Accommodation
A double bedroom with sink and electric shower.
Sunday is family day and Workawayers are encouraged to organise a trip away or to rest in their room on this day.
Accommodation will be needed for close family members during the Christmas Period so we will be unable to host from mid-December through to Early January.
What else ...
My folks live 6 miles from Sligo Town. Sligo is a beautiful coastal town where sea-surfing, mountain climbs and forest walks are strongly encouraged.
Train and bus services are a short car journey from the house and we will advise the Workawayer of the most interesting places to visit and explore in the North West of Ireland.
