“Great time. Accommodation was first class and beat all our expectations. The kids will miss the place and the fun they had with new friends. The river fun was the icing on the cake which Michael made extra special with the Kayaking. We all were impressed, recommend to everyone, plan to return, love Sligo and will use Michael’s place again.”
The Studio is in a beautifully restored old building in an idyllic setting, modern but still in keeping. Close to lovely lakes, extraordinary megalithic sites and within an easy drive of Glencar, Ben Bulben and all the other beautiful places of Sligo and Leitrim. Michael made us feel truly welcome – there was even milk in the fridge and a selection of home-made cake and biscuits.

“Hi Michael, it took 3 years but we made it back, and as with our first welcome it was warm, friendly and inviting. The kids couldn’t wait to return and neither could we. The place just keeps getting better and we loved the cottage. We will be back – again.”
“If we could pick this place up and take it home with us we would. Thank you for all your help during our stay and your typical Irish hospitality. We definitely will be back here in the future.”
