Breac.House is a boutique guesthouse overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, perched on the Horn Head Peninsula in County Donegal, Ireland. This architect-designed guesthouse offers panoramic views of Sheephaven Bay and Muckish Mountain, providing guests with a tranquil escape amidst the rugged beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way. The property is enveloped by sea, cliffs, beaches, forests, and lakes, making it an ideal base for exploring the diverse landscapes of northwest Ireland.
The accommodation comprises four thoughtfully designed rooms, each reflecting the natural elements of the surrounding environment. Rooms feature custom-crafted oak beds, Irish-made luxury mattresses, pure Irish wool duvets, and handwoven Donegal tweed throws. Private terraces offer sweeping views, while handcrafted terrazzo bathrooms include rainmaker showers and bespoke bath products.
Breakfast at Breac.House is a curated experience delivered discreetly through a custom-built hatch in each room. Guests receive a selection of homemade bread, pastries, butter, and yoghurt, together with local produce such as organic smoked salmon and seasonal fruit, all served on handcrafted pottery. This thoughtful touch allows guests to enjoy a leisurely morning in the privacy of their rooms.
The guesthouse offers a range of facilities designed for relaxation and rejuvenation. Guests can unwind in the wood-fired, off-grid sauna or indulge in a private seaweed bath. The library and lounge areas provide cozy spaces to read or enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail. Complimentary bicycles, yoga mats, and picnic backpacks are available for guests wishing to explore the surrounding area. Activities include hiking along the cliffs of Horn Head, cycling through the countryside, or strolling to nearby beaches, such as Tramore. The property’s location also offers opportunities for birdwatching, surfing, and exploring local heritage sites.
Owners Cathrine Burke and Niall Campbell, former Dublin-based professionals, envisioned Breac.House as a place where guests could experience authentic Donegal hospitality. Their commitment to sustainability, local craftsmanship, and personalized service creates a unique and welcoming environment that reflects the spirit of the region.
