Property Description 

Doherty Farm Holiday Homes are situated on Island Roy which is
situated between the villages of Downings and Carrigart in County
Donegal. We are only minutes from Rosapenna 18 hole golf course
and the new Sandy Hills Golf Course.

The island is joined to the mainland via a causeway and is within
walking distance of the villages of Carrigart and Downings each
2.5kilometres from the houses. Our island is part of hidden Ulster
and better still hidden Ireland. We are recorded very little on
most of the maps for the Rosguill area and are on very few maps
for Donegal.

Island Roy the name that the island is known today as has had many
different names recorded in Donegal History all relating to the
island. They are as follows: Edenbray, Elendebray, Illandeory,
Island Roy, Island Wray, and as is is officially registered with
the Irish Ordinance Survey Office, Oilen an bhrighe, which when
translated is Prisoner's Island which according to local history
links the Island with Doe Castle and the Clan Mac Sweeney.

We are nested quietly in the beautiful Mulroy Bay and protected by
Gainne Mhor the Fanad Mountains , Figart Hill, with Muckish
Mountain in the distance. We have one lake on the Island called
Loch Moss, but sadly no fish, although we do have wild duck
nesting and hatching their broods there. Our shores are noted for
Whelks, Scallop and Urchin.

Two causeways link our Island to the mainland, one to
Carrickaholan Isle and the other from Carrickaholan to Island Roy.
The causeways were built between the years of 1927 and 1929.

Our cottages are situated close to Rosapenna and the new Sandy
Hills, which offers the best in Irish Golf. The Rosguill peninsula
offers breathtaking beauty and majesty. With miles of long sandy
beaches and clear unpolluted waters. There is plenty for everyone
to do from golf to water sport, horse riding, cycling and hill
walking.

Close by is Glenveigh National Park, Ards Forest Park, The
Historic Doe Castle and Mount Errigal, Donegal's highest mountain.
Carrigart is a typical "period" village with interesting Victorian
architecture while Downings is a major water sport and sea fishing
centre
