Ardtarmon House and Self-Catering Cottages |
|
|
You are welcome to Ardtarmon where you will find comfortable and relaxing accommodation in unique surroundings. The name Ardtarmon comes from the Irish language 'Ard' meaning 'High' and 'Tarmon' meaning 'a sanctuary' or 'Church Lands'. There are other 'Tarmons' in Ireland but this is the only townland with this prefix. Ardtarmon is located on the north shore of Sligo Bay, 11 miles Northwest of Sligo with panoramic views of mountain and sea up to 60 miles distant. The house and farm have been in the family for five generations since 1852 with the house being expanded over the years since the 1890's. The grounds around the house encompass about 10 acres with many trees enclosing different sections giving a number of different aspects and many varied walks. Amenities include a games room and all weather tennis court and a 500 metre path to the beach, which is safe for swimming and from where beach walks of many miles can begin. The sun may not always shine but the weather station has many years' records of rainfall and temperature. The HouseThe house and cottages are set among mature grounds in a quiet location in beautiful rural surroundings on the north coast of Sligo Bay, 11 miles north west of Sligo town in the Yeats Country. The house has been the family home since 1852. The residence offers tranquil, spacious and comfortable accommodation with a nineteenth century ambience, much original furniture and with four large en suite bedrooms. There is a notable feeling of quietness and peace as the nearest minor road is a quarter mile away. more information The CottagesThe five self-catering cottages in the original farm yard and grounds include a gate lodge, a thatched cottage and converted stone-built farm buildings.
