Holiday Home Bunbeg

About the area

Tir na Nog is located in the popular area of Bunbeg, within the picturesque county of Donegal, and is the ideal base from which to explore the North West of Ireland. Our house is a ten minute drive from Donegal airport, which has regular flights to and from Dublin and Prestwick.

For those interested in golf there are a number of high quality 9- and 18-hole courses within a short drive of Bunbeg. Our house is in an ideal location to access these courses and many others (please see related links page).

Carrickfinn beach is one of the eleven beaches in County Donegal to have been awarded the Blue Flag. It is an extensive sandy beach and is set in Gweedore Bay which is a Natural Heritage Area. The bay is approximately five minutes away by car.

Off the coast can be found the islands of Tory, Gola, and Inisbofin which can be accessed via a pleasant boat trip.

The area provides anglers with superb locations for salmon, trout, course and sea fishing. Permits are available locally (please see related links page). 

Visitors to our house won’t be able to miss Mount Errigal, one of the highest peaks in Ireland. The mountain, surrounded by the stunning Glenveagh National Park, is a ten minute drive away. The National Park provides dramatic views and varied walks.

The attractions of this area are not limited to daytime and there are various fine restaurants in which to enjoy a meal. In the evenings there is live music to be found in the local pubs, many of which play host to traditional music sessions throughout the summer.

The famous Leo’s Tavern - the home of Clannad and Enya -  is about half a mile away. There is music on offer nightly  and food is served at the bar.
