We’re just back for 5 nights at Fanad and loved our time there. Ciaran’s place has everything you need and is situated in a truly beautiful part of the world. I hadn’t done any research for this trip so his local guide book with lots of tips are very helpful.
Take your time exploring the area - we only made it as far as Horns Head as we kept getting “distracted” by all the fantastic beaches/sights along the way! The local shop has the basics and are very friendly but stock up on main supplies at Lidl in Milford on the way. If you’re visiting in the colder months, the house has a pot stove that looks very cosy!
Ards Forest Park has fantastic walks/beaches but if you’re not up for a long trek then drive to Ards Friary instead and there’s a coastal path from there. The Friary has a coffee shop too if you need to pick up a ready made picnic!
