About this property
Lakeside Farmhouse (5 mins from beaches) with private walks and gardens
Teach Aisling, meaning "Dream House" in Irish, is a beautifully refurbished farmhouse that captivates all who stay with its serene charm and breathtaking surroundings. Nestled on 5.5 acres of private land, the property offers unparalleled peace and tranquility. Adjacent to the scenic Kindrum Lough, it boasts private walking trails through ruggedly beautiful gardens, where every step immerses you in the raw beauty of nature.
The area is designated a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), making it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Spectacular creatures such as golden eagles, buzzards, otters, and foxes call this area home, providing unforgettable glimpses of nature in its purest form. For anglers, the best fishing spot on Kindrum Lough is just a stone's throw from the house, offering opportunities to catch brown trout, rainbow trout, and the elusive wild Atlantic char.
Teach Aisling is also a gateway to the wonders of the Fanad Peninsula, home to some of the world’s most stunning coastlines. Just a 5-minute drive away, you’ll find pristine beaches and the untamed beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you’re exploring the dramatic cliffs, sandy shores, or hidden coves, the peninsula offers endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation.
This "Dream House" isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience, blending comfort, nature, and a touch of magic to create lasting memories for all who visit.

A family friendly old farmhouse which suited our 8 family members, aged from 3 to quite a bit older. Beautifully secluded with plenty of ground around the house and acres of exploring along the lake shore. We were there at the end of March and the weather was cool and blustery, though we didn't have much rain. Only a 5 minute drive to the lovely beach at Ballyhiernan Bay. We visited Fanad Lighthouse and took the tour which was worth it. Also fished from the pier at Ballyhoorisky and explored the shoreline around here. We also did a little hillwalking, climbing nearby Murren Hill, though it does have a road pretty much to the top. Lots of relaxing at the house was on the menu. There are plenty of books and good Wi-Fi, though if you like to watch TV in the evening bring your own, which we did with no hassle. In warmer weather you could see how you could make much more use of the grounds which would be brilliant. There were no fish rising in the lake as it was still too cold, though there are spots on the ground to fish from. Kitchen was small, though it suited our needs and there was a separate dining room. Cosy and warm with the oil heating which was easy to adjust and the open fire was great in the evenings, there was some wood to keep us going and we found more beachcombing and added a bag of coal which all lasted us the week.We recieved all the information we needed to find and access the house and would definitely consider returning.
