Donegal Cottage Holidays Home Page

Teach Minnie Beag

Teach Minnie Beag is a beautiful 3-bedroom holiday home located in the Carraickmagarvey townland of Derrybeg in West Donegal. From its location, this beautiful self-catering accommodation enjoys views over Port Arthur Beach towards the rugged coastline and offshore islands.

The Gaeltacht Way

Slí an Earagail - part of Bealach na Gaeltachta (The Gaeltacht Way) - passes close to the holiday cottage. This is long distance walking route (approx 60kms) developed to the standard of a National Waymarked Way and encompasses mountain, riverside, seaside and forest habitats. Most sections of Slí an Earagail are on track and minor roads.

Teach Jack

The cottage is only a 2-minute drive from Teac Jack's in nearby Glassagh.. Here the visitor can take part in the 'ceol', 'caint' agus 'craic'  and absorb a traditional Irish music seisiún, or join in the Ceili Dancing  - not forgetting of course to sample the excellent bar food.

Derrybeg

The village of Derrybeg itself lies on Donegal's west coast in the heart of the Irish-speaking Gweedore Gaeltacht. Staying at Bun an Inver Cottage will let the visitor absorb the culture and heritage of this unique region where Irish is still the main everyday language.

Ideal Base for Exploring West Donegal

The holiday home is an ideal base to explore the beautiful coastline of West Donegal. Errigal and the Derryveagh mountains are only a 15-minute drive away. The Dunlewey Lakeside Centre is a similar distance by car and boasts an exciting historical display of local crafts, trips on the lake and play facilities for children. The Gweedore 9-hole Golf Club is only 10 minutes from door of the holiday home and fishing in the local lakes and rivers is a popular local activity.
