An Tearmann - Bunbeg

This traditional cottage is set in a remote area of Gweedore with beautiful views of the Atlantic coastline. Surrounded by mature trees and a stream running through the back garden it is a tranquil place in which to relax, unwind and refresh. Although an original Donegal cottage it has been fully refurbished, offering all the convenience of modern living, but in a setting where time will stand still. The incredible surrounding landscape offers breathtaking views, or for the more adventurous, invigorating and stimulating walks.

Surrounding Area

Nestled in the Donegal landscape, only 15 minutes drive to Errigal, a few minutes drive from Teach Jacks pub, and a few minutes drive to the beaches of Bunbeg and Magheraroarty, and only 20 mins drive from Donegal airport.

All this within striking distance of the towns of Letterkenny or a little further, Donegal town. It is definitely a small piece of Donegal paradise.
