    “We wanted a base to explore the Sligo and Roscommon areas and Duffy’s proved to be the perfect solution.”

The lockbox code worked without a problem and we entered the house to find the heating already switched on for our arrival and a very thoughtful and generous welcome pack.

    The house in on the edge of the village, a short walk to the supermarket and very quiet. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The lockbox code worked without a problem and we entered the house to find the heating already switched on for our arrival and a very thoughtful and generous welcome pack. We chose the bedroom without the en-suite as there was a little more space. The bed was very comfortable with good quality bedding. The whole house was squeaky clean. Sylvia was available by phone and email during our stay to answer any questions we had. There are a few rough edges in the kitchen but the positives far outweigh any minor negatives. Highly Recommended.

About the location

GORTEEN, COUNTY SLIGO

Carrick-on-Shannon 19 miles; Knock Airport 22.3 miles; Sligo 22.5 miles.

Gorteen, meaning small garden, is a delightful village in south east County Sligo. There is great Irish music to discover in Gorteen, and with strong ties to the past and tradition, Gorteen is home to the Coleman Irish Music Centre. Nearby 16th century Moygara Castle, which overlooks Lough Gara, provides a wonderful backdrop for a spot of fishing, while the area is home to a host of varying lakes for watersports as well. With many villages and towns on the doorstep, Westport just over an hour away and Galway City only a couple of hours away, Gorteen is a great touring base.
