"Enjoying the best of both worlds !"

Experience the laid-back feeling of living in a house on an island without the disadvantages of being totally cut-off from the wider world.

Connected to the mainland by a bridge, Cruit Island offers wonderful coastal scenery, with a great variety of spectacular sandy beaches, cliffs and rocky shoreline allowing a host of outdoor activities such as walking,  fishing and boating. It also boasts a 9-hole golf course which has gained a reputation as one of the best  in Europe.

Then venture off the island and you will find you have an  excellent base for exploring the surrounding areas of Donegal, boasting scenery to match any in Ireland with rugged mountains, a magnificent coastline and many off-shore islands such as Arranmore, Inishfree and Tory.

On the mainland there are a variety of friendly pubs within easy reach, many with traditional Irish music, as well as a good choice of eating places. There are outdoor activities such as horse-riding, fishing (lake, river and sea), diving, surfing etc. Cruit is close to the village of Kincasslagh with a local store and about 6 miles from the small town of  Dungloe where such facilities as shopping and banking are available.
