DM Executive Line runs private, door-to-door chauffeur transfers between Dublin Airport or Dublin City and Letterkenny in County Donegal. It’s a three-hour journey north, and you’ll make it in a Mercedes-Benz MPV with a certified professional driver and capacity for 6 checked suitcases - handy if you’re travelling as a group or arriving with plenty of gear.
Your chauffeur meets you at your hotel reception and takes you directly to your destination. There are no shared vehicles, no drop-off detours, and the price is fixed from the start with no surprises on arrival. DM Executive Line also operates from all major Irish airports, so this works for departures as well as arrivals.
Letterkenny is the largest town in County Donegal and the natural base for exploring the northwest. The three-hour drive from Dublin heads north through Monaghan and into Donegal, and the landscape changes noticeably as you cross into the county - the hills get bigger, the roads get quieter, and Lough Swilly appears to the northwest as you approach the town.
Glenveagh National Park is about 25 kilometres northwest of Letterkenny. It covers nearly 16,000 hectares of blanket bog, mountain, and woodland around Lough Veagh, and the Victorian castle sitting at the water’s edge is one of the more dramatic buildings in the country. The gardens behind the castle were developed over decades and are surprisingly lush given the exposure. Buses run from Letterkenny to the park visitor centre in summer.
The Fanad Head Lighthouse is around 50 kilometres from Letterkenny. It sits on the northern tip of the Fanad Peninsula between Lough Swilly and Mulroy Bay, and it’s been standing since 1817. The drive up the peninsula alone is worth doing - it passes through small coastal villages and along cliff roads with views out to Malin Head and the open Atlantic.
Donegal town is about 70 kilometres south of Letterkenny if you want to extend your stay. It’s a compact town built around a central diamond, with the ruins of Donegal Castle overlooking the River Eske. The craft shop at Magee of Donegal - the town’s traditional tweed makers - is still worth a stop if you’re interested in local textile traditions.
