The most northerly point on the Irish mainland, a dramatic headland on the Inishowen Peninsula where the Wild Atlantic Way begins or ends.
Malin Head sits at the tip of the Inishowen Peninsula in north Donegal, in the townland of Ardmalin, and is either the first or last stop on the Wild Atlantic Way depending on which direction you are travelling. It is a remote, weather-beaten headland rather than a town, with the small, tidy village of Malin itself, built around a triangular green, a few kilometres back down the peninsula.
A B&B out here suits travellers doing the Inishowen 100 scenic drive or anyone after proper wild coastal scenery and dark, clear night skies away from any large town. The headland is a short, easy walk from end to end, and the drama is in the setting: cliffs, Atlantic swells and long views out over open water.
The head itself has a longer history than its wild appearance suggests. A signal tower was built here in 1805 by the British Admiralty as a lookout against a feared French invasion during the Napoleonic Wars, and the headland later hosted a coastal watch during the Second World War. Malin Head is also one of the sea areas named in the BBC Shipping Forecast, and the working weather station here still reports today. More recently, the headland appeared as a filming location for Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2017.

Booking White Strand B&B direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
White Strand B&B holds a 3-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
