This cottage is as quaint as it looks. It is in a more rural area outside of Sligo, in Grange. Great spot to take day trips either north to the NW coast, or South to Galway. The cottage is surrounded by lots of green bushes and trees, and lots of birds singing. Be aware:
1. The house is heated by a small electric heater, that worked ok when we brought it upstairs. THe downstairs, although very small, was difficult to fully heat from the wood stove. To warm up at night, we had to sit directly in front of it. There was a small amount of firewood, but we needed to purchase a lot more to heat the small area at night, and to supposed get hot water int he kitchen. Unfortunately, we never got hot water in the kitchen (it is a separate heater for the shower not tied tot he wood stove, and we did have hot water there). We had to use the instapot to heat water to wash dishes.
This may not be an issue in the summer, but in February it definitely was one for us.
2. Cleanness was not what we expected. Lots of spider webs, a spider nest, and dusty. Clearly those issues hadn’t bee addressed for some time. The bath towels were very rough and worn, and the bed linens were stained.
Check these are addressed before you go. It is a lovely cottage, and these things can easily be corrected. I let our host know, as he was very good in helping us to get there very late at night.
