We enjoyed a lovely stay in Dymphna's cottage, and our almost two year old son was so happy with the slide in the garden, and all of the action on the farm every day. Lots of tractors and other machinery which he adores, he was out at the gate waving at everyone passing all the time.
We stayed during the August heatwave and spent every morning on the local beaches, and every afternoon out exploring Sligo.
The cottage is well equipped and cosy, there's a gorgeous stove but we didn't have to light it as temperatures were soaring when we stayed. You'll be reliant on your car if you stay here, but we expected that, the road is very busy and narrow so we didn't feel comfortable walking anywhere with a toddler.
A few things to note...if you want to eat in the Beach Bar (the only local eatery) book in advance, at least a day in advance, we were disappointed that we couldn't get in two evenings in a row. Muddy Burns is a lovely spot that's around 25 mins away, lovely food and really nice service. Enniscrone is around 30 mins away and such a lovely place to go for a day, or an afternoon, the Diamond Coast hotel bar has great food and great service. Sligo Town is about 40 mins away, Bistro Bianconi is lovely and really child friendly, they couldn't have been more welcoming. Easky has no cafes or restaurants anymore, there were two as far as I know but none now, which was disappointing.
Overall a lovely break away was had.
Thank you Dymphna!
