"We wanted a base to explore the Sligo and Roscommon areas and Duffy’s proved to be the perfect solution."
The house in on the edge of the village, a short walk to the supermarket and very quiet.
We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The lockbox code worked without a problem and we entered the house to find the heating already switched on for our arrival and a very thoughtful and generous welcome pack. We chose the bedroom without the en-suite as there was a little more space. The bed was very comfortable with good quality bedding. The whole house was squeaky clean. Sylvia was available by phone and email during our stay to answer any questions we had. There are a few rough edges in the kitchen but the positives far outweigh any minor negatives. Highly Recommended.

"Comfortable cottage in a small village."
Close to two pubs with good food and a take away and a small grocery. Both the listing agency and the owner were very responsive to any questions, with calls or texts returned within minutes. Convenient to explore the Sligo area. Thanks Sylvia.

"What a friendly welcome!"
A vase with fresh flowers on the dining table, tea, coffee, sweets for the kids and in the fridge some fresh food - we walked into the spacious house and could relax the minute we arrived. Good matrasses, a big dining table, a neat little garden, VERY comfortable armchairs and sofa in the living room and plenty of space and light in the entire house.
The supermarket is in walking distance (less than ten minutes) and open seven days a week.
There are lots of things to do for those who enjoy walking: explore the passage tombs in Carrowkeel and enjoy the view from the top of the hill By car you can get to Sligo in half an hour - don't miss the 7-km-loop walk starting in Strandhill or walk around Rosses Point and dine in Sligo afterwards. Within about an hour you can get to the foot of Croagh Patrick - even if you only do half the climb you will be rewarded be breathtaking views.
We had a wonderful time! Thank you!

"We are just back from a short break at Duffy's cottage which was great!"
The house was very well presented and in a quiet location. On arrival, we found the house exactly how you would like but with a few lovely added touches e.g. fresh bunch of flowers, wheaten bread etc We spoke with the owner Sylvia who was lovely. As stated shops and pubs are all within a 10 minute walking distance. Would highly recommend.
All in all we had a great stay and would consider staying again if we were that direction.

Every day was amazing.
There even was food in the fridge on arrival.
A very quiet spot, and still able to watch the village's St. Patrick's parade drive by.
One of the best places I've been to.

It has everything you need and more and is meticulously clean. Sylvia the owner has been so thoughtful in providing every amenity you may need and the house is fully equipped with all appliances, crockery, glassware and utensils. I would give this property a 5 * rating and would like to thank Sylvia for an amazing stay.

"Thank you to Sylvia for allowing me to move my stuff into the house early."
Your assistance made my move to Gurteen much easier. You have a beautiful home and it was cleaned immaculately. Another great aspect is that Duffy's is pet friendly. Shamrock, my dog, was content during our stay. Thank you again.

"Just back from a week's holiday staying in duffys cottage, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was perfect, really clean, it has everything ud need, a real home from home."
Netflix was a bonus. Teabags, coffee, sugar, biscuits, wine etc to greet us on arrival. The flowers was also a lovely touch. Gurteen is a small village just a few minutes walk from the house, it has a few pubs and a fine big centra shop, all the locals very friendly, a great base for visiting neighbouring counties, I would recommend it, a nice break from the hustle and bustle from the city.

"Duffy's Cottage provided a very restful holiday base: its quiet village of Gorteen has adequate shopping (and eating) facilities."
Within easy reach are the interesting towns of Sligo, Ballina and Carrick-on-Shannon: Galway and other venues in the West are also easily accessible. The neolithic passage tombs at Carrowkeel are twelve miles by car followed by an interesting countryside walk.
