The Inishowen coastline has some of the most picturesque landscapes in Ireland with many award winning golden beaches. Most of the peninsula has been designated a European special area of conservation helping to protect migrating birds and indigenous wildlife.

The Fort is steeped in historical significance and is located in a private road with several houses and two apartment buildings each comprising of 8 Apartments. Number 38 is in the second apartment complex situated at the end of the private road.

This is the best equipped apartment I’ve ever stayed in. So generous. The host has clearly thought about every single thing. Cooking was so easy as the kitchen equipment is brilliant. So we’ll equipped for kids with great cot and highchair. But mostly, this is probably the cleanest accommodation I’ve ever visited. Spotless. Will be returning!

Winter Holiday
We chose to go to Ireland in January to avoid the crowds and see the wonder of this island. This home, which has such a tremendous view served our needs perfectly. It is in a location that gave us a lot of privacy, but we were able to drive to many locations, both near and far away. We also needed something that would serve our needs for someone with mobility issues. Elaine was wonderful to communicate with and we had all the information that we needed for a successful stay thanks to Mark, who arrived when we did and showed us all the ins and outs of the home. Thank you!

My family and myself have just recently been for our first trip to Ireland at Greencastle fort and the apartment was amazing. A holiday home is always a big thing for me and this apartment did not disappoint from the lovely spacious layout with fantastic views to the balcony with panoramic beauty which was a pleasure to start our day and come back to after our adventures at the end of every day. Thank you to Elaine for letting us stay at her wonderful abode and Mark who met us at the start and end of our holiday was really sad to hand keys back could have stayed longer can't wait to have a return trip at future date.

superb apartment, well furnished & fitted out in a beautiful scenic setting
The apartment is situated in a unique setting of an old fort. It sits almost on the cliff edge overlooking Lough Foyle providing fantastic views from the master bedroom, lounge and kitchen - great views regardless of the weather. All rooms were well furnished and beautifully presented; loads of wardrobe space, plenty of hooks in bathroom & bedrooms, no shortage of coat-hangers. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with crockery, cutlery and all necessary machines! Self-catering was a breeze. We did dine in once or twice but also sampled a number of excellent local restaurants. We were looking to relax and chill out, pottering about locally. There are a number of easy local walks. We even managed a round of golf on one of two good local courses. The apartment would also be a good base from which to explore other parts of Donegal. This has to be one of the best properties we have ever stayed in. We look forward to returning in the future and would happily recommend it.

Pictures don’t do it justice, magnificent inside & out!
Elaine was a pleasure to deal with. The apartment is very comfortable & well organized for guests. We had no trouble acomplishing tasks, thanks to her attention to detail. The kitchen is equipped with quality appliances & cookware. The views from the interior and balcony are spectacular at all times of the day. The historical significance of the Martello Fort & adjacent Northberg Castle provide a charismatic backdrop. We found everything we needed to cook healthy meals within a reasonable driving distance from the complex. We enjoyed our time here and would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.

This was literally one of the best highlights for our trip this year. The condo is beautiful with full amenities. Overlooking the Lough and hearing the water while sitting on the deck was very relaxing. The area is very peaceful. We should have thought about booking a day or two longer because there was still so much to see! Elaine was a pleasure to deal with throughout! Fell in love with Northern Ireland quite honestly...❤️! Would highly recommend this... as a convenient location... as well as fully equipped to cook/entertain at home if you so desire! Thank you so much! PS-I wanted to apologize because we did not run the dishwasher and did not realize it until we were 3 hours away!!!
