Description
We are the McCadden's (Paul and Anna), we live up a mountain in Donegal, Ireland. We’ve both travelled the World and love to meet new people. We live on a small holding with pet sheep and cats ( hopefully other animals in the future). The main dwelling is a 200yr old stone, farmhouse with several stone outbuildings. The location is rural and remote, the views and nature are amazing. We are in the process of making some raised beds for vegetables, a compost bin and a simple wooden barn/ wood store and tidying the land. In the future we hope to make a chicken coop and tidy up the outbuildings. Everything is done by ourselves, with as much recycled stuff as we can find. We can offer you an authentic, Donegal mountain experience and at the end of a hard day you can enjoy hearty, home cooked food. We love to share our experiences and learn new skills. Our aim is to be as self sufficient and off grid as possible.
