When my friend first saw the photos of the tiny windows, he said, “Hobbits!” It really is like living in a fantasy. Everything in the reviews is true, the pictures don’t do the Hen House justice, and Robert is utterly lovely.
The area is wonderful, but just note that it is farther from Sligo than you might think and, if you are not experienced with driving in Ireland, I would not recommend getting off the motorway there. Do not rent from Hertz. I blew out a tire on the left side five blocks from their office. Eventually I took a cab to Knock Airport and rented a tiny automatic Kia, which I drove to Dromore West via mostly deserted back roads. After that, I was able to enjoy driving to Easkey, etc., but Sligo Town was still stressful.
But it was worth every minute, and every penny of the insanely expensive car rental, to be able to stay in this incredible Hobbit House! Thank you so much, Robert!
