Dating back more than 200 years, this detached stone-built bungalow is set on a working farm amid beautiful County Sligo countryside. It’s just 2 miles from Ballysadare village and 6 miles from Strandhill – where Knocknarea Mountain overlooks the mighty Atlantic Ocean – and this cottage offers true home-from-home comfort after a day of discovery in Yeats Country. Visit Strandhill’s cosy pubs for craft beer, tasty treats and traditional music, play a round of golf at the village’s challenging 18-hole links course or simply enjoy a stroll on the sands that form part of the Wild Atlantic Way’s surf coast. With the coast to the west and lush lakelands to the east, Sligo town buzzes all year round with a calendar of festivals and a thriving food scene. Venturing 11 miles north, Ben Bulben is an arresting sight, with sheer sides and a flat top that have earned it the moniker Sligo’s Table Mountain.
The warmest of welcomes awaits at this characterful rural retreat – step inside and you’ll find all the comforts of home plus a welcome pack to help you settle in. The country-style kitchen has all the essentials for a fuss-free stay, and dual-aspect windows that allow in lots of lovely natural light and fresh air. Enjoy food and refreshments at the table in the nearby lounge, then stretch out on your choice of armchair or sofa for an evening in front of the TV – the brick-clad open fire will add a warm glow to gatherings in the cooler months. When it’s time to sleep, the bedroom is adjacent and offers ultimate flexibility with both a single and a double bed. Thoughtful finishing touches add to the creature comforts here, while the en-suite bathroom ensures convenience for all.
Enjoy al fresco feasts and fresh country air in your pretty, private garden or unwind with a countryside stroll – the cottage is in a peaceful, scenic location with lovely walks on the doorstep.
