About this property
Ballysadare 1 mile. Situated close to the small town of Ballysadare in County Sligo is this cosy semi-detached cottage, attached to the owners’ home and small livestock farm where you can enjoy a true slice of rural life. This lovely cottage has been lovingly furnished and decorated to offer guests a home away from home, whilst exploring the wonders of County Sligo. This delightful cottage comprises two comfortable bedrooms, a welcoming sitting room and a fitted kitchen with a dining area, where you can enjoy home-cooked meals with your loved ones.

The small but vibrant town of Ballysadare straddles the Owenmore River providing superb fishing opportunities for both experienced and amateur anglers and is home to a few shops and pubs. Just over four miles away is the bustling town of Sligo, home to gourmet eateries, traditional pubs and laid back coffee houses. Sligo lies on Ireland’s stunning Wild Atlantic Way and is famed for its sandy beaches that are set against the backdrop of Benbulben and Knocknarea Mountains. With plenty of activities and attractions for all ages, Sligo is the perfect choice for a getaway in the north west of Ireland. Why not take a hike along Queen Maeve's Trail, which takes you to the top of Knocknarea where the queen is buried with what can only be described as spectacular views along the ascent followed by a spot of lunch in Strandhill? Other attractions include seaweed baths, surfing, Model Arts Centre, Carrowkeel Megalithic Tombs, and boat cruises on Lough Gill. From Sligo the wonders and delights of County Mayo and Donegal are within easy reach and certainly worth a visit! A wonderful place to begin your Irish adventures.

The house was so clean, warm and cosy. The kitchen was well stocked with pots pans, crockery & utensils. Beautiful views from front of house, quiet & peaceful, just off the N4, so easy to get to places. Loved the donkeys & geese just beside her house. Would highly recommend

She had left bread, milk, butter, etc., in the fridge for us to get us started, and had even set a fire ready to light, if needed. The cottage was clean and well-equipped with everything needed for our stay there. The fact that we could bring our little dog was an added bonus. Anne's husband Tommy and son Thomas, were also so helpful when we didn't know how to work the television. Last, but not least, the views from the cottage were spectacular, and it was only a short drive into Sligo town. We would certainly go back to this accommodation, and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. Evelyn and Bernard Brennan
