The property is generally described as clean, bright, and airy. However, one review mentioned the need for a bit more dusting and hoovering, slightly affecting the overall impression.
The cottage's country setting is appreciated for its tranquillity and suitability for families, though its remoteness and the closure of the local pub are noted. A vehicle is recommended due to the location.
The cottage is considered comfortable and well-equipped, with a spacious kitchen and comfortable furnishings. The presence of only one shower for a larger group is a minor drawback.
While the reviews mention modern amenities and a well-stocked kitchen, there are comments about the lack of hot water in certain areas and the need for better maintenance. Due to mixed feedback, a precise score cannot be provided.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is highlighted by their warm welcome with tea and scones. While such gestures greatly enhance the experience, future guests should note that these are personal touches and may vary.
About this property
Castlebaldwin 2 miles. This cosy semi-detached cottage is next to the owner's home, and is close to Lough Arrow and Castlebaldwin in the County Sligo countryside. The lovely cottage is a fantastic base for a family to get away together to enjoy some sightseeing, while exploring County Sligo. This attractive cottage is set over two floors and has three cosy bedrooms upstairs. On the ground floor there is a traditional country kitchen with a dining table and an electric stove. The sitting room offers a great space for taking it easy after a day of being out and about, and also has a bay widow with two chairs and a coffee table, perfect for relaxing with breakfast on a lazy sunny morning. To the front of the property there is a patio area with furniture and a lawned garden where the young ones can play and run around, tiring themselves out before bed, whilst you sit and relax with a refreshing drink. The small village of Castlebaldwin is close at hand to tend to your basic needs and Lough Arrow is great if you fancy a spot of fishing. Head south east and visit Carrick-on-Shannon and north west will take you to Sligo, both filled with charm and character for you to soak up, while enjoying the local culture and history on offer and also a range of traditional Irish pubs and restaurants for you to sample. A great property for you to come to and begin your Irish getaway adventure.

! The patio and around the front door needed a tidy and a brush to keep that being brought into the living area? Owners were friendly and helpful and didn't mind our 3 dogs which we groomed every day to limit hairs on floors

Having said that there were a couple of things that we could not give 5 stars. We had to ask for hot water in the kitchen as we did not use the dishwasher. Also there was no hot water in the wash basin. Also the cottage required a walk over with a duster and hoover.
