LOCATION
Sligo 32.2km/20 miles, Sligo Airport 29km/18 miles, 45 minutes from Knock International Airport.



DESCRIPTION
Toberpatrick Lodge dates from circa 1740 and is one of Sligo's important listed historic houses. It commands unparalleled uninterrupted coastal and sea views overlooking Sligo bay to the cliffs of Donegal.



The property consists of a six bedroomed lodge complete with all of its original Georgian features maintained to the highest standard, and has undergone recent renovations such as rewiring and re-plumbing.



To the front, the house faces the ocean with a magnificent aspect. To the rear it has the benefit of a walled courtyard with various outbuildings and garaging. The property also includes a walled garden, and orchard of circa 1 acre and 10 acres of good quality grazing land suitable for horses.



Toberpatrick Lodge has a wonderfully rich history: it takes its name from the spring well on the property which is reputed to have been visited by Saint Patrick. There is a long tradition of artists and writers having stayed here, no doubt receiving inspiration from the tranquillity and grandeur of its setting. Its magic makes it perfect for large, convivial gatherings and also solitary, quiet retreats.



The house is located 20 minutes from Sligo, a busy and vibrant market town with many restaurants, fine shops, galleries and theatres. There are many well regarded schools within Sligo town. Local amenities include three world renowned golf courses within 30 minutes drive, some of the best salmon fishing rivers in Ireland, superb trout fishing in both lough and river, riding stables with the freedom to ride on open sandy beaches, wonderful walks: both in the hills and along the stunning coastline and access to local renowned private shoots.



Air travel is well catered for in the area: Sligo Airport has daily flights to and from Dublin and Britain. Knock International Airport has daily flights to many destinations in Europe and the U.S. Dublin city is also easily accessible by car and train.
