Tullyarvan Mill is the perfect location to stay, relax and to explore the spectacular Inishowen Peninsula home to the main tourist trail, “The Inishowen 100”, which is rich and diverse in heritage, culture and natural archaeology. The stunning local beaches are only minutes away and ideal for swimming, fishing and surfing. Some of which present a fantastic viewing point for the Aurora Borealis/ Northern lights. The fun, seaside town of Buncrana is a 10-minute walk with a range of shops and pubs, many of which play live music. Tullyarvan Mill Tourism Hostel is only a 45 minutes’ drive from Letterkenny and 20 minutes’ drive from Derry City both with regular transportation routes.
The original building built in 1810 has been home to many ventures and industries for over 180 years. Tullyarvan Mill including the hostel is now a not-for-profit organisation and a registered charity so it’s nice to know that when you stay you are also making a direct contribution to the local community too!
