The Inishowen coastline has some of the most picturesque landscapes in Ireland with many award winning golden beaches. Most of the peninsula has been designated a European special area of conservation helping to protect migrating birds and indigenous wildlife.

A 15 minute shuttle car ferry service to Magilligan Strand in Northern Ireland operates in the Summer.

The Fort is steeped in historical significance and is located in a private road with several houses and two apartment buildings each comprising of 8 Apartments. Number 38 is in the second apartment complex situated at the end of the private road.

The interior of this stunning high end apartment was finished in 2014 (the last apartment to be completed). The finish is gold star with honeycombe sinquastone worktop and solid oak kitchen units.

    Myself and two friends stayed here last week and it was perfect. We had entered the Quadrathlon which was 4 marathons in 4 days and it was an ideal location to get to all of the start / finish lines as well as the space to chill out and prepare our own food etc. The views are amazing and an added bonus was that we saw Dolphins swimming in the sea.

    This is the best equipped apartment I’ve ever stayed in. So generous. The host has clearly thought about every single thing. Cooking was so easy as the kitchen equipment is brilliant. So we’ll equipped for kids with great cot and highchair. But mostly, this is probably the cleanest accommodation I’ve ever visited. Spotless. Will be returning!
