The cottage has one modern bathroom. The interior is fully insulated, and double glazed with oil fired central heating.
Radharc Banbha is located within walking distance of a quiet secluded beach (no swimming) which can be accessed through fields owned by the holiday home owner.
Ballyhillin Beach
Walking on from this cove is the famous raised pebble Ballyhillin beach. This is a unique raised beach system of international scientific significance. The distinctive shoreline illustrates the changing connection between the sea and the land. The beach is well known for its semi precious stones such as jasper, serpentine and agate, all of which can be cultured and set into jewellery. These coves and beaches can be accessed by car in 3 mins also.
Malin Head
The holiday home takes it name from its location near Malin Head. The very tip of Malin Head, and of Ireland, is known as Banbha's Crown. In 1905 Banbha Tower was built as a signal station before modern technology made it redundant.
Natural attractions along the cliff edge near Malin Head include a spectacular subterranean cavern known as 'Hell's Hole' and a natural arch called the 'Devil's Bridge'. On a good day the Scottish coast line, Tory Island and nearby Inishrahall Island are visible.
The Inishowen Peninsula is renowned the world over for bird watching, especially places such as Banbha's Crown. The hayfields around Malin Head have become very important recently as one of the few places in Ireland where the Corncrake still breeds.
