About this farm stay rental

Situated in County Sligo, this attractive farm stay for $171 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Carrowcullen is an 1880s stone farmhouse, set on the Wild Atlantic Way in the Ox Mountains amongst 14 acres of unspoiled pastures. It has been assessed by Failte Ireland to meet the Welcome Standard. It offers guests a 'walk-back-in-time' experience while meeting modern comforts. Guests enter the farmhouse through the centre door leading into the kitchen. The parlour and sitting rooms are on either side of the kitchen on the ground floor and both have log burners. On the first floor are a master double bedroom with sink, a twin bedroom with sink, a single room, and a bathroom with cast iron bath and over bath shower on the first floor. On the ground floor the traditional kitchen's modern appliances are hidden as part of the walk-back-in-time experience. The kitchen's facilities are: gas cooker, under-counter fridge with small freezer compartment, small dishwasher, an original oak table with tuck under chairs, a central island (containing the under-counter fridge/freezer) and large butler's sink. Under the stairs and off the kitchen, there is a cloakroom (toliet and sink). The sitting room has a toliet and sink behind a screen to accommodate guests who might find the original steep staircase a challenge. The farmhouse is set well back from a quiet country lane on a private lane which connects to a forestry lane and the country road, offering a quiet short 'loop' stroll. One of the Sligo walking trails is minutes away . The local beaches Dunmoran Strand and Aughris Head are located within a short drive.

Beautiful well preserved house. Very nice landlady/ owner, great hospitality. The house expires a authentic athmosphere of the past. Great for music, art and literature with piano and library. Very quiet besides some sheep, interesting walks into the Ox mountains. Mind your head within the house.

Wow! A museum in itself. So much character in the cottage. It has the most warming atmosphere. Trudy is a true gem, with many a tale to tell. The work she has done on the cottage is perfect. Located away from the main road. You here the sheep, the birds and the rustle if the trees. The early morning mist over the mountains is stunning. With beaches not far and the Irish air it's a place to experience. All ready booked for the summer. A huge thank you Trudy.

Carrowcullen is set in a truly magical location. Trudy was a great host. She has a wealth of information about the local community and was very responsive over email.

You will feel like you went back in time at this farmhouse. Trudy is lovingly restoring it, using materials authentic to the time, from the pull chain WC to the farmhouse sink. We can’t wait to come back and see the progress she’s made with the rest of the grounds.

Incredible experience! you truly feel emersed in 18th century but with amenities .. Trudy is delightful and has painstakingly restored a piece of time. Beds are so comfy after a long day of trecking, The house is full of artifacts of the time, The outside space with view of the surrounding mountains sprinkled w sheep and valleys at sunrise/set is spectacular, arrive in daylight hours as lack of light pollution is excellent for stargazing but not navigation :-) ... I could go on... But most telling would be.. Our family (2 adults 2 grown kids) .. plan to return to slow down and simply spend more time in this special place...we only had three nights in Ireland consequently spent most of the day away from the house site seeing... Sligo, is about 20 min by car and cool little river town w all you need Thank you Trudy for creating this special space!!!

We stayed 1 week at Carrowcullen and it was a wonderful and very special week! As our own home is furnished scandic- light and open, we felt like we were adjusting from day to day more to our new surrounding. Every day we discovered more of all the antiques and details in the house: furniture, original porcelan to use, lights, fabrics, different embroideries, pictures, books etc. Besides that Carrowcullen is equipped well with all you need and if you don't care much for old toilet- technic, you can use the usual one in a small room unter the stairs ;) I especially want to mention the cute bathroom with an old iron- bathtub to take a rain-shower, it is wonderfully decorated! The hidden TV was not used once, instead we spent most evenings with candles in front of the cosy fireplace or watching the stars outside. The surrounding of the house is very quiet, you rarely just hear a sheep or a cow and the views are beautiful. It was perfect walking our dog around, he could play in a nearby little stream. We discovered the beautiful beaches around( closest is Aughris beach- with the beach- bar/ good food, views& vibes), went to discover Sligo, the Ox mountains and took a bath in Lough Easkes. All in all- a perfectly relaxing week! Thank you Trudy for your friendly and personal welcome, the lovely welcome- gifts and information about the area and pub- music( we definitely have to come back to experience more!).

Spent Christmas at this outstanding 1880’s Farmhouse. It was like stepping back in time with all the everyday life essentials. We were welcomed with the most loveliest hoist and owner who made us feel welcomed and at home. The owner decorated this farmhouse in a traditional and heartwarming style for Christmas with personal touches for my 6 year old granddaughter with her own room decorated from children’s Christmas books to children’s Christmas decorations even my cat received his very own cat Christmas stocking with individual touches for all, from the owner. Myself and my family had the most wonderful Christmas here arriving the day before Christmas Eve and leaving the day after Boxing Day. This is a place to relax, go back in time, absorb classic timeless pieces of furniture and art work, countless books, culture and most importantly good old family quality time together without modern day devices stopping us communicating, therefore allowing us to enjoy being in each other’s company. Would Highly recommend this experience of an old time Irish influenced Farmhouse with only a 20 minute drive straight into Sligo town. I received a handmade crafted gift from the owner which l will cherish and appreciate and hold a memory where it came from.
