The Schoolhouse in Annaghmore was built in the 1860s to educate local children.
From the moment you arrive, you will be utterly charmed by this wonderful little house. It has a fascinating history, it is warm and welcoming and it is set in a great location. The Schoolhouse at Annaghmore was built in the 1860s to educate local children. Nowadays its cosy vestibule leads through to a light-filled sitting room where an open fire adds a welcoming glow.
Although in the heart of the countryside, the Schoolhouse is close to Sligo town where bustling streets are peppered with small boutiques, cafes, and bars, as well as a myriad of craft shops selling jewellery, pottery, and knitwear. Strandhill, Mullaghmore, and Enniscrone are within driving distance as are Lissadel House (check opening times) and the final resting place of W.B Yeats.






Built in the 1860s, The Schoolhouse, Annaghmore is an attractive rural building picturesquely located by the Owenmore River and surrounded by mature woodland. The building retains many original decorative features including ornamental wooden bargeboards and lattice windows surmounted by wooden hood mouldings. The most striking feature is the projecting oriel window on the upper east gable. The L-shaped one and a half storey building originally comprised of a two-storey accommodation area (the schoolmaster's residence) and a double height schoolroom. Some 19th Century schoolhouse furnishings still survive including the schoolhouse fireplace, coat hooks and chalkboards.
