TESTIMONIALS

We had the most idyllic stay at milk harbour. It is in such a great location near to so many beautiful beaches. Although leaving the accommodation to explore the area was a tough challenge! It is absolutely beautiful, the attention to detail and the immaculate condition of the house and garden were just stunning. It was such a treat, like staying in a 5 star hotel but with our own privacy. The thoughtful touches of jam and milk and wine were just lovely after a long journey. We’ll definitely be back. Steve and Geraldine are fantastic hosts. Thanks a million for everything.

It is with the greatest reluctance that I am writing this review. I want to keep Milk Harbour Holidays as my personal secret and not share with everyone, the most special place that i have ever stayed in Ireland. Before the pandemic, my Ireland breaks were to places like Ashford Castle or Sheen Falls or Ballyfin. Obviously now, we are looking at self catering alternatives and for that reason, I selected Milk Harbour Holidays. The highest praise that I can give to Steve and Geraldine is that they have created a place that that outshines any of the hotel resorts mentioned above. Every detail is perfect – both Steve and Geraldine are fastidious in creating a “home from home” for those who desire accommodation of the highest standard. The location is stunning and for those in Dublin who “troop” to the south west, I cannot recommend the Sligo/Leitirm area highly enough. It has everything – scenery, history, golden empty beaches, forest walks and all just 2 hours and a bit from the M50. So, I am going online to book my next break before the rest of you jump in! Thanks, Steve and Geraldine … for allowing us to experience for a few days, the heavenly place of which you are the perfect custodians! Ambrose

Steve and Geraldine have done a great job creating comfortable, warm accommodations surrounded by elements of nature. We stayed 6 nights over the holiday season, and our only disappointment was that our time there had to end. We will be back.

We were lucky enough to spend more than two weeks in the Forge Apartment in the run up to Christmas. Geraldine and Steve were so welcoming, which set the scene for the duration of our stay. The apartment was perfect and had everything we needed and more to make our stay comfortable. We are looking forward to our next visit!

We had the most amazing stay at Milk Harbour. Everywhere is so clean and tidy, the views are outstanding and so beautiful whatever time of the day. The water is inviting and easy to jump into at high tide, great for kids and very safe. Enjoy watching the seals basking on the sands, a rare treat.There is so much to do in the area, loads of places to visit, fabulous safe beaches and great places to eat. I really enjoyed a beach ride with Island View Riding Stables, excellent adherence to Covid regulations, great staff, beautiful horses and stunning beaches.

From the time of initially booking to check out Geraldine and Steve were fantastic hosts that gave great info and advise about what to see and do in the area, always on hand to help while also respecting your privacy – the perfect balance! The apartment itself is beautiful, very spacious and immaculately maintained with thoughtful touches everywhere. The location is very peaceful but still within a few minutes drive of shops, beaches etc.  Cannot recommend Milk Harbour enough. Stunning and spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need right down to the much appreciated teabags and milk waiting for us on arrival! We will definitely be back!

This is easily the BEST place to stay if you're planning on making the most of Sligo, Leitrim and the south of Donegal. It's literally 10-15mins from all the big sights, and what's truly wonderful is that you also can sit and relax, sipping your fresh morning coffee, looking across the way at Classiebawn and the Slieve League cliffs beyond. The accommodation is spacious, clean, fresh and the lovely owners have thought of everything, with all the mod cons you might need. Highly recommended, 5 stars !

Myself, husband and 2 teenagers stayed in the forge. The house is absolutely beautiful with 2 ensuite bedrooms, kitchen, living room everything is to an extremely high standard and beautiful. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Steve and Geraldine are lovely and have thought of everything you may need. We appreciated the binoculars, fab towels (including for the beach), fleeces, bottle of wine and the lovely natural bathroom and kitchen products. The weather was bad, but location allowed us to do plenty of touring and we loved siting in with the fire anyway. There are plenty of shops close by and 2 lovely resteraunts (harrisons and langs) , although you would need a car, they're no more than 5 min drive away. Steve also provided us with table tennis and indoor badminton which got plenty of use! Would recommend this place to anyone and look forward to returning!

We have just returned from Milk Harbour Holiday Apartments.What an amazing restorative place it is.Steve and Geraldine were tremendous hosts by setting the tone from the very outset of our booking with their careful informative and helpful response emails to their warm and genuine welcome on arrival.The Forge is so cosy and comfortable not to mention being beyond well equipped.The beds are another level of comfort.Luxurious products abound in every corner you can imagine.The still and tranquil harbour brings peace to the soul.It is a place where you can re-connect with your inner self, with the world of nature and with others if you so want.We can’t believe we were so lucky to find this beautiful place and a really engaging and kind couple to be our hosts.We wish you every success going forward and will most definitely be back.

What an amazing place for a break. The Forge is just gorgeous, right beside the sea, the views are spectacular and the pictures don’t do it justice, you must see to believe! The hosts have thought of everything you could possibly need, the beds are so comfortable and there is a huge emphasis on attention to detail. The warmest welcome awaits, along with locally sourced treats and lots of local knowledge. Great location near lots of lovely beaches, Ben Bulben and Sligo town where there are lots of lovely shops and restaurants. We will definitely visit again.

What an amazing experience Steve and Geraldine have created!We stayed a week and did so much in the area - sea swimming (at the doorstep!), hiking, paddle boarding, cheeky outdoor pints, beach trips and more.The house itself was gorgeous, modern and well equipped - stupendous sunsets included! Lots of lovely chats and banter rounded up a wonderful week in Sligo :)

We stayed in the Forge 2 bed apartment for three nights. Spacious apartment kept to a very high standard. Absolutely everything you could need and more than you would expect in a self catering apartment; lovely touches left for guests to make their stays easier and more comfortable. Fabulous hosts who are on hand to help in any way. Definitely will be back!

This was without doubt the best self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in! Absolutely everything is perfect and to a very high standard. Not only that, Geraldine and Steve are fantastic hosts, so welcoming and enthusiastic about the many treasures in the area: walks, activities, shops & restaurants. We can't wait to go back!
