The salt tang of Lough Foyle carries up to this snug stopover perched on the edge of the Inishowen Peninsula, where the hills roll down to meet the water and seabirds wheel above the harbour below.

This suits walkers tackling the Inishowen 100 or couples exploring Donegal's wild northernmost finger, with both traditional B&B rooms in the guest house and a camping pod for those who want their own space but a proper bed after a day on the headlands. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing a four-legged companion. The village itself — all stone piers and fishing boats — sits right on your doorstep, with coastal paths and the ruins of the old fort a short stroll away.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so best to check what's where when you book. Campfires are a maybe — ask on arrival. It's open year-round, which makes it a rare gem if you're chasing winter seascapes or off-season quiet. Greencastle has that end-of-the-road stillness, the kind of place you hear the tide before you see it.
