About this property
The Fort:Panoramic Views Lough Foyle Private Gated Terrace/Wifi/Netflix/Baby
This new 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom (with Wifi, Netflix 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 property can be accessed either via a lift from the car park level or via separate external stairs and separate external front door.
NOTE - discount of now 10 % for bookings of 7 days or more and 30% for bookings over 28 days. Relaxed cancellation policy.
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.
There are three bedrooms, the master with en-suite shower room has a king size bed (firm mattress) and fitted wardrobes, the double bedroom with double bed and fitted mirrored wardrobes plus a third bedroom with two single beds and fitted mirrored wardrobes. There is a travel cot and high chair. The family bathroom with double sinks is located close to the latter bedrooms. Blackout curtains are fitted in all the bedrooms.
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.
The property has just been fitted with broadband so there is free WiFI and it also boasts Netflix.
We also have an apartment in the middle of Moville 8467875 and a house in France (Barfleur 30 mins from Cherbourg and 6 minute walk to the harbour) VRBO property no 11163394.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Elaine Ruse

We live and work in London, have day jobs and our joint hobby/ business is buying holiday homes in unusual locations and letting them out as holiday lets. It is not just financial, it gives us enormous pleasure when people have amazing relaxing holidays and then return another year. We try to provide for every eventuality in the apartment.
Why they chose this property
My husband was browsing the net and showed me a picture of the view from a similar property for sale in the Fort. The view of the Lough through the floor to ceiling windows with a ship passing by blew me away. I sat for 10 minutes just looking at the view and knew we had to buy 'that view'. We did.
What makes this property unique
We chose this particular apartment as it has a wrap around large secure private terrace overlooking Lough Foyle. Our apartment was finished in 2014 and my husband fished (he caught a number of fish!) from the rocks outside the apartment soon after completion with dolphins swimming around in front of him. I sat reading on the rocks. Heaven. Broadband has just been fitted so there is free WiFi.
