    “This one of the best cottages ive stayed in in Ireland ,with wild life (deers) on your doorstep ready to greet you as you arrive,now that"s a first.”

The views of lough gill and Slishwood forrest were amazing enough without mother nature really going to town with all those rainbows...wow! And if that wasnt enough and your a night hawk,those shooting stars really are the icing on the cake. A good nights sleep is pretty much guaranteed with the stillness and the silence.

    The cottage itself has everything one would need and is so spacious homely and comfortable. The views of lough gill and Slishwood forrest were amazing enough without mother nature really going to town with all those rainbows...wow! And if that wasnt enough and your a night hawk,those shooting stars really are the icing on the cake. A good nights sleep is pretty much guaranteed with the stillness and the silence. Help/ assistance as i found out wasn't far away if i needed it so that was very reassuring to know especially being here alone and in a fairly remote area. A really big thank you to the host for making this property available to those who enjoy serenity,wild life and ever changing scenary like myself. Amazing!

The property

Sligo 6.1 miles.

Perched in an elevated position, just outside of the popular town of Sligo, County Sligo, is The Lake Cottage.

Perfect for a couple or solo traveller this characterful cottage offers a welcoming space for a peaceful break, with local woodland walks, views of Lough Gill, and a toasty woodburning stove, this cottage is ideal all year round.

Stone steps lead you up to the cottage, where exposed stone walls create a traditional appeal to an Irish home-from-home.

Enter the kitchen/diner, fit with all the appliances you need for a self-catering stay, along with a corner dining table where you can catch up on the day's events over dinner.

From here, the sitting room invites you to cosy up with your loved one in front of the woodburning stove while you flick through the channels on the TV.

When sleep calls, venture off to the double bed and rest your head before a day of exploring your surroundings, and when you wake, the shower room offers a walk-in shower so you can freshen up.

Outside, take advantage of the shared garden, home to a fire pit and barbecue, so you can dine al fresco and enjoy the picture-perfect views of Lough Gill and the mountains.

SLIGO TOWN, COUNTY SLIGO

Strandhill 5.6 miles; Sligo Airport 6 miles; Ballaghaderreen 30.2 miles.

Sligo, one of Ireland’s largest towns is a great destination set among Benbulben Mountain, Knocknarea Hill, sandy beaches, and the green countryside of the Emerald Isle. The town itself offers a wide variety of shops, restaurants with great seafood and pubs playing traditional Irish music. You won’t be stuck for things to do while in the area; go to the races and pick out the winning horse, practice your swing with a few rounds of golf, go horse riding on the beach, or relax with a spot of fishing. Sample the local culture by visiting the Yeats Memorial Building, The Model Contemporary Centre and the Hawk’s Well Theatre, one of the oldest regional theatres in the country. Take the Queen Maeve Trail to the top of Knocknarea and be sure to bring your camera along to capture the breathtaking landscape that this county has to offer. Sligo is an excellent base for exploring this part of Ireland.
