Seaview Cabin

Surfers can leap in the car and soon be out on the waves at Tullan Strand beach in Bundoran, or you can head for the links golf course or the Ferris wheel at Bundoran Adventure Park. You’re covered on rainy days too; just make straight for the waterslides and wave pool at Waterworld Bundoran (all 10 minutes’ drive). Get the fishing rod out and try your luck at Breffni Pier Angling Centre (also 10 minutes), or walk wooded waterside trails from Lough Melvin Pier and Viewpoint (five minutes). There’s more easy walking to be had on the forest trail up to Fowley’s Falls (20 minutes), or hardcore types can cycle up the track to Glenaniff (two hours by bike) for views over County Leitrim to the Atlantic Ocean. For more far-reaching views, drive a section of the spectacular coastal Wild Atlantic Way to Mullaghamore Head (20 minutes), a pretty seaside village with multi-coloured cottages overlooking the fishing harbour. Stop off for a bite to eat, and work off lunch with a hike along dramatic sea cliffs to the headland at Classiebawn Castle (a round trip of about an hour’s walk).
