This house is more than just a holiday home — it’s part of my heart and my history. Built in the 1950s, it became our family home when I was just six years old. I grew up here alongside my ten brothers and sisters, with my wonderful parents. My father was the local postman, cycling the country roads on his trusty bicycle, and my mother kept the home running with warmth, care, and a touch of magic that made everyone feel welcome. The house was always alive with laughter, stories, and the chatter of family life. That same feeling still lives within these walls. When you stay here, you’re not just booking a place to sleep — you’re stepping into a home that has always been filled with love, fun, and a genuine sense of belonging. I truly believe you’ll feel that special vibe the moment you walk through the door.

Welcome to your holiday home in Ballygorman, at the very tip of Malin Head — Ireland’s most northerly point. Just a few minutes’ walk away is the Wee House of Malin, a magical seaside cave, and Farren’s Bar — Ireland’s most northerly and one of its oldest pubs — a 15–20 minute walk or 2–3 minute drive. Many guests prefer to drive, especially in the evenings. For daily essentials, Mullins Shop is only a 5–7 minute walk (or 1–2 minute drive), while the Crossroads offers a shop, petrol station, and the Sea View Tavern, a family-run restaurant with stunning Atlantic views. A short drive takes you to Banba’s Crown and the historic signal tower, along a scenic route that passes the charming Curiosity Shop. From here, enjoy breathtaking coastal vistas or explore the Inishowen 100 scenic route — perfect for cyclists. Nearby, a pier and sheltered beach invite swimming, paddling, or simply relaxing by the sea. Families will love meeting Malin Head’s friendly alpacas, enjoying fun at Farren’s Bar, experiencing the 15th August fair. The nearest town, Malin (15–16 km away), offers additional shops and cafés. Your home’s location combines peace, charm, and adventure — the perfect base for exploring Donegal’s dramatic coastline, local culture, and family-friendly attractions.
