The Sandhouse Hotel

TO DO…

The main amenity is the extensive beach which is very popular with families. It is frequented by walkers, joggers, sunbathers, surfers, wind-surfers, kite-surfers and swimmers, and is accessible by car via 3 ramps. There is about 3 km of a good quality wide sandy beach although it is possible to walk several more kilometres further along the shore and all the way to Murvagh Beach.

The Sandhouse Hotel is located adjacent to the beach, with a Surfers Bar attached. Overlooking the beach and on the cliff is the Gas Light Restaurant and Smuggler’s Creek Inn restaurant and bar, and there are several shops in the area, along with a Post-Office and Shop near the Franciscan Friary as well as The Thatch Tea House nearby.

The Franciscan Friary is located up from the southern end of the beach.[3] The Friary has a Visitor Centre and contains the Donegal Historical Society Museum which houses a small collection including stone age flints and old Irish musical instruments. The Friary also has beautiful gardens which are open to visitors.

To the south-west further along the cliffs in the distance stands the ruined Kilbarron Castle which is accessible via Creevy.

Rossnowlagh is central to Donegal Town and Bundoran which are both a short drive away
