Built circa 1780 Carricklee House has been in the Herdman family for five generations, since James Herdman first built the historic flax-spinning mill in Sion Mills in 1835. It stands in 5 acres of mature gardens overlooking the Finn River and the hills of Donegal. The stables, built by W F Unsworth
are registered as a historic building, and the surrounding garden and woodland provide delightful walks.

The house, which has been extended during the 1860's, is elegantly furnished to a high standard.

Carricklee is only 3 minutes from the main A5 road which is part of the North-West Passage tourist route which runs from Dublin to Donegal. It is surrounded by some of the world's best salmon rivers and has three 18 hole golf courses within 10 minutes drive. The many Championship links courses of Donegal are also very accessible.
