Are you looking for a vacation rental with a real difference? Are you tired of the banal and normal? Why not literally turn the clock back in time and stay in a real Irish thatched cottage. Experience a slower pace of life on the North West coast of Ireland in County Donegal.
Located right on the Atlantic Ocean, Cruit Island is defiantly a destination with a difference. Joined from the mainland by a bridge this small secluded location offers an abundance of outdoor activities for the more adventurous traveller. Experience how Robinson Crusoe felt whilst walking on the numerous deserted beaches in the area, marvel at the rugged beauty of the Atlantic Ocean or enjoy a round of golf at one of Ireland’s most beautiful courses. Listen to the call of the Cuckoo, now almost extinct in Ireland or pick some rare wildflowers. Try your hand at fishing-the area boasts numerous species including Cod, Pollack, Tope, Mackerel, Gurnard, Conger Eel, Wrasse and Ling. Sample some of the areas fine locally produced cuisine or join the locals for a few pints of Guinness.
In the evening return home to sit at a blazing turf fire, relax with family and friends playing cards or board games as there are no phones or televisions in the cottages. Take life at a slower pace and re-invigorate your mind and body. Listen to the soothing sound of the Ocean as it crashes over the rocks less than 100 meters from where you sit.
Daily flights operate between Dublin and Donegal International Airport at Carrickfinn where car rental can also be arranged. Cruit Island is located less than 10 miles from the Airport or is a 5 hour drive from Dublin or Shannon.
