This is a beautiful cottage in a quiet, secluded location just a short drive from both Drumshanbo and Leitrim villages. Note that the signpost to the access road L1015 is not the same as the number provided on Google maps (L1011).
The house has been sympathetically restored and retains much of its original character but with contemporary additions.
The upstairs works very well and the sunroom is a brilliant addition. We stayed during what was possibly the hottest week ever in Ireland and the house handled the temperature well - although Niamh also provided Dyson air conditioners which were a godsend!
The garden is beautiful and natural and there is clearly work underway to create a natural children’s play area.
Things to be aware of - these are not criticisms just quirks of the house. The ceilings and doors are low - take care! The stairs are almost a ladder style so probably not suitable for anyone with mobility issues (although they could use the downstairs sofa bed). Water pressure is not great but the shower is electric so it doesn’t really effect it.
And in case it matters greatly to anyone - there is no dishwasher.
Overall this was a wonderful experience and I would not hesitate to stay again - I imagine it would be a delight in the winter 😊
