Great wood-fired pizza in Dunfanaghy. Can be extremely busy in summer, but pizza really good. Maybe not ideal for kids as usually quite a wait for food.

Sightseeing
The most beautiful beach is on your doorstep! Take a right at the bottom of the road and keep left - a 3 minute drive! Beautiful for walks and a paddle. If a long walk is what you're after, do the loop! A walk from the house to the beach, walk the length of the beach and take the road up by the Pier and back to the house again. Should take about 2 hours - well worth it. Pristine beach with stunning views of Tory. Ray river runs into the Atlantic here.
