About this property

Charming Coastal Cottages near Portsalon beach

Located in the heart of Portsalon, one of Donegal’s most scenic coastal villages, Ardglass Cottages offer a peaceful and comfortable base for exploring this beautiful part of the Wild Atlantic Way. Just a short walk from the golden sands of Portsalon Beach, these five holiday cottages are ideal for families, friends and groups looking to unwind. Whether you’re booking a single cottage or staying across several, Ardglass gives you the space to relax and enjoy everything the area has to offer.

Ardglass Cottages are a collection of five spacious holiday homes in Portsalon, available to book individually or together for larger groups. Set on generous shared grounds with views of the sea and surrounding landscape, each cottage sleeps up to 9 guests and offers everything you need for a relaxing coastal stay. Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped open-plan kitchen and a large dining area that flows into a bright sunroom - perfect for long breakfasts or lazy afternoons. A separate living room upstairs provides a cozy space to unwind in the evenings. With two bathrooms and four bedrooms (two doubles and two twins), there’s plenty of room for families and groups to spread out in comfort. Outside, your own private patio with outdoor seating is ideal for al fresco meals or simply soaking up the fresh sea air.

Please note - there are 5 cottages included this listing, you can rent one or all 5 depending on your needs. If you're interested in booking more than one cottage, just get in touch to confirm availability.

Guests also have access to a variety of shared spaces designed for relaxation and play. The large, landscaped grounds include a children’s outdoor playground, colourful plant beds and wide grassy areas that are perfect for games and picnics. Indoors, a dedicated playroom keeps younger children entertained with toys and a ball pit, while older children and adults can enjoy pool, air hockey, table tennis and a foosball table. Whether you're spending time with family or winding down after a day out, there’s something here for everyone to enjoy.

Portsalon’s Blue Flag beach is just a 10-minute walk away, with the local pier, pub and coastal walks close by. Fanad Lighthouse, a must-see along the Wild Atlantic Way, is a short drive from the cottages. Knockalla Beach, one of the most scenic in Ireland, is just a 10 minute drive away.

TO NOTE:
The photos shown are from Cottages 2 and 4. While all five cottages follow the same layout and offer the same amenities, each one has its own individual style and decor. Cottages 1, 2, and 3 are set slightly higher on the grounds and offer views of the sea, while Cottages 4 and 5 are a little more spacious and include an additional en-suite bathroom.
