Fabulous hosts. The best equipped property we have ever stayed in which makes such a huge difference to a stay. Probably one of the best weeks away we have ever had. My wife grew up in the area & raved about it's beauty for so long. I was blown away by the different landscapes to explore. We hope to return soon.

Quiet but close to Kinlough town and Sligo/Donegal coast. All facilities (except wi-fi & poor phone signals) excellent - cosy bedrooms, a well stocked kitchen and even fire-making materials. A warm personal welcome and a perfect getaway.
