Ballinaraw House

The O'Scannlain Family Home
Bunnanadden, County Sligo

Relax in Peace and Tranquility at Ballinaraw House.

The house dates back to the mid-1800s when Great Grandfather Scanlon was a tenant farmer. His son was the head constable in RIC (Royal Irish Constabulary) and Ballinaraw House was called 'Head Scanlon's' House.' His son, Conn's father, was an IRA member fighting the in the War of Independence from 1919 - 1921 and an anti-treaty rebel during the Civil War from 1921-1923. In 1989 Conn started the restoration of the old house and the remodeling. In 2000 he purchased the adjoining lands to restore the original 20 acres that his Great Grandfather tenant-farmed. In 2001 the extension was completed, which tripled the original floor space. You will thoroughly enjoy the time you spend at Ballinaraw House. Enjoy your stay in our family home...Conn O'Scannlain
