Set on Sheephaven Bay on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, Downings Bay Hotel is a family-run 3-star base ideal for golfers who want quick access to several top links. The hotel has 40 en-suite rooms and sits a few minutes’ drive from Rosapenna’s two courses, with Portsalon, Dunfanaghy and Letterkenny golf clubs also within easy driving distance. After a morning on the links you can return to on-site dining and a friendly bar, and families will appreciate interconnecting rooms and nearby leisure facilities. The village setting makes it simple to stage multi-course itineraries without long transfers, while the hotel’s central Downings location keeps coastal walks and beaches close at hand for relaxed evenings between rounds.
