We really enjoyed our time at the Sligo Sea Barn. Fantastic spot! Very well done accommodations with the warmest, most welcoming hosts, Mary & Des. We hope to be back! :)
This was the perfect place to start our trip to Ireland. Not only is the property perfect the hosts are also the nicest couple we met the whole vacation. I wish I could take another walk on that beach right now.
Thanks Des & Mary for everything. Is é do poitin an chuid is fearr!
The Sea Barn in Ballinful was absolutely stunning. The house and property are gorgeous and so comfortable. The views can't be beat. The house itself was fully stocked with everything we needed and more. The hosts were so kind and welcoming and made us feel like family. I cannot say enough great things about this property. If you are traveling anywhere close to this location, you MUST stay here. You won't regret it!
The Sligo Sea Barn exceeded our expectations with its spacious, picturesque and accommodating location. It was perfect for our large group gathering with its beautiful newly renovated home. It was extremely clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We cannot say enough about our hosts Mary and Des! They went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Their sincere and gracious hospitality was unmatched. There was a wonderful walking trail nearby with beautiful views and its beach front was great for morning walks. We would highly recommend for those looking for a very peaceful and beautiful Sligo home away from home !
We rented this for a night only for a get together. We all wished we had booked for longer. The house is fantastic,it is so comfortable and spacious and so well kitted out. Mary,Des and family were all very welcoming and so helpful. The location is fantastic,perfect for a spot of sea swimming. Highly recommend this property.
