"We enjoyed our stay in Hannon's Country Farmhouse."
It is very rural but the information provided was accurate. It was very quiet and peaceful, good central heating meant it was warm and cosy. We also used the fire on one evening. There is plenty to see and do in the vicinity.

"Absolute beautiful house in a wonderful position by the caves."
All the children loved the cows by the house and it was just so peaceful. The owner was really helpful and friendly. Would love to go back and stay again.

"We had a wonderful stay at this modernised farmhouse at keash near ballymote."
The property was incredibly spacious for our family of 5 plus dog. The large open plan kitchen and patio area was fantastic and where we spent most of our time. The view directly to the caves was amazing. The property was an ideal base for walking and outdoor activities across sligo, roscommon and Leitrim. Lough Key is only 20mins away. Would recommend for anyone looking for a perfect countryside getaway!

"Firstly it’s set in a beautiful location, it is a lovely property."
However the downstairs bedroom had a very thin bobbled sheet that looked slept in , through which you could see the mattress and had no mattress protector . The sheet and duvet were both dirty so we had to wash them before sleeping in them. The master bedroom also had no mattress protector and the mattress was badly stained as were the pillows and the pillow protectors. I took the sheet and a mattress protector from the third bedroom and used them in the two bedrooms we were going to sleep in. The toilets were very stained and the seat in downstairs bathroom was brown too. It needs some attention to detail . I had to hoover my bedroom the carpet was covered in hair and did smell. We have pictures if you would like to see them . We are used to staying in Sykes cottages and utensils like sauce pans and our beds , and bathrooms are always spotlessy clean and tidy. The information needs updating as it was all out of date and didn’t apply . We are being completely honest here , we do not want anything but were very disappointed in the condition of the house inside. We didn’t speak to the owner at the time , mainly as we washed everything we were using and we made do as were there for a family confirmation and had nowhere else to go. I would gladly go back another time if it was much cleaner and maintained as it was perfect position for me near my family but not the way it is now inside. Anna and Bridget
Hi Anna. I am sorry to read your comments. My wife and I make every effort to have the property in the best shape for all our clients. All bed linen in all rooms are changed every time clients leave. I met you both and asked was everything OK? If there was a problem it would have been rectified immediately. You said nothing. 99% of our clients are happy. Thanks Sean Property Owner

"The accommodation was very comfortable and suitable for our holiday break."
It has a pleasant and peaceful rural setting and is very convenient to the nearest town, Ballymote and an easy drive to other tourist and interesting attractions. I have no hesitation in recommending it as a good holiday venue and would like to repeat the experience sometime in the future.

"We were very impressed by this facility."
It has been modernised to a high standard, spacious and ideal for young children because of the spacious floor area. It is beautifully located in full view of the Keash Caves, and a few minutes drive from Ballymote for provisions. It is strategically placed for touring Co. Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon. The owner is most helpful and accommodating. Wifi signals are intermittent in this area, but we found the local library in Ballymote excellent for internet. A really great holiday. Adrian
Thank you very much for your nice comments. Hope to see you again. Sean & Colette Property Owner

"Hannons Farmhouse is a beautiful rural location where you can look out to the Keash Caves and climb the path to venture in."
The owners were were helpful before our trip and welcoming on arrival. They left us to enjoy the house but reassured us they were only a phonecall away. The house itself met all our needs from well equipped kitchen to comfort. The local pub the Foxes Den served a great pint of Guinness and well worth a visit to the restored cottage on the premises. Lough Key forest park was less than half an hour drive with something for everyone cycling, zip wires, beautiful walks through the woodland and of course we had to try out the Segway experience. Rosses Point was recommended but we run out of time. Highly recommend this house and holiday location for all the family including our 4 legged member.

The village of Keash has a Roman Catholic Church and a local pub within walking distance of the farmhouse, though the village is mainly recognised as home to its ancient caves, which are one of Sligos most undiscovered delights.
These haunting hollows open up the side of the mountain and can be spotted from many miles away.
