The property includes main house, glamping pods, a shebeen, a céili room, a hot tub and ‘fairy walks’ on an acre of waterside groundsDating from 1895, what was a three-bedroom house is now a home with two much larger bedrooms alongside a bathroom upstairsThe vendors of this offering known as Shore House in Muff, Co Donegal, describe what they purchased in 2016 as “having needed 100 per cent restoration, including the foundations”.
As with all old houses, there’s always a bit of history attached, and its position at the edge of Lough Foyle on the border between Donegal and Northern Ireland means it has seen quite a bit over the course of its 129-year existence. After renovating they embarked on establishing an eco-glamping business which is also included in the asking price of €365,000, selling through Savills.
In addition there’s a shebeen, where guests can hang out, bring their own beer and have a game of pool. Then there’s the Wee Céili House, where there’s room for a jig or warmth from a roaring fire after long coastal walks. Water is from its own private well that has an expensive filtration treatment system, and there’s also a second kitchen and bathroom area for guests.
