From your bedroom, you can take in the stunning view of the sea (and dolphins) and Binevenagh Mountain. Have breakfast on the patio and then walk straight onto one of the loveliest beaches in Ireland, or take Yoga lessons or a Sauna (small booking fee on request) and go for a swim after. The apartment can be booked with the Lower Annex (sleeps 4). The space The property was completely refurbished in July 2024 and boasts a setting that is quite unique in Donegal. Set on the grounds of Carraig Cnoc House, which has seen artists, writers, musicians, comedians, and politicians stay over the years, the Upper Annex is private, peaceful, beautiful and magical. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, and the hotel-style beds can be configured as twin or double (just let me know in advance). A brand new kitchen diner has a dishwasher, electric oven, TV, and wifi. Outside is a private gravel patio/dining area, which is a suntrap on nice days, and from there, you walk directly along the gravel path and down to a lovely, secluded beach. There is a brand new wood-fired Sauna available for 1-hour sessions on request for a small fee. The property is unique in that you can see the sea from every room, and on most days, you can see the dolphins and the odd seal. Birds are abundant from our neighbourly heron, the whizzing house martins, gulls, oystercatchers, terns and cormorants. Experience the magic of the place and walk up to the lighthouse and stunning beach at Inishowen Head, or maybe a round of golf at the local golf links. We have two of the best pizza restaurants, which also serve other great food, in Moville, six miles away, and some great pubs. There is a horse riding school in Town and during the summer a huge sea adventure where kids can jump off bouncy castle in the water in Moville. There's something for everyone, and we know you will love your stay Guest access Parking is to the side of the main house. The gravel patio is reserved for you and any guests who may be in the lower apartment. Walk along the gravel path to the beach, which is secluded but open to the public. Please do not walk in front of or around the main house as there are daily Yoga classes (which can also be booked if you fancy some serious relaxation. There is strictly no access to the large rock overlooking the sea for health and safety reasons. Other things to note: The beach is right on your doorstep, accessed by a short path. It is a beautiful beach and great for swimming but there are no lifeguards so all children must be accompanied. Same with the garden area as the main gate is never closed. We pride ourselves on getting 5 star reviews, and most everyone has said it was the most relaxing and fun stay they have ever had, which pleases us the most as we want people to share the magic of Carrig Cnoc. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Gym ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Recycling - Solar energy - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Restaurant](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109690000/109682800/109682706/7af93fc8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dunluce Lodge - Small Luxury Hotels of the World Portrush - Spa - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant 9.6 Exceptional 14 reviews £295 includes taxes & fees 19 Feb - 20 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-19&endDate=2026-02-20&selected=109682706&PinnedHotelID=109682706&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114100000/114092700/114092666/253e810e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### River View Pod Muff - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi £369 includes taxes & fees 21 Feb - 22 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-21&endDate=2026-02-22&selected=114092666&PinnedHotelID=114092666&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, desk, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115310000/115300300/115300265/e16c68f8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanview Cabin Hideaway with Outdoor Bath!!
