Doagh Famine Village

Can't recommend highly enough. Well done to all concerned 👌😎👏😋😍 Guides very knowledgeable, great craic and value for money. Would love to return when not so pressed for time. Beautiful scenery and stunning views. 😍👏🐕🚶‍♀️📸💪

Brilliant tour giving you a glimpse in to the past. Pat was a really engaging tour guide full of interesting information and humour too. Was great hearing his lived experience from growing up in one of the houses. Lovely cake or scone included in ticket price. Also the chance to taste some poitin! Magela was so friendly also and very welcoming. Would give more stars if I could. Thank you!

This is a must see when in Donegal. Fantastic storytelling of life in rural Donegal by former resident Pat. Incredible to think he resided in the cottage we toured, until 1984 when the government deemed it “not fit for living!” A lovely little gift shop with very good prices well below airport and city. A very cool hand sculpture to see as well. And an astonishingly beautiful view. THE RECENT FIRE HAS NOT STOPPED AN EXCELLENT TOUR OR HURT THE EXPERIENCE. The village is raising money to rebuild. Agree with comments that this is not really about the famine per se. More about rural life near the sea.

This place needs your support, thy had a fire and it destroyed part of the village, but don't be put off, there is still alot to hear and learn about the old times in Ireland. It's a family run business and what they tell you is from their own experience. They grew up in the house they tell you about. They also have seaside delights for you to taste, and to finish of the tour you get a cup of tea or coffee, a slice of cake or a scone to see youse of on the rest of your journey, all included in the price.

It was a very pleasant and informative experience that was at times humorous. We learned about oysters, seaweed, homemade alcohol, elderly advice, economics, religion, buildings, history and wakes. If that is not enough, you also get drinks and a dessert with the price of admission. Beautiful coastal views as well. Must do to learn about Ireland in a few hours.

An amazing experience and well worth the visit. Sadly it burnt down a few days after our visit and I wish them all well in getting it up and running again because it's a unique place and I'd highly recommended it 👌

A great visit. We got to learn about life during the famine and much much more. Well worth the entry fee. 12.8 2025

Great place we made a flying visit just to show our support following the fire. Nice to see Pat and Marjella getting so many visitors. Can't wait to get back up when the work is completed on the new part.
