Introduction. Corcreggan Mill has been best described as "the perfect place for the price-conscious guest seeking that elusive combination of comfort, atmosphere and tranquillity in a beautiful, rural, coastal setting".

Who Brendan Rohan retired from the Irish Army and started the business in 1991. His abiding passion has been the total renovation of all the buildings on the 5-acre site.

What

· A uniquely peaceful tourism and retreat venue with mill-stream, gardens, lake and sea-views set on a pre-celtic ritual site.

· Comfortable and affordable accommodation, (6 ensuite, twin, double and family rooms and 4 double and dorm rooms with shared bathrooms).

· Private workshop/retreat facilities with a dedicated French chef if required.

When The Mill House is fully open to guests between 07 March and 07 November. Special arrangements can be made to cater to groups who want to be here off-season.

Where Corcreggan Mill (GPS position 55°10.03’N, 008°00.22’W) is located along the N.56, by the shore of New Lake Nature Reserve, on the north-west coast of Donegal, between Dunfanaghy (3km) and Falcarragh (8km), overlooking Tory Island (16km by road and ferry) and near Glenveagh National Park (20km). GPS position 55°10.03’N, 008°00.22’W.

Why

  • Firstly, I found here a beautiful, enchanting harmony of unspoilt scenery, tranquillity and a unique microcosm of Irish people and culture.

  • Secondly, I wanted to create an authentic, peaceful, comfortable and affordable venue for my guests so that they could experience a little of what makes me happy to live here.

  • Thirdly, after many years of travel and adventure I found my home.

The range of facilities includes:

 1. Luxury option. Six ensuite, Twin, Double and Family Rooms.

 2. Budget option Four Double and Dorm rooms (shared bathrooms).

 3. Camping - On the front lawn of the Mill Cottage beside the Mill stream. (Campers  have separate kitchen, showers and toilets).

 4. Meeting Rooms. There are two large workshop rooms perfectly suited for meetings/meditation/yoga etc.

 5. General

· Continental or hot cooked breakfast available if required.

  • Self-catering kitchen available.

  • No minimum-stay requirement, but we try to encourage our guests to stay at least 3 days.... because there's too much unspoilt scenery, outdoor activities and culture for just 1 or 2 days; our guests have a better holiday experience; it's better for the community and environment and it ensures a happier atmosphere in our house.

The 18c Mill House was totally renovated in 2000 and is renowned for its tranquillity, its warm hospitality (and we don't just mean the turf and log fires), its comfortable handmade wooden beds, our recycling policy, organic garden, and meditation sanctuaries, the sound of the Mill stream by day and the crashing of waves on Tramore beach by night. We have no TVs or Radios for entertainment. Our guests don’t need them! 

The property was once an important pre-Celtic site, said to be the energy centre for the whole Northwest of Ireland. It has 145, recorded, archaeological sites within an 8km radius. There are also 7 golden sandy beaches, New Lake Nature Reserve, Ards Forest Park with its nature trails, the 180m (600ft) Horn Head sea cliffs and historic Doe Castle; within the same radius, (not to mention the many traditional music pubs, quality restaurants, visitor attractions and outdoor activities). Glenveigh National Park and Tory Island are also within easy reach.

Corcreggan Mill is an ideal venue for workshops, retreats and outdoor activities, which tend to take place off-season, when there are fewer tourists and the lake is full of migratory geese, duck and swans. This quieter time of year is also favoured by birdwatchers, writers, artists and photographers.

Corcreggan Mill... the perfect place for work, rest and play!
