What else ...
Our village is one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. We are surrounded by sand dunes, Knocknarea Mtn - a 330m tall "mountain" with beautiful views of Donegal, Sligo, and Leitrim Counties. It is also the site of several Megalithic Tombs, including Queen Maeve's Tomb. We are at the heart of a seaside surfing village and our property is a two-minute walk from the beach.
We are just 8km outside of Sligo town which has connections by bus and train to the rest of the country. There is a bus stop that is also a two-minute walk up the road with easy access by bus into town every hour.

I came to Strandhill thinking I'd stay a month tops, but stayed for 3 months (or more, not sure lol). Strandhill is absolutely beautiful, even though it was winter when I was there and it was a bit chilly, I was nice and cozy in my room. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to stay there. Michael the owner was… read more

I have spent there more than 1 month. People were great, we have celebrated Christmas and NYE together as a family and there was a "community" relaxed atomosphere. The job in that period of time wasn't that hard but generally is really fair and easy to learn.… read more
