About this cottage rental
A secluded comfy 2 bedroom cottage with enclosed garden awaits you in the heart of the West Ireland - only 20 minutes drive from Knock Airport. Nestled under the Ox Mountains and under the shadow of the bronze age excavated hillfort of Knocknashee, the cottage is a 5 min drive from the famous Tubbercurry - musical town proud of its traditional music heritage and friendly community. The cottage is a peaceful bolt hole with 2 bedrooms (1 double bed and 1 bunk bed & 1+1 guest bed). The living room has a traditional stone fire place and there is a very large fully furnished kitchen leading into the garden. There is a basic small shower room and WC and utility area. The cottage is heated by oil boiler (replaced in January 2023) with new 20 litre water storage.
The location is perfect for a relaxing break for couples or family or lone travellers. It is in easy reach of the River Moy for fishing, Ballina town, surfer beaches of Strand hill,Easkey and Enniscrone. 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.

The location and accommodations are wonderful but the pdf instructions from the owner appear to be out-dated and a little confusing. The directions state that guests need to replace wood or peat used for the tiny stove in the living room - but there were no instructions on where to obtain the replacement fuel. It also seemed unreasonable to ask guests to take their garbage away with them (not just place in a bin outside, but take it away from the premises), and to check the electric meter upon arrival and departure so as to pay for the electricity used. Those sorts of services should just be included in the overall price of the stay in my opinion. Despite those slight confusions, we enjoyed our stay in the cottage and found the wildlife (birds and a fox) enchanting. The nights were extremely peaceful and the surroundings picturesque!

This was a lovely, memorable stay for our family. The cottage was very comfortable and warm. Good sofa and good beds and a nice kitchen. It is beside a dairy farm but it is very quiet and our wee one loved seeing the cows. Ideal for anyone looking for beautiful views and peace and quiet.

This cottage was absolutely perfect! Cozy and clean. A well equipped kitchen. We made several day trips to Sligo, the Aran Islands, and most of the Wild Atlantic Way. Yes, it was a drive…but this cottage was so comfy to come back to each night!

We stayed five days and had a good time. We had everything what we needed...

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.

Quintessential, lovely Irish cottage is set among green pastures and mountain views. Loved the combination of traditional charm and modern convenience in the cottage, which was very clean and thoughtfully equipped. Back garden has a variety beautiful interesting fauna and is so pretty and private. Sara is an amazing host--clear directions and instructions as well as great recommendations for local restaurants, sights, and music. Sara also went above and beyond to arrange the return of a bag we left behind. If you are looking for a quiet, restful space in a beautiful part of Ireland, stay at this cottage--you will love it!

A lovely stay in Sara's cosy cottage. Within striking distance of Tubbercurry, but still very rural. Enjoy the silence and serenity after spending the day sightseeing!
Thanks for a lovely stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cute and cosy cottage which was still spacious enough to accommodate my wife, myself and our four sons. Well situated for trips to the coast (we visited Standhill, Ross Strand and Mullaghmore) there is also much to explore if the weather is not so good e.g. National Museum of Country Life, King House and one of our favourites the seaweed baths at Inishcrone. We also drove out to Westport which needs no superlatives from and even as far as Blacksod in the Belmullet peninsula. All in all, a great time, many thanks to Sara for what is a very good value holiday home.
