A very comfortable cottage with all amenities ideally located to explore Sligo and Leitrim wonders.
Lovely to go off exploring the awesome historical / scenic features that abound and return to a comfortable home base to reinvigorate and prepare for the next adventure.
Mary was a delightful helpful host and our stay of over a week most economical. Local super markets and great pubs made it very easy.
This was our first time to Ireland and what a blessing it was to find this cottage! It was perfect for our family of 4 (although had enough beds for 5). I let Mary know approximately what time we would get to her place and when we arrived, she was there waiting for us. The cottage was very tidy and included everything we needed. She even had homemade biscuits and jam for us which we greatly appreciated after a long flight from the US. There was a washer and dryer and she provided laundry detergent. She has a real fireplace if you want to light and enjoy a nice quiet time in the living room. Outside there is a ping-pong table which my kids (and husband ) enjoyed. She has a fishing pole that we could use and showed us where to go to her lake to fish. Although we didn’t catch anything, my kids really enjoyed it. Throughout our entire stay Mary was very responsive and even came right over within minutes to show us how to use the fireplace when we had a question on it! You are also with 15 mins or so from a grocery store which we were able to buy groceries for our meal and load up on Cadbury candy which is much better than the one you find in the US!It was the perfect stay and Mary was such a lovely host. If we ever had the chance to come back to Ireland, hopefully Mary’s cottage is available to stay here again.Thank you so much Mary!
We really enjoyed our stay at Alder cottage and cannot wait to return. We had everything we needed and check in with the lovely Mary was super easy. The area is very beautiful and the cottage itself felt like we were the only people for miles. The outdoor table tennis table was an absolute bonus!
We arrived after 9.30 pm, this was no trouble to the fantastic host Mary. Due to our late arrival she very kindly got us some supplies in. Mary gave us directions to various towns and activities we could do with two teenagers. The house was well stocked with all you need. And the table tennis table was a big hit. Thank you for a great stay, we will be back.
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely place. It was spacious and well-equipped. It was particularly delightful to be able to light and open fire for the cooler evenings. Mary's welcome was warm, very helpful and prompt in her communications. Thanks Mary for everything.
Endroit très calme, proche de la nature dans un cadre très verdoyant! Si vous cherchez la tranquillité, l’endroit est parfait! Si vous recherchez la frénésie de la ville, passez votre chemin. 😜
This is a lovely property, very spacious with nice grounds. Our host, Mary, was very helpful and easy to deal with. The only surprise was the extra charge for some utilities. We were aware that there was a fee for heater usage which is fairly common here, but there were also charges for hot water and electricity. It should be mentioned in the listing too avoid confusion.
Alder Cottage is a wonderfully quiet cottage with everything your heart desires. A great idyll to relax and escape the stressful everyday life. Maria received us warmly and gave us a list of interesting places to visit in the area. Thanks for the nice stay.
Der Aufenthalt in dem Haus war sehr angenehm. Die Kinder hatten Spaß in einem gegen Regen und Wind geschützten , halb offenen Anbau , Tischtennis spoelen zu können. Als wir Probleme mit dem Auto hatten half uns Marry und ihr Mann und Freunde sehr toll geholfen.
Zusammenfassend: Ein ruhiges, schönes Haus in einer ländlichen Umgebung.
Great property, great host. Mary was kind, helpful and apologetic for the rain! We did however find plenty to do even on the rainy days.
If I made one suggestion, it would be to have a mirror somewhere in the house close to an outlet to make it easier to dry ans style hair.
But really, everything eas wonderful!! Thank you for your hospitality.
What a great place to stay! Mary, the owner, was so helpful and kind. Quiet, quiet location with a very narrow (!) driveway. The front room was so comfortably decorated, and a great place to read and watch a movie. Kitchen was amply equipped, and bedrooms were spacious. The hot water/heating system was a bit fiddly for us in that we didn't really understand it, but Mary was there to answer all questions. Highly recommend this property if you're looking for some quiet get-away time.
this was a wonderful place, a real find, and Mary went far beyond in helping me settle in. friends came out as a surprise and they were accommodated as well. i can’t wait to come back.
Spacious, clean and comfortable house with good facilities. Nice garden with a pingpong table. Nicely situated in beautiful area of Dromahair co. Leitrim.
The property was very clean, well presented, and fully equipped. Mary was very helpful in making us feel at home and provided a replacement BBQ of which we made good use. We drove around the surrounding area extensively and visited Sligo and various places on the Wild Atlantic Way touring route. We were extremely lucky with the weather and had very little rain, so the remote location was not an issue. We enjoyed our trip to The Shed distillery at Drumshanbo and also to Parke Castle on Lough Gill. All the equipment in the property was good quality and functioned well, including the TV and wifi, so we had a very comfortable and most enjoyable stay.
We stayed in Marys cottage for 3 nights. The cottage is in a beautiful quiet setting.
It is quite spacious and very well equipped. Our children really enjoyed the table tennis table in the outdoor shed. We brought our bikes and enjoyed cycling on the blue way at Acres Lake in Drumshanbo, we also had a trip to Rosses point beach and took in Glencar waterfall which was amazing! We booked a swim in the outdoor pool in Acres Lake also. We enjoyed or trip to leitrim and our stay in the cottage.
We had a lovely stay in Dromahair. The house was perfect for us . Off main road so safe for the kids , lovely space and lawn around the house so great for kids to play , not to mention the ping ping table ! House is lovely , everything in kitchen you could need and lovely open fire for the evenings . Thanks Mary for a lovely stay .
