The Fort:Panoramic Views Lough Foyle Private Gated Terrace/Wifi/Baby

  • This stylish exceptional 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom (with Wifi and baby equipment), waterfront apartment is situated in a luxury complex in Greencastle, Inishowen, known as the 'The Fort' built in the grounds of the historic Napoleonic Fort and Martello Tower.

    The Fort is in a rural setting and stands on a cliff top overlooking Lough Foyle and is a short walk away from the famous Greencastle fishing village, golf course and Magilligan Ferry (15 minute crossing takes you to the North Coast of Northern Ireland - Portrush, Portstewart, Castlerock etc).

    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 surrounding waters are renowned for their variety of fresh fish making Greencastle one of the busiest fishing ports in the country. Local amenities include golf (6 golf courses in the Inishowen area), sailing or water skiing on Lough Foyle, horse riding, fishing, walking, climbing and cycling. A 15 minute shuttle car ferry service to Magilligan Strand in Northern Ireland operates in the Summer.

    The local village, a short walk away ( 6 minutes) is renowned for its restaurants featuring fresh fish and its lively pubs. There is a scenic shore walk to the village and golf course. Derry City Centre with its comprehensive shopping, and recreational facilities is accessible in approximately 25 minutes by car. There are also other retail outlets a similar drive away.

    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.

    The interior of this stunning high end apartment was finished in 2014 (the last apartment to be completed). The finish is gold star with honeycombe sinquastone worktop and solid oak kitchen units.

    The terrace is furnished with table and chairs and you can sit outside the kitchen sipping your morning cup of tea and only the dolphins can see you. Loungers and beach chairs are provided in the apartment for your comfort.

Wonderful

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!

Wow, just Wow. We used to stay in a property near by but they have sold. We love the area and were looking for somewhere else, well Elaine's place at the Fort was a little Gem.The apartment was stunning, the views from the terrace were breathtaking, we had mixed weather but even then the views were Stunning. Elaine as a host, I can't thank her enough if I could give her more than 10 out of 10 I would, nothing was too much bother. Everything was catered for on the one occasion I needed to ask a question Elaine replied, She was out celebrating Her Wedding Anniversary so that tells you her dedication to being a first class host and for looking after her guests.The location is fantastic small local shops, a nice friendly Pub the Ferryport and a lovely Indian restaurant Sultans. The larger Town Moville is great and has a bigger shop and our Favourite Restaurant Rosatos, Friday quiz night is a must and music on a SaturdayLocal beaches we love from staying in the area for 20 years are Stroove and Kinnigoe Bay but there are others so enjoy the search.Going back to the apartment we have rented places from short and long weekends to longer stays from 1 or 2 weeks and we have never stayed somewhere that has everything whatever you need the Fort apartment has it.If you are thinking of booking and wondering if you should, if you don't you will be missing out on a fantastic apartment with incredible views over Loch Foyle

Myself and two friends stayed here last week and it was perfect. We had entered the Quadrathlon which was 4 marathons in 4 days and it was an ideal location to get to all of the start / finish lines as well as the space to chill out and prepare our own food etc. The views are amazing and an added bonus was that we saw Dolphins swimming in the sea.

Beautiful Location.

It was very relaxing and we enjoyed our stay there. The condo was clean and well-outfitted. Just a point of reference : We rented a car in Dublin and could not drive it in Northern Ireland. Therefore a trip that we thought would be no more than 4 hours was over 8 since we had to swing way around the country.

Just Book it you will not be disappointed!

A thoughtfully and tastefully furnished new apartment, built within a site of a Napoleonic fort, with breath taking views over Lough Foyle. The apartment is kept scrupulously clean and has all the equipment and more you need for a comfortable home from home experience. The location is secure and very peaceful (except for the lapping of the waves a couple of meters from your bedroom window!). A few minutes short walk along a private path takes you to the town center where you will find one of the best fish restaurants in the country. Regardless of the weather or season this is an ideal base to explore the bountiful natural history, rich history and culture of Donegal.

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!

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.
