Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If a historic stay in one of Ireland’s most scenic coastal spots sounds good to you, you’re in the right place. Set within an 1800s military fort in the fishing village of Greencastle, this home has panoramic views of Lough Foyle. There's even a Martello tower on the grounds, built to defend against invasion by Napoleon. The village and the ruins of an Anglo-Norman castle are a short walk away, while beaches and Greencastle Golf Club are just minutes by car. Staying in is just as tempting though, with multiple living rooms, a home cinema and a games room. Plus, outside, there's a mini football pitch for the kids and a wood-fired hot tub for evenings under the stars.

About Ireland
The population of the Republic of Ireland sits close to five million, yet in 2019, it welcomed over nine-and-a-half million tourists. Why could that be? It might be tempting to put it down to the naturally friendly disposition of the Irish (one of the most widely known Gaelic phrases, ‘céad míle fáilte’, translates as ‘a hundred thousand welcomes’), but there’s a little more to it than that.
