Inishowen Artists’ Retreat and Studio
An artists’ retreat providing creative holiday experiences in a beautiful Irish cottage and studio in Donegal.
Set in beautiful Inishowen
We are in the centre of Inishowen, in the hills outside Carndonagh, County Donegal with easy access to ancient woodland, the coast, peatland and farming landscapes.
Not far from Malin Head, you can gain inspiration from some of the Atlantic coast’s best kept secrets.
Experience a cosy, Irish cottage
Your accommodation is a stone cottage dating back to before 1830. It is perfectly suited to small groups of creative friends or a family of four.
There are two twin bedrooms, a small, modern shower room, a cosy self-catering living area and a studio.
We finished a complete renovation of the cottage in June 2022.
A range of possibilities
We’re not far from Wild Ireland and Wild Alpaca Way and close to the start of the Wild Atlantic Way, with it’s 2,500km of spectacular coastline.
We also offer tailor-made experiences including yoga, spa visits, speciality chefs, guided heritage trails, art trails, surfing and watersports.
Discover your inner creativity
With a studio attached to the cottage, we offer optional tuition for for individuals, families, small groups of creatives, professionals and amateur artists wishing to improve their painting skills in a working studio with expert tuition from local artist Sinéad Smyth.
