Donegal
We are open to all offers.
The house in Donegal is our holiday home - we live in Dublin - but it is very well equipped because it is used it a lot by family and friends as well as us. It is a 2 storey house with a big garden and a narrow vehicular entrance off-street to the side. On the ground floor there are 2 double bedrooms, a study/computer area (with another pull-out double-bed), a bathroom and utility area. Upstairs there is a kitchen-diner, a bathroom, 1 double bedroom and a large sitting-room. So 6 can sleep in bedrooms - and if necessary 2 more can sleep on a pull-out bed (but its not private!.)
The house does not have a fixed/permanent internet connection. We use our mobile phones when using the computer here (there's also a printer). We can provide a mobile phone with internet access for your stay if needed. The house has TV, DVD player and satellite channels (UK, IRL, DE).
The house was originally built in 1908 but has recently been fully refurbished. It is located on the main street of a small town, Ballybofey, within walking distance of all the town's services and amenities. It is an ideal location from which to visit and tour Donegal, the north/west of Ireland, Northern Ireland and the Wild Atlantic Way. We are able to exchange for up to 4 weeks.
Unfortunately due to a cat allergy we are unable to exchange with people who have cats.

About the neighborhood
Our house in an area ideal for visiting the North-West of Ireland and areas of Northern Ireland. If you love the outdoors then Donegal is the place for you. Less than 2.5km from the house there is a golf course (www.ballybofeyandstranorlargolfclub.ie) and tennis courts ( www.butthalltennis.com). There is also a 25m swimming pool with a gymnasium in the local athletics club 1.5km away (www.finnvalleycentre.com) The river Finn flows nearby which divides 2 towns known as the Twin Towns into Ballybofey and Stranorlar. This is a great river for salmon and trout fishing as well as beautiful walks in a small forested area that lies beside the river.
The town lies on the route of the Wild Atlantic Way (www.wildatlanticway.com). Donegal is a beautiful county (National Geographic voted it the coolest place on the planet to visit in 2017), it is amazing for hill-walking, we have incredible sandy beaches and the highest sea cliffs in Europe at Slieve League (www.govisitdonegal.com)
Malin Head, the most northerly point in Ireland is less than 100km with the City of Derry in Northern Ireland being about half that distance. The Giant's Causeway is approximately 115km and Belfast is 157km away (www.visit-belfast.com)
As we are located in the town, we have all the convenience of supermarkets, banks etc on our doorstep. Beaches are located from approximately 30km away although our favourite one at Rossnowlagh is slightly further at 45km which is great for surfing.
If you like Culture, the Balor Theatre holds various productions throughout the year as does An Griannan theatre in nearby Letterkenny
Glenveagh National Park and castle with it's Golden eagles and red deer is 40km (www.glenveaghnationalpark.com).

Unsere Tauschpartner konnten wir bereits vorher treffen für den Schlüsselaustausch und ein kurzes Kennenlernen. Es war eine sehr herzliche Begegnung und ebenso unser schriftlicher Kontakt per Mail und WhatsApp war freundlich und unkompliziert. Auch dass Molony's uns nach unserem Ballybofey-Aufenthalt noch ihre Dubliner Wohnung zur Verfügung gestellt haben, war sehr großzügig! Sogar ein Parkticket sowie Karten für die Nutzung des Nahverkehrs wurden uns kostenfrei ermöglicht. Vielen Dank nochmals. Irland hat uns sehr gefallen und wir haben wundervolle Tage im County Donegal verbracht. Die Einrichtung der Wohnung entsprach den Fotos, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und dekoriert, jedoch hätten wir etwas mehr Sauberkeit erwartet. Das Angebot Lebensmittelvorräte zu verwenden, fanden wir sehr großzügig. Wir nahmen dies jedoch nicht in Anspruch, da Vieles das Verfallsdatum über Jahre bereits überschritten hatte. Die Betten waren bequem. Irland ist unbedingt eine Reise wert! ☘️💚 Wir sagen THANKS und wünschen den Molony's alles Gute! Ihr seid herzlich willkommen, wenn ihr wiedermal in Deutschland weilt.

Our Family
Dominic is a Civil Engineer and Elizabeth works in Local Government. We have 3 adult sons aged 33, 31 and 30 but they no longer live with us. We have done many exchanges in the past but family commitments meant we had to take a break for a few years. Our first exchange was in 2001 and our most recent one was to Córdoba, Spain in 2025.
As set out in our home description our youngest son lives in Berlin and we'd very much like the option of he and his girlfriend being able to join/visit us if we arrange an exchange in Germany but this is not essential. We visit Berlin a few times per year and would also be interested in exchanging there.
