    We are thinking of moving to a house here just wondering what this estate and coolaney is like?
    Whats the bus service like to Sligo? I checked bus eireann website and for some of the bus times there is dots at coolaney stop does this mean it doesn't stop there at this time?
    http://www.buseireann.ie/pdf/1315579738-475.pdf

    Any help would be appreciated we have had bad luck with cold damp houses and now we have a 6 month old baby so don't want to be in this kind of house

    Thanks

    The dots mean that this service does not go to that stop.

    The public transport is almost non-existent from looking at the bus timetable.

    If you were depending on public transport it probably would not be an option.

    Collooney or Ballymote are on the train line and there is a train every 2 hours and might be worth considering. Also a much better bus service.

    i live there.
    it's a quiet estate..you could hear a pin drop outside after 10.30....few kids around during the day playing, but all nice kids...we've never had any hasstle there in any way.

    are you buying or renting ?...if buying, make sure and inspect the house very well....we had issues (bought new) and still have some drainage issues as do some of our neighbours.....and the gardens (everyones) are like swamps all year round...if good weather comes it takes a week to dry out......personally, i dont think the houses were as well built as i hear some say.
    one thing that bothers me is that it is all cheap partition walls upstairs, and the attic is a great size, you can easily walk around up there with loads of head space but you cant but any weight up there at all due to them partition walls.

    Thanks for the replies. We are renting, I noticed the garden when we viewed the estate agent said it was because of the all the rain lately so thats good to know. That has put me off now :(

    No its great to get advice from someone living there. We have had trouble with crappy houses in Sligo so we want to make sure we find somewhere good. We have a dog and small baby so the garden is something we really need.
    Its a shame because Coolaney is a lovely town and the house is nice but we will keep looking. I'm going to post another thread for advice on estates in colloney, ballymote and ballasadare.
