Our initial reason for selecting Annaghmore House for our 3 night bed and breakfast stay in Sligo was due to the fact that the owners not only welcomed dogs but had five of their own. Our dog had the holiday of a lifetime running around the 1100 acre estate.
The house was built for the O’Hara family in the 1690’s replacing an earlier mansion on the same estate. It is managed and owned by Durcan and his wife Nicola. Durcan traces his O’Hara lineage directly back to pre-Norman times. The internal walls of the house are decorated with paintings of his various ancestors.
Nicola and Durcan are warm and friendly hosts giving us access to all parts of this substantial old house. The large ensuite bedroom was very comfortable with lovely views over the countryside. The breakfast cooked and served by Nicola was amazing with fresh fruit, cereal, Clonakilty meats, eggs and homemade brown bread.
For an easygoing, laid back, dog friendly stay, close to all the major Sligo tourist attractions, Annaghmore is highly recommended
