The Hardy Bucks cottage
Filming Location in Swinford, Mayo, Ireland
This is the cottage where Buzz McDonnell and Eddie Durkan live in the Irish comedy series Hardy Bucks.
It is situated in Culmore, Mayo.
Throughout most of the show, Buzz and Eddie live in this small house outside of Swinford. However, in the TV series, Swinford is known as Castletown.
The cottage is owned by Buzz's aunt.
This is the spot where the group attempts to set up an Internet cafe. It is also the place where Buzz's convict cousin holds them hostage.
Eddie lives here up until the start of Season 4, when he decides to move out and get an apartment with his girlfriend Ciara.
Sadly, the property was badly damaged by a fire in August 2022.

As a result, the location might look slightly different today.

Buzz tries out a new routine after reading an article on how to hang upside down. Unfortunately, he fails to read the part about how to release himself.
Overgrown

Inside
Recent TikTok videos show that the inside of the house wasn't in great shape before the fire.
Pieces of insulation were hanging from the living room ceiling. Broken furniture and plasterboard were also scattered throughout the rooms of the house.
Fire
In August 2022, the house was badly damaged by a fire, which is believed to have been started by vandals.
Judging by photographs on social media, it seems as though the living room area and the roof were completely destroyed.
