This was a phenomenal property from a phenomenal host. The house is just as described - a simple, comfortable home in an outstanding location. You can't beat the view out the front windows, and our kids had a wonderful time running straight down to the beach. The wood stove was much appreciated as it gets chilly in Ireland even in August, and there were lots of great little amenities (DVDs, games, books, and the famous pizza oven).

We parked at the local pub as we didn't think our car could cope with the private track, but this worked fine and we enjoyed a drink or two at the pub itself. There is a campsite between the pub and the house but this was pretty quiet. Important to stock up on food and bottled water before you arrive, as there aren't any shops in the immediate area (luckily Kate had kindly sent us directions to the two closest).

Kate, the owner, could not have been more helpful, and double checked all the details with us up to and during our stay, which was so reassuring. She is building up a really useful information book for the house and the surrounding areas, which we made good use of. The house is in easy reach of Sligo town, but there is plenty to see of interest both nearby and further afield.

A shining example of an AirBnB success - we just wish we had booked more time there!
