  • "It was a beautiful comfortable house."

    We came from Dublin as a family get together. A group of 9. We had a really lovely weekend. A very quiet peaceful area. Just what we needed.

  • "We really loved the home, especially the large kitchen and sun room areas."

    The outdoor views were fantastic! The home also had an eclectic and personal charm that was quite endearing, and equipped with everything to make our stay most comfortable. Our contact, Rose, was excellent to deal with. We feel fortunate to have found this wonderful place!

    It was extremely clean and comfortable and perfectly located for visiting the area. The views all around were gorgeous and it was extremely quiet and peaceful. It contained everything we needed for a cottage holiday and we would certainly recommend it.

  • "This house was perfect for our group of 4 retired couples."

    It was clean, well equipped and well maintained. The house is spacious and roomy and has beautiful mountain views. The garden is also lovely with plenty of sitting areas - if only the weather had been good ! This is one of the best properties we have stayed in in Ireland.

  • "Ben View was a very comfortable and clean house for our group of 7, with plenty of space for everyone."

    The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of crockery to enable us to run the dishwasher efficiently, the beds have comfortable mattresses. The house instantly felt like a true home from home. When we had issues with the electrics caused by a power cut, things were quickly resolved by Michael who lives next door. We are already trying to work out when we can come back!

  • "This house had the best equipped kitchen ever."

    There were so many games, videos, cd's and books that everyone had plenty of choice. The house and beds were really comfortable. The only things that we would mention is that the downstairs bedroom had a musty smell and although the property advertised having WiFi it only worked for the tv which was really not ideal for the teenagers

    House was beautifully decorated and equipped with everything spotlessly clean! Location was central to mountain walks, beaches with short distance to Clifden and of course to Westport. Vincent was very helpful. We would definitely stay there again Mary Raphael and family.

  • "Fantastic property in beautiful mature gardens."

    Very comfortable and suitable for a large family group. One downstairs en suite bedroom which is perfect for anybody with mobility issues. If you have small children, there are stairgates top and bottom for safety and lots of safe garden for them to play in. The owner has spent a lot of time updating the bathrooms and a lot of the furniture has also been replaced recently which isn't shown in the property photos yet so that was a lovely surprise. The kitchen diner is a real hub and stocked with everything you could need, including a very nice coffee machine. Ample space in the two living rooms allow for some quiet space or group evenings. There are books and games as well as lots of outside seating and a barbecue. Ample parking for several cars. This truly is a home that you are renting, not a sterile, depersonalised corporate space and you feel relaxed from the moment you arrive. The owner is extremely helpful and contacted us prior to our arrival which was a lovely personal touch. We are already planning our return visit to our favourite place.

Across the bay are the mountains of Mweelrea and Croagh Patrick, and within easy reach are Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey, and Inishbofin Island, not to mention numerous walking and cycling routes, sea cruises, angling trips and much more.
