Our cottage is on the edge of a
Gaeltacht, one of the last
regions in Ireland where Irish is still spoken as a first language. It is a
popular holiday area for Europeans interested in Irish ecology and culture and
within easy reach of: Glenveagh
National Park - with its Victorian Gothic mansion and
extensive gardens Doe
Castle - a ruined 15th century MacSweeney castle
Slieve League the highests cliffs in Europe
Tory Island - renowned for its school of
primitive painters and dramatic cliffs Mount Errigal
as seen from the back of the house For more info: j.ten.dam@zonnet.nl
Location and
access to airports Our local airport is
Carrickfinn airport, which provides flights from Dublin and Glasgow. Our cottage is about an hour and a half from the border
with Northern Ireland, which is outside the city of Derry / Londonderry.
However, there are no border guards or customs, so you don't really notice when
you have crossed over (until you start seeing road signs in Irish, which means
you are in the Republic). It takes about five hours to drive northwest to
the cottage from Dublin airport. And it is a long day's drive north (5
hours ?), up the very picturesque west coast, from Shannon airport. For more info: j.ten.dam@zonnet.nl Contact us in Holland, at Email:
