Bus Eireann offers 2-hourly bus services from Dublin Airport to Donegal Town or Letterkenny. From there take a McGeehan Coach directly to Glenties (3 times daily) or use the reasonably priced local taxis to get to the farm.
'Eco' holiday apartments means:
Warm water is created for the underfloor heating and household use by a wood gasifier. Timber for this is sourced locally or from our own forests which are managed according to a so called permanent cover regime. We are committed to use ecological cleaning and personal hygiene products and encourage our guests to do so. A waste sorting system is in place and encouraged. Ingredients for our meals are as much as possible local and seasonal. Meals can be booked by our guests or organic produce ordered from our farm shop in Glenties.
