The Hardy Bucks cottage
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 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.
