WHY YOU SHOULD HOLIDAY IN DONEGAL!
Well, you probably already know that it's the most beautiful part of Ireland! But if you are considering coming to Ireland for a holiday then let us show you why you should come to County Donegal. Just look at how Kate and her family spend their holidays in Donegal here or click on this link to see a video and hear more about, what Donegal has to offer and then start your holiday by coming to ride at Rose Cottage Riding School!

You will see in the video that Nick Faldo and other golf professionals love some of the Golf courses in Donegal. If you or your partner like golf then you should know that one of these very golf courses is actually only ten minutes away from Rose Cottage!! See information about Ballyliffin Golf Club below!

ATTRACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES IN INISHOWEN
Malin Town is situated in the Inishowen peninsula, County Donegal.
Have a look at http://www.visitinishowen.com/activities/attractions.html and www.mytown.ie/Inishowen to find things to do and places to go whilst you are in Inishowen, and be sure too, to check out http://www.searchdonegal.com

DRIVING TO ROSE COTTAGE? Approach Malin Town from the South on the R242, pass over over Malin's unique ten arched stone bridge and turn next (sharp) left as you enter Malin Town Square. This is still the R242. Then proceed for 1.9km (1.2miles) from this point along the R242. Rose Cottage Riding School is on your right. When entering the yard - unless the gates are already open - do please make sure that you keep all our gates closed behind you.

If using Sat/Nav, you can set your destination to:
Latitude: 55^◦ 17′ 54.19″ N (55^◦.298386N); Longitude: 07^◦17′ 06.82″ W (07^◦.285228W)

If coming from the Magilligan Point/Greencastle ferry we are only 27km (17 miles) or about 35-45mins by car from Greencastle

IS ONE OF YOUR PARTY INTERESTED IN GOLF?
Or to put it another way, might you be able to ride for longer with us if your partner could have a few rounds of golf at a nearby club?
Well, we may have just the right place for you (or for 'yours'), literally on our doorstep. Have a look through these links..

***BALLYLIFFIN GOLF CLUB
Tel: +353 74 9376119 Web: www.ballyliffingolfclub.com
Ballyliffin Golf Course has wonderful views of the Inishowen peninsular. It is also the most northerly golf club in Ireland. It has two 18 hole courses, and caters for all abilities including the levels of Nick Faldo who played the "Old Course" the weekend before he won the 1993 Carrolls Irish Open. The new Glashedy links played from the championship 'Tiger' tees (7,102 yds) is a real test of golfing skill. Ballyliffin has a super clubhouse, bar and eating facilities with showers and changing rooms. Visiting golfing groups and societies are always welcome. Reservations are however usually necessary at weekends.

***GREENCASTLE GOLF CLUB
Tel: +353 74 9381013/5, Mobile +353 86 1739994 Web: www.greencastlegolfclub.com
Greencastle Golf Club is on the banks of Lough Foyle, not too far (35km) from Rose Cottage and it offers good golf on links and parkland holes. The clubhouse was modernised and the course extended in the club's centenary year (1992) to a full 18 holes extending to nearly 5000 yards with a par of 69. Non-members are most welcome.

IS YOUR INTERNET SPEED A PROBLEM?
Our web site makes extensive use of photographs and a fast Internet connexion is clearly desirable. If the speed of your Internet connexion is making some of our pages rather too slow to view and you are unable to move to a faster and possibly more expensive Internet link, then a cheap Accelerated Software solution from a company like On speed (or others) might be able to help. For only a modest annual payment of about 30 Euros (£25), such an approach can be used to improve speeds, sometimes by x5 or even up to x10 in some dial up cases, and it can improve both Dial-up and even current Broadband speeds too. What's more, the approach has even won plaudits from the computer press. Obviously, we at Rose Cottage can make no guarantee as to use or fitness for your purpose, but you might like to go to http://www.onspeed.com for more information. If doing that does speed things up for you, we really do hope you'll use your new 'whizzo' speed to keep coming back to us to see how we are doing...! We hope we have been of help.
