ABOUT US & MILK HARBOUR

Your Hosts

Milk Harbour Holidays is  based at the McCann’s homestead at Milk Harbour, which  has been home to the McCann family for over 150 years, The McCanns farmed the small holding, built boats and carts for clients from the northern end of Donegal down to Westport.

The property is now owned by Steve and Geraldine Barker, who live on site. Geraldine is a niece of the last McCann boat builders, Tom and John. The house and boatshed have recently been renovated and offer two self catering apartments with private entrances, one in the ground floor of the main house and the other  in The Boat House.

Geraldine will help you make your booking and is happy to provide information to help you plan your holiday before you arrive .  Geraldine and Steve live in the main house and will be on hand to welcome you and provide you with any support or advice you need during your holiday.

Environmentally Conscious

Due to our proximity to the sea and to an area of special scientific interest for marine and wild life, we are particularly conscious of our responsibility to maintain and wherever possible, improve, the local environment.

We try to place as little burden on the environment as possible. Measures  we have taken include installing: a new waste water recovery system; an environmentally friendly  air to water heating system; and mechanical ventilation system to make our home energy efficient.

We also avoid chemicals and manage our gardens sustainably.  wherever possible we also source locally. We hope that you will help us in living by the maxim: ‘leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but memories’.

We look forward to sharing the splendour and magic of North Sligo with you and to making your stay with us so special and memorable, that you want to come back again. This has been a family home for over 150 years and you can be assured of a very personal welcome here at Milk Harbour and we can provide an introduction to the wonders of this unique place on the Wild Atlantic Way, the longest defined coastal route in the world.

We welcome guests in either of our two apartments for a minimum three night stay.  Due to our proximity to the sea and livestock on adjoining fields, we are unable to host pets. Children are welcome but we do not have cots or other equipment and again, because of our proximity to the sea, children must be supervised by adults at all times.
