Niamh's cottage is picture-perfect, set on a property with a stunning view of the sea. She offered us so many extra touches including fresh eggs from her chickens and bread and jam for our first breakfast. The cottage is nicely located in northern County Sligo, about 20 minutes from Sligo itself and 45 minutes from Donegal. Local activities we particularly enjoyed were the Benbulben Forest Walk (not to be missed) and a visit to the Carrowmore Monolithic Tombs (make sure you do a guided tour).
