Artarmon Cottages
Set along the north shore of Sligo Bay about 11 miles from Sligo Town, Ardtarmon is a charming country house with four guest rooms and five self-catering cottages, offering friendly service in a superbly beautiful setting.
Since 1852 Ardtarmon House has been a family home, most recently belonging to Charles and Christa Henry, the fifth generation to welcome visitors into Ardtarmon. Ardtarmon sets itself apart for its superb setting, set among 10 acres of wooded gardens and surrounded by farmland. Wake up to a chorus of sound birds singing. Ardtarmon is the definition of tranquility. Guests to Ardtarmon House also enjoy a private pathway leading through the fields and to the sea, where you'll find a rocky shoreline that's safe for swimming and perfect for walking.
The five self-catering cottages in the original farm yard and grounds include a gate lodge, a thatched cottage and converted stone-built farm buildings. They range in size from one to three bedrooms and are pleasantly and comfortably furnished, three having open fires. Laundry facilities and a payphone are available.
The Gate Lodge was built in 1884. It is a compact house with an open fire, electric heating and three bedrooms. It has a secluded and quiet atmosphere.
The Thatched Cottage was the original home of the family and was probably built between 1790 and 1840. It is snug and charming and has two small bedrooms. It has an open fire and oil heating and faces on to the Main House front lawn.
The Garden Cottage is a converted (1992) farm garage with a combined sitting room and kitchen and two large bedrooms. The stone work came from a local ruined cottage. There is oil heating with electric back up.
The Harness Cottage has one bedroom, with oil heating and an open fireplace. It is placed at a junction of the old farm buildings including part of the dairy, the engine room, the harness room and store room.
The Barn Cottage is in one half of the Barn, where animals, seed potatoes and hay have been kept in the past. It is the smallest house but suitable for couples with one bedroom and a combined sitting room and kitchenette.
During the summer months Ardtarmon's Self Catering cottages are let on a weekly basis, while in the off-season they are let for shorter periods, with a two night minimum stay.
