Sligo is a patchwork of rolling hills, mountains, lakes, rivers and fields dotted with ruined castles, forts and abbeys interlinked with small towns and villages.

The cottage as many of our guests have said is an ideal base from which to set out and discover it all.

Close by are the ancient lake dwellings on lough Gara and the passage tombs at Carrowkeel where on winter solstice the rising sun enters on of the chambers.

Gurteen is surrounded by lots of country towns and villages. The old market towns of Boyle and Ballymote with their Abbey and castle ruin are within 10 miles. Boyle holds a farmers market every Saturday in the grounds of King house once the home of the Connacht rangers regiment also known as the Devils own.

Just outside Boyle the beautiful lough Key forest park has lots of walks including a tree canopy walk, lake cruises, a Boda Borg adventure building, a bathing area which is patrolled by lifeguards in the summer and a cafe.
