    “This is a beautiful cottage with great views across Lough Arrow.”

    It has been furnished to a high standard of comfort and everything is in working order. Instructions on how to use appliances or deal with refuse are detailed and clear and care has been taken to ensure that occupants have everything they need to enjoy their stay. The owners were friendly and communicative. We had a lovely time.

About the location

BOYLE, COUNTY ROSCOMMON

Carrick-on-Shannon 10 miles; Ballymote 13 miles.

The small and lively town of Boyle sits on the border between County Roscommon and County Sligo. Steeped in history, Boyle has had a varied past and features a beautifully preserved 12th century abbey, as well as the grand King House, a restored Georgian mansion in the centre of the town. Lough Key lies just outside Boyle with a superb wooded adventure centre, as well as pretty footpaths around the lakes, which take in the ruins of Rockingham House. Nearby Carrick-on-Shannon, a lovely riverside town, is internationally regarded as an angler's paradise and offers no less than four large fishing lakes within a 6 mile radius. With a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants in the town, this is an excellent choice for an Irish holiday.
