Farmstay holiday rentals in County Sligo

I spent one month at this beautiful home and could not have been happier. The house is very comfortable and well appointed, has great views, loved the glass conservatory - warm in occasional sunshine on cool days, thunderously atmospheric on rainy days. Happy to find yoga mats and a meditation cushion, a pair of wellies to borrow, and very much enjoyed the fireplace and the smell of peat briquettes. The house is very secluded in lovely rural countryside filled with farmland lakes and woods, but only a 20-30 minute drive to several nearby towns with quite a lot going on in them, and of course beautiful nature and hikes and neolithic monuments and medieval ruins in all directions. Nola was extremely helpful and communicative and full of knowledge about the area. Although there's no wired internet, there's quite a strong mobile signal most of the time (I found Eir service to be good enough for streaming and video calls) so the wifi hotspots at the house should serve you well, though sometimes the signal worsens in heavy rain or at occasional other times, but was always steady enough for casual use.

The space is a gem. It is located exactly between Sligo and Ballina and it takes about 30 minutes by car. The location by the sea is perfect for escaping everyday life. The direct private path takes you within 2 minutes to a deserted sandy beach. By the way, the homemade bread is also recommended and ensures a family arrival. The extra costs for oil and electricity are absolutely within the frame and do not blow up the holiday fund. I definitely recommend it and would come back myself as it was a perfect location for the excursions and hikes in the area. Personally, I can also recommend the city of Sligo,as it is not yet as crowded and hyped as Galway. i say THANK YOU and wish you all the best! Margaret is a wonderful host

Martina is a beautiful lady. Her hospitality is superb. The accommodation is perfect , spotlessly clean and so comfortable. Everything is just beautiful.

Absolutely amazing place to stay. Not so far that it’s all a hassle but far enough that you get as much disconnection as you need. Check-in was extremely easy and there was absolutely anything you could’ve needed at the cottage. I hope to come back here some day and highly recommend.

Communication with the host Patrick was really good throughout, very helpful and informative. We didn't get to meet him but his brother Tom was on site. Very welcoming and friendly and showed us around. We had a lovely stay, the house was very clean and beds were super comfy. Lovely views from the windows upstairs. The kids enjoyed the little playroom downstairs. Great location too for getting around and seeing all the local sights. Definitely recommend The Stables, we will definitely book again next time we're in the area.

Really can't say enough about this place. Located in the most idyllic spot, the property is extremely well kept and has everything you could need. Maura & David were extremely accommodating offering us a late check out, putting together a gorgeous welcome hamper with all essentials and helping us organise a taxi to a wedding we were attending. They were also extremely kind and gracious at checkout when we discovered our car wouldn't start, gave us a jump start and allowed us back into the accommodation to use the facilities while we waited to get sorted. Thank you so much Maura & David we are extremely grateful.

Lovely place, great views, kids loved the garden space. Easy drive to local towns. Brilliant few days.

Great cottage! Amazing secluded location but very close to an excellent Supervalu and easy drives to lots of great walks and to Sligo Town. Catherine almost talks the cottage down! Whilst it is a traditional cottage it is wonderful. Clean, has everything we needed, good shower (would be 100% perfect is there was a bath for after big walks). Great place for dogs with enclosed property, lots of outdoor space and a cosy living space. Some dogs might escape out the gate if unsupervised but that's quite far up the lane. We would definitely stay here again if Catherine will have us!

We had an amazing stay! Very peaceful spot especially with the noise of the river while your sleep. The rooms were spacious and the beds were super comfy. I loved that there was no tv! We used the pizza ovens for dinner one night which was very handy and tasty. Having the jacuzzi and sauna was so nice! We spent most or weekend in them both. Catriona was extremely helpful and an amazing host! She went above and beyond for us all as a party of 4

We had an amazing time! The cottage has all necessary facilities as described. We'll definitely come back in the future. Communication with the host was perfect also.

