The Snug - Dunkineely

“The Snug” offers 2 separate luxury holiday apartments located off the Main Street in Dunkineely .  This is a lovely seaside location with great beaches, stunning scenery and opportunities for enjoying outdoor activities.  From the house there are wonderful views of the sea and mountains ( and an island!) .

In our renovations we have provided a 2-bed unit upstairs  and a completely separate 1-bed unit downstairs.  Entrances are at opposite ends of the property.  Both offer a very high standard of pet friendly holiday accommodation in a wonderful location.

Dunkineely has a coastal setting in South Donegal on the road between Donegal Town and Killybegs and the holiday apartments enjoys fantastic sea views. Dunkineely is also situated at the entrance to the dramatic St John’s Peninsula that juts out into Donegal Bay. 

Great Touring Base for South West Donegal

The Snug is 5km from Inver, 8 km from the busy seaside town of  Killybegs, 12 km from  Mountcharles, 16 km from historic Donegal Town and  19km from the Heritage Town of Ardara. It is an ideal base to tour the magnificent scenery of South West Donegal. The holiday home is also within an hours drive of Letterkenny, Glenveigh National Park, 'Yeats Country' in Sligo and the Fermanagh Lakelands. 

There are a number of excellent restaurants throughout the locality including the award winning Castle Murray House Hotel. The holiday home is 1km away from this fine hotel which also makes it an attractive accommodation option for those attending weddings in this popular establishment

The holidayapartments are surrounded by peaceful country roads and lanes – making it ideal walking, jogging and cycling terrain. Lying to the north of the holiday home are the Bluestack Mountains, which occupy most of central and south west Donegal. The  Bluestack Way passes through this mountain range. This is a Waymarked Way, designed to traverse the Bluestacks using existing roadways, paths and tracks to lead the walkers through the mountains in a safe and sustainable manner.
