The Cow Shed at Neadú is a cosy, rustic converted byre situated on our property in a very tranquil scenic area.
The view from the cottage looks towards the beautiful Glendowan mountains and Glenveagh National Park.

The space
The cottage consists of an open plan living, dining and kitchenette area with a double sleeping mezzanine above.
There is a small bathroom with an electric shower.
The kitchenette contains an electric hob, a small combination convection oven, microwave and grill and a small fridge.
Guests have access to a washing machine in an adjacent outbuilding.
The space is heated by a wood-burning stove with fuel provided.
The guest cottage has a private garden, seating area and barbeque to the rear.
As the byre was originally part of a small farm, our own traditional cottage sits on the same site.

The Hide is a cosy, handcrafted cabin nestled on a slope at the opposite end of our house from the cottage.
The Birdbox is our little handcrafted treehouse nestled in mature trees behind The Cow Shed.

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, CO DONEGAL, Ireland

We are centrally located in a beautiful part of Donegal, close to most of its attractions.
The cottage is nestled in a valley 3km 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 pubs.

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.

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!
