Salthill Cabin
Salthill Cabin started as a family-run coffee shop, owned by Aisling and Andrew Chapman and situated in Mountcharles near the pier. Now, they have an animal pet area that visitors are free to explore. In the petting zoo, there are, guinea pigs, rabbits, emus, chickens, peacocks pigs, ducks, llamas, pigmy goats, tortoises and lots more!
The idea is to indulge in the speciality barista-made coffee while enjoying some of the freshly baked goods and snacks that are on offer, soak in the views of Donegal Bay whilst exploring the petting zoo and spending some time with the furry friends.
