Sligo - The Land of Heart's Desire - was the inspiration behind much of the poetry of Ireland's greatest poet W.B. Yeats. The Irish are a genuinely friendly race who enjoy talking, so why not come and join us. There are no strangers here - just friends you haven't met!

County Sligo offers its visitors a fine variety of mountains, lakes and beaches. Sligo town (pop. 20,000), the busy thriving capital of the region, has a special atmosphere rich in culture and history.

The megalithic tombs of Carrowmore - within three kilometres of our house - are reputed to be more than 4000 years old and are regarded as being among the most famous in Europe.