Justina was a fantastic host, very welcoming and she called in shortly after we arrived to ensure that we knew how everything worked, including the TV. We had everything we could possibly need for a very relaxing stay which was just what we all needed. Even though there were plenty of places to eat out in the evenings nearby, apart from a day trip out to the coast, we chose to eat back at the cottage as it was so easy to buy very good quality local fresh food that suited everyone’s dietary needs was a real added bonus. Sitting out in the early evening overlooking the lake was delightful and relaxing. There was lots of places in the area relating to the local and national history of Ireland which were great to visit and enjoy. Hopefully we will come back to the area to explore even more of them and would definitely book Key Cottage again.

I am SO in love with Diana's home. We had 7 adults, a toddler and dogs and yet there was still loads of room. The rooms are massive, so everyone had lots of space to sleep, and the dogs could run around the grounds. EVERYTHING you ever need is there, toys for the kids, dog treats, every type of kitchen utensil and a gorgeous welcome basket. But there is a shop 300 steps away and loads of lovely towns nearby. The beaches were 4 mins away in the car each and just so peaceful, not full at all. I will be back and will be telling everyone about this peaceful place.

We had such a lovely stay, Eddie and Anne were very welcoming and helpful. The cottage was clean and tidy, when we arrived they had left us fresh egss, bread, milk, cheese, tea, coffee and juice, which was a lovely surprise, alot of places we have stayed do not do that and it does make such a welcoming difference. The fireplace is amazing and the views around are stunning. We will be back.

This was my second time getting to stay at this lovely estate, and it was even more of a lovely time than the last. I got to bring my partner along for this trip, and she was just as captivated by the home and the family as I was. There are countless portraits and old photographs on the walls telling the stories of who has lived in and around Annaghmore. Durcan and Nicola are fantastic hosts and consistently checked in on us to make sure we were content each day. The wood oven in their sun room was easy to use and kept us very warm. The library is impeccable, so many interesting books from numerous periods. Their five pups also completely steal the show, with how well they behave and how eager they are to please. Teeps in particular loves to present you with stones, sticks, or leaves from around Annaghmore, and their tails are always wagging faster than you can imagine. They also recently got a new bed for the guest room, and it was SO comfortable. A great stay, all around!

Such a beautiful cottage to stay Perfect location for visiting the family Kathleen was a fantastic host and so helpful for all our enquiries. Will definitely be returning to this Airbnb

Beautiful home and pictures just do not do justice as it exceeded our expectations. The beds were super comfortable and showers were powerful and good. Only downside was no internet which was annoying but Roderick explained the tower was down and kindly offered to go to his home should we need it urgently. We would happily stay again.

Flynn’s farmhouse was amazing, beautiful retreat to relax and kick the jet lag before I started my trip.

This cottage is much more lovely in person and more spacious. The living room was gorgeous and so cosy with the stove, blankets galore and comfy couch. The bedrooms were all lovely, clean and spacious also. It felt very peaceful there with such beautiful surroundings and Holly Amber and Barbara have thought of everything. The kitchen is very well equipped and the cottage is beautifully decorated. There are lots of books and games for children and adults and also lots of local information at your finger tips which is very helpful for planning your days visiting the richly engaging area. Our two boys aged 8 and 10 and our dog had great fun in the large back garden and on the beautiful Streedagh beach, only a few minutes drive away. We definitely would love to return.

We loved this house, a superb family destination, our 4 kids loved the up stairs play area. The down stairs was wonderfully set up for family meal times. The location is excellent, the kids got a few days of surf school and we saw a good bit of Sligo and got some great tips on what to do from the hosts.

Geraldine and Steve’s place really has it all. The incredibly beautiful setting right on the Atlantic shore and the stunning apartment designed to bring it all in. Large windows fill the space with light and watching the changing skies, the birdlife and basking seals kept us entertained. Geraldine and Steve are a warm friendly and informative couple and we appreciated the kind touch of the treats they left for us. We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs in Ireland and several other countries and for us this is our favourite - hope to return soon.
