Thank you 2024 for all the fun. And thank you to all our guests, our brilliant housekeeping team, laundry service and all those who have supported us. Wishing you all the best for 2025 💚.
It isn’t hard to find something to do in the beautiful wee village of Doochary, but if you need any tips, have a look at this 👀
Nanda's home cooking is a perfect stop off on the way to Dooey Beach. Open when the sign is out for delicious homemade cakes, soup, coffee and soda bread. Just past Elliott’s Bar, Meenagowan, Lettermacaward F94 VH76. 🍰 ☕️ 🍞 🥣
Happy World Oceans Day. Here are some seals enjoying themselves on the Wild Atlantic Way at Dooey Beach, Co. Donegal. 🦭 🌊 You’re welcome 😊
Have you watched Birdsong on RTÉ? It follows ornithologist Sean Ronayne’s mission to record every bird species in Ireland and is an amazing documentary. It inspired me to get out of bed at 4am and record Doochary’s Dawn chorus. All the birds calling “I’m still here!”
I’m rubbish at bird identification though and the app I downloaded didn’t work, so let me know if you recognise any (there’s definitely a cuckoo in the end clip though).
How striking is this new 🦅 addition to Doochary? This amazing sculpture by artist John Gillespie has been installed at the Corkscrew in partnership with Cumann Forbartha na Dúchoraidh, Doochary Tidy Towns. It celebrates the reintroduction of golden eagles to the Derryveagh Mountains, Glenveagh Nation Park, one of the few places in Ireland where nesting pairs can be found.
I love the way it has been positioned high on a rock, giving it a majestic feel and allowing you to walk around it and get different views. 😍
Happy Halloween! Still makes me giggle.
Just some of our favourite Donegal beaches (it is a long list)…

It is great to see @FintownRailway back open for the season. The railway was closed in the 1940s and this single carriage and a small section of track has been restored for visitor rides, mainly thanks to local volunteers. Keep an eye on https://www.facebook.com/fintownrailway for prices and train times.
Let me take you on a tour of the bedrooms. 💕 Happy weekend.
Merry Christmas to you all from The Old Garda Station, Doochary, Co. Donegal.
