Our stay at Annaghmore was hands down the best AirBnB experience we have had and are likely to ever experience. I do not have the eloquence to truly do this captivating property justice. Annaghmore is a hidden gem of county Sligo. The area is the ancestral home to the O'Hara clan, who have lived in Cooloney and the surrounding area for over 1000 years. The manor itself was built nearly 200 years ago and is home to your host, Durcan O'Hara, who is the most recent in an unbroken line of descent that dates back centuries. We arrived at Annaghmore after the sun had set. Tired and road weary, we were somewhat taken aback when we entered the house. It was absolutely magnificent. The winding grand staircase decorated with family portraits dating back to the 1700s and memorabilia from generations of O'Haras is a site to behold. There is an air of enchantment about the house. When explored it's like walking into a world that time forgot. A drawing room, complete with grand piano and dining room that could probably seat 30 were the stuff of novels, stately and majestic. Durcan is an excellent host in so many ways. Upon our extremely late arrival, he was kind enough to offer to pick us up a pizza. As the area is somewhat hard for a family of Americans to navigate at night, we took him up on his kind offer. Before he left we were shown to our room, which can only be described as grand. He even had a crib already set up and waiting for our 11month old. Durcan casually ate with us in the kitchen and we learned a little about the property, the O'Haras (of whom he has almost encyclopedic knowledge) and each other before retiring to our extremely comfortable bed. In the yellow and pink hues of the sun rise, I was able to more greatly appreciate how completely unique this experience was as I looked through our humongous windows and saw sheep grazing lazily in the field below. After a shower in his updated bathroom we went downstairs and were greeted by the smell of sausages. We had an excellent full Irish breakfast before exploring the grounds. I truly can't imagine another trip to Ireland without a longer stay at Annaghmore. It became an unwitting highlight of our whole vacation.
