Do I need to drive to the Beach?
No, it is just a few minutes walk to the nice little sandy beach at Aughris (in front of Beach Bar). Some people like to drive the 5kms to the larger stretch of sand at Dunmoran Strand, others walk between the two beaches.

Will the house be warm when we arrive in Winter?
Yes we take pride in providing a warm welcome, with the heating on and the open fire or stove lit once we know your expected arrival time. It’s what our winter guests like most, then when they arrive the biggest dilemma is whether to head out again to the pub or not..Do we have to arrive at a set time?
No, there is a keysafe at the door, and we will email or text you with the code so that you can arrive at any time. We like an estimated time of arrival though so that we can have heating / stove set for you.

Are towels provided
Regrettably from 1 Oct 2022 we no longer provide towels due to the huge increase in our laundry costs. Towels can be booked at €10 per person per stay payable locally.
