5-bedroom house with hot tub near Rathmullan beach

Newly renovated 5 bedroom house sleeping 11 people. The house is situated on the Wild Atlantic Way, just outside Rathmullan, recently named by the Guardian as one of Ireland’s ten most charming villages. In their words, “the village is the gateway to the beautiful east coast of the Fanad peninsula, one of the most northerly points in Ireland and home to some of its finest beaches along Ballymastocker Bay; and the ridged mountains offer spellbinding views across valleys, lakes and coast.”

The exterior of a traditional thatched cottage is presented with soft, ambient lighting along the outline. The stone path leads to a door, framed by potted plants. Nearby, a utility shed is visible, contributing to the charm of the cottage's rural setting.
