4 of a Kind: Charming three-bed bungalows across Ireland

This week, we visit Galway, Wexford and Donegal

Lettermacaward, Co Donegal, –€530,000

This home offers two charming thatched cottages called Tar Ar Aís (Come Again) and Fan Tamaíll (Stay Awhile) that are set side by side in scenic Lettermacaward in Co Donegal. Blending traditional character with modern comfort, both cottages include oil-fired central heating, vaulted ceilings, open fires and dual-aspect rooms. Each property provides three bedrooms (one with en suite bathroom), a well-equipped kitchen and a family bathroom. The house has private gardens and beautiful sea views. 

Cottage Two also benefits from a bright sunroom overlooking Traighenna Bay. Just 4km from Dooey Green Flag Beach and 6km from Dungloe, these cottages have operated successfully as holiday rentals but are equally suited for multi-generational living or a coastal retreat. Offered together, with the option for individual sale, they present an exceptional investment or lifestyle opportunity in West Donegal.
