Teach Roise - Bunbeg

Traditionally styled cottage located in the heart of the west Donegal Gaeltacht and only 5 mins drive from the little fishing harbour at Bunbeg. The cottage features a half-door to the front, white wash finish to interior walls, native stone fireplace, old style bathtub and traditional wooden ceiling beams. Built in recent times, this four bedroom holiday home combines all the best aspects of country living with modern comforts, while also taking great advantage of the surrounding scenic landscape.

The cottage is an ideal base to explore the natural beauty of West Donegal. Local activities in the Bunbeg area include fishing (freshwater and deep sea), golf,  swimming and  hill walking - Errigal and the Derryveagh mountains are only 15 minutes drive away. There are a number of fine beaches in the locality. A trip to one of the local islands - Gola, Tory or Inishbofin - is a great way to spend a day.

Teach Roíse is located in the heart of Donegal's main Gaeltacht area - enabling the visitor to absorb the culture and heritage of this unique region where Irish is still the main everyday language.

Some of the main attractions in this part of Donegal include the magnificent Glenveigh National Park and the family orientated Dunlewey Lakeside Centre. (Ionad Coise Locha)

Ionad Cois Locha

Dún Lúiche, a small rural community in the Donegal Gaeltacht, lies in unique scenery at the foot of Mount Errigal. Ionad Cois Locha is a heritage centre founded and run by local people, which explores aspects of the tradition of this part of Donegal including traditional music and the Irish language. Among the activities available at Ionad Cois Locha are boat trips on Dunlewey Lake, storytelling, a children's petting zoo, tweed weaving demonstrations as well as a lake side footpath
