A large patio adjoins the living room, accessed via three sets of double doors. At the water`s edge, a slipway with winch was historically used to pull the boat in.

Location Carrickfinn & the Gweedore Coast
The Pink House sits at the heart of one of Ireland`s most captivating and unspoiled corners the Gweedore Gaeltacht, where dramatic Atlantic coastline meets rich Irish culture and an easy, outdoor way of life.
Just a short stroll away, Carrickfinn Beach is a Blue Flag, award-winning strand of pristine white sand and crystal-clear water, backed by dunes and machair grassland perfect for swimming, walking, or simply taking in the view. It sits directly beside Donegal Airport, twice named among the world`s most scenic landing strips, with regular flights to Dublin and Glasgow putting the rest of Ireland, the UK and international connections within easy reach.
Golf enthusiasts are exceptionally well served locally. Gweedore Golf Club is an 18-hole links course carved into the natural coastal landscape with Mount Errigal on one side and the wild Atlantic on the other. A short drive further south, Cruit Island Golf Club at Kincasslagh is a spectacular natural 9-hole links course connected to the mainland by a causeway, with clifftop views over Arranmore and the Owey Islands regarded by many as one of the finest short courses in the world.

Further along the coast, Kincasslagh and the larger town of Dungloe the main hub of The Rosses provide further shops, services and a lively local social scene. Gweedore is one of Ireland`s largest Gaeltacht areas, giving the region a distinctive cultural identity alongside its natural beauty. For grander days out, Glenveagh National Park and the slopes of Mount Errigal Donegal`s highest peak are both within a twenty-minute drive, offering some of the finest hiking and scenery in the country.
