About this property
Country House Retreat in Co Sligo - Holiday & Wellness - West Coast of Ireland
The Wild Atlantic Way features wonderful untouched nature ready to explore. Branchfield House is a unique family home set in rural countryside surrounded by grazing fields. The self-catering kitchen is a cook's delight so bring your favourite ingredients. Pick your own seasonal organic herbs, vegetables and fruit from the host's garden. The beds are sumptuous with goose down duvets. The cast iron bath is huge and the power shower a pleasure. Many cosy nooks and corners to enjoy. Nearby are trout fishing, mussel picking, horse riding and adventure walks. Your hosts live in a cottage across the courtyard garden that's full of seasonal vegetables and free range chickens. Enquire about our in-house Massage, Aromatherapy and Seaweed Baths. A great Country Retreat to chill, relax and revitalise in peace and quiet.

About the host
Hosted by Robert Campbell-Lloyd
Carmen & Robert brought their family to the west coast in 1998 for a life after Australia, Germany and England.
The name Branchfield House comes from the Townland name Branchfield in County Sligo. It's architecture has both Irish and English heritage... now lovingly restored.
Our children are spread all over the world and so we welcome our guests to share in what the family has created.
Carmen is a qualified masseuse specialising in stress-relief therapies and husband Robert is a Landscape Architect with an internet business WORLD smallest KITE.
They each share a passion for cooking, rarely eat out, make exquisite tea and coffee, use exclusive organic ingredients with home grown seasonal herbs, veg, eggs and wine.
The kitchen garden produces seasonal crops and a work in progress is daily attendance of a beautifully restored Victorian Orangery that provides salad veges and early morning sunshine.
Our own Airbnb travels seek 3 basics - a cosy bed, excellent shower pressure and pure drinkable water and we think you will enjoy all three.
Carmen's liking for making her guests feel at home can only be called luxurious and she recommends guests to bring their favourite cosy slippers as we encourage shoes off-at-the-door... slippers also provided.
The Guest House is set across a landscaped courtyard that catches the best of the sun and guests are welcome to bask in the many private nooks.
The surrounding land is farmed with grazing cows and sheep and the courtyard has chickens, ducks and birds that sing the dawn chorus.
Robert is usually found gardening or restoring the dry stone walls so there's normally someone on hand to assist with enquiries.
Carmen has fluent German and Robert fluent Australian :-)
If what you seek is privacy then we'll leave you to enjoy.
We look forward to your visit.
