! The patio and around the front door needed a tidy and a brush to keep that being brought into the living area? Owners were friendly and helpful and didn't mind our 3 dogs which we groomed every day to limit hairs on floors

You can't see in the pictures but it is attached to another house. The rooms were great, the kitchen was massive and it had a lovely view. We sat in front of the massive windows looking at the stars and one night watch8ng a storm. Rosaleen was great, told us how to work everything. She checked in a few times to make sure we didn't need anything. She also made sure we had tea and cake when we arrived which was lovely too. It was close to all the sites we wanted to go to. Only half an hour from Sligo but we mostly went to Carrick-on-Shannon which was also beautiful. Overall it was a great place to stay
