The Wild Atlantic way is on your doorstep which is perfect for cyclists and there is even the Sligo Camino. Tubbercurry has it's own trail, perfect for young families and dog walkers. It's a 20-25 minute drive into Sligo town up the famous N17 which has a theatre, cinema, shopping and historical sites of interest. Beyond that you are in wonderful Yeates country and it's breathtaking scenery, walks, waterfalls and the beautiful Lough Gill. The cottage is about 1 hour drive from the border with Northern Ireland where you can explore Fermanagh lakes or visit Beleek pottery. It takes 3 hours to drive from Belfast International airport or 3.5 hours from Dublin airport.

Lovely cottage

On arrival at the cottage it looked very tired compared to the pictures. The gate was all rusted, flacking paint on the front door, the gate was hanging off in parts and a large amount of weeds to the front. However, On entering the property it was lovely. Clean spacious and everything we needed for a few days. Kitchen well equipped and a good shower. The bedrooms a great size and ideal for a larger family too. Bed comfortable. The back garden really needed to be tended to as the weed theme continued to the back and an over grown garden. Whilst this was not a problem for us as we spent little time at the property, it could be for others especially if a family with kids and if a longer stay and more suitable garden furniture would be better ( chairs a little to low, but this is my personal preference). On balance we did enjoy the cottage it just needs a bit of TLC to the front and back and yes I would recommend it to others if you wish to stay in a ‘get a way from it all’ area. Lovely and peaceful and some nice views to the back. Good value for money.

Brilliant location - beaches not to far , mountains nearby for walking /climbing and mountain biking

It’s remote and hidden away which is what we like - beautiful old cottage and very snug if using it in colder weather . It was wonderful staying here .

About the host

Hosted by Sara

My family are from Co Sligo and we can trace our lineage for over 510 years!
I am the last of the family and maintaining a link to this area and sharing the magic of the West is something I want to ensure is passed on to my children - hence why we bought this cottage

Why they chose this property

It's in a perfect spot! Far enough from the town for privacy and in easy reach of everything you need

What makes this property unique

It is a traditional cottage and the type of dwelling my grandfather and his parents were raised in. The fireplace is magnificent and I bet there were many yarns told by the light of the fire. Irish fairies are known in these areas and if you take a photo and see a bluish/green light, you might just have caught one!
