  Description

  Hi guys , We live in the beautiful north west of Ireland on a 4 acer site , the house is a 200 year old cut stone cottage and we are about 20 minutes from sligo town .
  
  Sligo is a great place to live as we have good food, mountains for hiking , rock for climbing , waves for surfing and the odd gig for dancing.
  
  I live here with my Partner and my Parents live next door .
  
  We are not aiming to reinvent the wheel here and happy to keep it all simple.
  
  We have a nice semi modern mobile home on site with 3 small bedrooms , gas heating and cooking.
