stone fireplace.

Beautiful, spacious property in a perfect location. Comfortably snug, a lovely sunroom for reading, living room for TV viewing, ample sized rooms and a light filled landing with views across the golf course. A quiet setting with a good sized garden and plenty of privacy. Lots of parking space in the driveway.

The house is in an excellent location to amazing beaches and Dunfanaghy. It could have done with a few more kitchen stuff like a baking tray more than one dishwasher tablet and decent knives. The house is very spacious, comfortable and clean. The information from Trevor was very good and he was very responsive when we needed to clarify how to turn on the hot water during our stay. Thanks
