Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
The Hide at Neadú is a cosy, handcrafted cabin nestled on a slope on our property with stunning views towards Glenveagh National Park.
Just fifteen minutes drive from The Wild Atlantic Way makes The Hide ideal for a peaceful retreat or a great base for exploring Donegal.

The space
The cabin is a cosy, self contained space, designed and made by Pete to make the most of our beautiful mountain views.
We have both enjoyed decorating the space with as many handcrafted, reclaimed and up-cycled items as possible.
As you enter The Hide you will find a wood burning stove in the centre of the cabin, alcove double bed with curtains and blinds to the right and a small bathroom behind the bed.
A couch against the centre back wall allows guests to enjoy the fire and the tranquil views through the double doors onto the deck.
To the left is the kitchen area with a four ring electric hob, combined oven, grill and microwave and fridge with freezer compartment.
Guests have access to a washing machine and dryer in a nearby outbuilding.
The space is heated by the wood-burning stove with fuel provided.
The private decked area with seating, table and barbecue is to the front.
Guest access is via a private gravel path behind our own traditional cottage which leads to the cabin.

If The Hide is unavailable for the dates you are interested in, please check out our other listings.
The Cow Shed is a little converted byre at the opposite end of our house from the cabin.
The Birdbox is our little handcrafted treehouse nestled in mature trees behind The Cow Shed.

Guest access
A walk of nearly forty metres down a gravel and stepped path brings you to our little grass roofed cabin.
This leads you behind our own traditional cottage but is guest's own private path.
There is access to a washing machine and dryer in an adjacent outhouse.

Other things to note
While a car is a great way to see the county, if you visit without one and enjoy hiking or cycling, there is much exploring that you can do from our doorstep. We can provide maps of the locality to get you started.

We live in a Gaeltacht area rich in traditional Irish culture such as language, music and the arts. There is a wide choice of traditional music available in local pubs
Donegal also has a wealth of festivals throughout the year such as the Errigal Arts Festival, attracting many renowned Irish and International artists to the area.

Taking a 15 minute drive from our house will connect you with The Wild Atlantic Way coastal drive.

Where you’ll be

Fintown, Donegal, Ireland

We are centrally located in a beautiful part of Donegal, close to most of its attractions.
The cabin is nestled in a valley 3 km from the scenic village of Fintown.
The river Finn is known widely for its salmon and trout fishing and permits are available locally for fly-fishing.
In Fintown village, you will find the only operational narrow gauge railway in Donegal. It runs for 5 km beside Lough Finn, which is overlooked by Aghla and Scraig mountains.
The local village has pubs, a church, school, health centre and library.
Please note that we are not within easy walking distance of a pub.

The towns of Glenties, Dungloe, Ballybofey and Letterkenny are 15 minutes, 15 minutes, 25 minutes and 30 minutes drives respectively.
There you will find restaurants, pubs and supermarkets.

There are many stunning beaches within a 30 minute drive, offering beautiful walks and a choice of sports such as kayaking, surfing, golf and horse-riding, all of which we can help you to organise.

Business
We moved to Donegal eighteen years ago and converted our traditional byre and stone cottage where we now happily live with our two children. In 2016 Pete completed our second little rental, The Hide, followed a few years later by The Birdbox. We call our little collection of spaces Neadú which is the Irish word for nestle and love the fact that we can be more self sufficient, working from home while meeting all the lovely people who visit us. We look forward to welcoming you to one of the most beautiful, unspoilt parts of Ireland!
