    A little about our family
    We are a family of four. We have a 2 year old boy and our first child is an 8 year old boy and attends school close by. He loves lego, swimming, surfing and rambling outdoors. We’ve two small dogs and a farm cat. We work from home, though travel abroad occasionally. We love to cook for friends.

    About the area
    About half a kilometre from our home is a fantastic bakery & cafe. They bake all their own cakes and much more. There are also two restaurants and pubs, a shop, and a hotel right on the beach. Everything is within walking distance, but we also have electric bikes and a car for longer trips.

    A little Donegal
    “Donegal named coolest place on the planet by National Geographic” reported The Guardian newspaper in recent years. County Donegal is in the far northwest of Ireland. It’s a stunningly beautiful country with epic cliffs, beautiful beaches and some of the best hiking trails in Europe.
