A wonderful stay
Publié le 8 août 2018 sur HomeAwayWe loved the week we spent in Desmond and Mary's house. Eerything was perfect!
The house is spacious and comfortable and was very clean . It is located in a very quiet place and overlooking the sea which makes for a fantastic view. We really enjoyed having our meals in the dining-room with all the bay windows and such a stuuning view. We could also see the cows and calves much to the children's delight.
There are plenty of things to do in the area: fishing, windsurfing, swimming (the house is a 10-minute walk to a private beach) riding on the beach ( a must for horse riders), hiking, that's for sports-minded people but there are many other possible activities and Mary has a daily programme prepared if you are short of ideas with a lot of tips on where to eat and so on.
However what makes this place special is how exceptional the owners are. They are the loveliest people , really keen on making you feel welcome and helping you in any way they can (the bookings, getting lobsters for you, showing you around the farm if interested ...). We greatly apreciated the interaction we had with them. Many thanks to Desmond and Mary for making our holiday quite unique!

A wonderful, magical place!
Publié le 1 août 2024 sur HomeAwayWe stayed here for two weeks with our three little kids (all three and under). Mary and Des went out of their way to give us a warm welcome. They provided excellent local recommendations, lots of amenities, and tractor rides for the kids. The space itself was beautifully situated on a quiet road overlooking the beach, calves gamboling in a field, and the hills beyond. It was a very relaxing environment. The house was spacious, extremely clean and well cared for. We hope to stay here again!

Brittany, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. We’re delighted that you and your family enjoyed your stay. Great that the local recommendations and the tractor rides for the kids made your visit special. As an Irish family run business, we love providing great accommodation and personalised care. Thank you for your kind compliments on the spaciousness, cleanliness, and maintenance of the house. The image of cows and calves playing in the field with the sea and mountains as a backdrop paints a serene picture. We feel we are so lucky to share a little bit of paradise with our visitors! Thanks again for staying with us. Mary and Des

Just Magical! 🌟
Publié le 26 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayI cannot recommend Ballinful House enough! Desi and Mary made us feel so welcome. The house is cozy, the views are out of a postcard! There's hiking just outside the door. The location is amazing!
It was so nice to have a kitchen that was well stocked. There were plenty of towels and the showers were great.
We went to Ireland and stayed in Galway, Sligo, and Dublin. We unanimously agreed that Sligo/Ballinful House was our favorite!

Leslie and family, We are so happy you enjoyed staying at Herdsman's House and you had everything you needed and more.

We strive to make guests feel welcome and have a Magical Authentic Irish Experience. Warm Regards, Mary, Des, Elena, and Tola

A Month In Ireland
Publié le 20 mai 2024 sur HomeAwayThis property turned out to be the perfect location for us. Close to all things and people we love. We spent a month here and by the time we left we felt like part of the community. It was definitely rural but only 10km to N17 and the views were beautiful. I definitely miss watching the calves playing in the field across from the house. My personal opinion - you need a car to see the best of Ireland. The house was stocked with everything you need and spotless. Mary & Des were great hosts and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

An amazing holiday in a great location
Publié le 7 nov. 2023 sur HomeAwayA comfortable well equipped and spacious bungalow with outstanding views of Silgo Bay. The property was very clean, during our 3 weeks stay the the property was cleaned and bedlinen changed to cater for our family who stayed with us during the holiday.
However, the one of the most important element of the holiday was the welcome and great times shown by the hosts Desmond and Mary. They kept the grandchildren entertained with tractor driving and feeding the bullocks.
We would definitely stop at the property if we visited this part of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Very clean, very comfortable, beautiful location and warm hospitality. Our best VRBO experience.
Publié le 28 août 2023 sur HomeAwayFour family members and I stayed for a week and enjoyed the house and all its amenities very much. The quality of the house and its beautiful seaside location was only surpassed by the kindness and consideration of our hosts, Mary and Des. They went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with all aspects of our stay. I recommed this VRBO highly. And, if one needs a larger space for, say, a family reunion or business retreat, they have beautiful modern accomodations called the Sligo Sea Barn overlooking the bay as well.

Nailed it it!
Publié le 18 août 2023 sur HomeAwayFantastic place, wonderful hosts, the accommodations are TEN star! Des and Mary made us very welcome and know all the best place to visit in the Sligo area. You cannot buy the kind attention they gave us and the 4 kids (ages 10, 8, 5 and 3)…e.g., sitting with the cows, driving the tractor, access to the beach , touring the Sea Barn…we just had a wonderful time. The house has 4 great bedroom, 2 bathrooms, great kitchen, mud room with washer and dryer, lovely dining area and sitting sun room. Highly recommend this house or their Sligo Sea Barn for a family or large group holiday. The Murphy’s and Collette’s

James and families,
Thank you for the 10 STAR rating! It was an absolute pleasure to have you stay with us. What a great week WE all had! A little meditation with the cows and some tractor driving 'lessons' was great fun. Thank you for your kind compliments on our spacious house and all its facilities. We are passionate about sharing our culture, hospitality, and our beautiful seaside location. We were happy to give you a tour of our new luxury, self-catering group accommodation - Sligo Sea Barn. Exclusivity, stunning views, and a paved path to the sea makes our place special and unique! Thank you so very much again for staying with us. Des, Mary, Elena and Tola

Didn't want to leave
Publié le 7 août 2023 sur HomeAwayMy worries that Herdsman's house was too far from "things to do" was pointless. It was a perfect location - about 20 minutes drive from everything we wanted to do. Quiet evenings back at the house with a view to the ocean were well-spent. Des and Mary made us feel so welcome and had great suggestions for things to do. The house has to be one of the cleanest places I've ever been too as well. I can't recommend the place highly enough.

Suzanne and family, It is always exciting meeting someone from a 'new' country, but especially our first visitors from Norway! We were a bit worried too, but also pointless!! What lovely memorable guests you were and it was our pleasure to bring you to all our special spots in the area. Thanks for your compliments regarding the cleanliness of Herdsman's House and the views you enjoyed every day. Warm Regards, Mary, Des, and Elena
