The White House is a spacious property with a large garden, praised for its location and comfort. Guests enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, games room, and the warm atmosphere once heated. The property's privacy and proximity to local amenities were appreciated, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Most guests found the property clean and well-maintained, though one review mentioned the need for TLC outside and issues with cleanliness upon arrival. The positive experiences suggest a generally high standard of cleanliness.
The property's location is highly praised for its privacy, beautiful views, and convenience to local attractions and amenities in Drumshanbo and Carrick-on-Shannon. It is considered an ideal spot for exploring the area.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the house warm once heated. However, one review mentioned a small double room and issues with heating upon arrival, slightly lowering the comfort score.
Facilities like the kitchen and games room are well-received, but there are mixed reviews regarding maintenance issues such as heating, lighting, and shower functionality. The overall experience with facilities is good, but there is room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
Set down a quiet lane on an elevated site, 500m from the center Drumshanbo, in the heart of County Leitrim, is this substantial, two-storey detached property, The White House. Set within large grounds within a gated entrance, The White House is a wonderful place to call home for a family seeking a stay in this scenic region of Ireland. After parking up, head inside and make yourself at home in the lounge, with plenty of windows to fill the space with natural lighting, two sofas, an open fire and a TV for entertainment. Carry the conversation into the kitchen/diner, where the head chef can impress the group with a hearty meal, whilst the rest of the group set the dining table for a feast. While away the hours in the games room with pool table, challenging each to pool and entertaining into the night, or escape to the large garden, boasting a secret woodland area housing a treehouse, sure to be appreciated by the little ones. Head upstairs and freshen up in the bathroom, providing choice of bath or shower over, before choosing from three tasteful bedrooms to lay your rest; the master offers a sumptuous double with en-suite shower, whilst there are also two twin rooms. Head into the town centre of Drumshanbo, home to a selection of amenities including independent shops, convenience stores, pubs, cafes and restaurants. Take a tour of the renowned Shed Distillery, where you can learn about the gin-making process and sample the world-class Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin. Head south to the bustling town of Carrick-on-Shannon, known as the ‘marina capital of Ireland’, providing an attractive focal point of the town, plus there is lots of history to uncover with a visit to the unusual Costello Chapel, which is believed to be the smallest chapel in Europe. Other attractions worth adding to your list include the Lough Key Forest and Activity Park for zip-wiring and bmx riding and the coastal delights, beaches and stunning scenery of Couny Sligo. Escape to Drumshanbo for an exceptional family holiday.

The house was large and very comfortable and had excellent facilities. The huge garden was a plus (we had nice weather so was a bonus). It is very close to town, a short walk, although it is up a hill just fyi. The location is perfect, so many walks and lakes in close distance. I cant think of any negatives at all. Would definitely recommend.
