About this property
Elnan Cottage - A quiet escape
This early 20th century 3-bedroom house has been extensively refurbished and modernized. It sleeps 6 with two double bedrooms and one twin bedded room. There are two bathrooms, (one en suite), a sitting room/dining area and separate kitchen.
The house is set back from the road, nestling at the foot of a mountain. A large grassed area at the front of the house provides space for children to play, (but due to a shallow stream on the boundary, young children should be supervised).
The village of Ballyliffin is a short distance away with a shop, petrol station, fast food shop and four large hotels. The world renowned Ballyliffin Links Golf Course is visible from the house and less than a mile away by road.
The nearest beach, Pollen Bay is a short drive away and is just one of the many picturesque beaches within easy reach of the house.
Situated on the Inishowen Peninsula this house is in one of Ireland's most beautiful areas. Opportunities for walking, cycling , golf, surfing and horse riding are all close at hand, as well as places of historical interest.

About the host
Hosted by Pat & Barbara
This was my parents house, and where my mother was born. I have been going to this house since I was six months old, and when I inherited the house and surrounding fields, I couldn't bear to part with it. One day I hope to retire here and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the area.
What makes this property unique
This house was built early in the 20th centuary, and I remember the big open turf fire where all the cooking was done, along with going out to the small stream that runs beside the property to get the drinking water. It has now been brought into the 21st centuary, but you can still see signs of the old building layout.
