The Hen House is small but it has been cleverly refurbished by the owner so that a single person or a couple can stay there in comfort. The location is rural but that suited me and anyway, Dromore West with its pub, café and mini-market is less than five minutes by car. Easkey with its excellent pubs and its famous café - Pudding Row - is about ten minutes.
The coastline in this part of Sligo is ruggedly beautiful. You can park up on the beaches and cliffs to watch the ocean and the birds; you can eat some pub grub in the many nearby towns and villages and then you can retire to the Hen House to read and listen to the silence, which may occasionally but enjoyably be disrupted by the braying of the owner's handsome and friendly pet donkeys.
