Description from owner

Description

James Tymon self catering farmhouse is a late 19th century cottage nestling on 30 acres of stone walled fields by the bank of the Owenmore river in Co Sligo.

The two bedroomed cottage has been carefully renovated and can accomodate 5 people+ cot.

Paths lead from the house for strolls by the river or by the stone walled fields through the trees or back through the land to the ancient horse chestnut.

The local village of Gurteen is a centre of traditional Irish music and between the Coleman centre and the local pubs there are lots of shows and music sessions.Music and art festivals abound throughout the summer with every town hosting one.The village which is only 1km away has all amenities including supermarket,pharmacy, petrol station, post office, hardware store, hairdresser and pubs which also serve food.

Our cottage is a perfect base from which to explore the west of Ireland. Close by are the lake dwellings on Lough Gara.The ancient burial site at Carrowkeel with its passage tombs is a short drive away.A visit to the Eagle centre outside Ballymote is a must to expierence these macnificent birds in action.

There are scenic tours which will take you by beautiful lakes and mountains and through small towns and villages.

The old market towns of Ballymote and Boyle with their castle and Abbey ruin are within 10 miles. Boyle has a beautiful forest park with lots of great walks and swimming on lough Kee.The Arts festival runs here for a week in July.

This is Yeats country so why not visit places associated with the great poet like Inisfree,Benbulben mountain and Sligo town.

Co Sligo has some great beaches especially at Strandhill,Mullaghmore,Rosses point and Enniscrone ideal for safe swimming,walking and surfing.

Golf courses are plentiful with one of the best in Ballymote which is about 7 miles away. Othere are at Tubbercurry,and Sligo.

Try your hand at fishing.You won't have far to go. Just stroll to the river. We have a quarter of a mile for you to cast your line and relax.Or why not try the numerous lakes and rivers that dot the landscape.No permit is required.

James Tymon and grounds are pet friendly so your pet/pets are very welcome. There is no charge for taking your pets.
