"A remarkable cottage with a warm and welcoming host."
We had homemade bread and marmalade on arrival along with a bottle of wine!
The cottage itself has a warming fire at it's heart and amazing arrangement of objet d'art and collectables on the shelves, bookcases and tables.
It is great location for drives along the Wild Atlantic Way and there is lots to do in Westport with traditional Irish music every night.

We have nothing negative whatsoever to say about it. It is excellently located to explore everything Co.Mayo has to offer. The cottage is comfortable, well equipped and beautifully peaceful. It is immaculately neat and clean and is a credit to the owner, Kathleen who is the most welcoming, kind and generous host. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she is more than happy to recommend places to visit and eat and is a mind of useful information. When we arrived at the cottage provisions of bacon, sausage, eggs, milk and orange juice had all been provided by Kathleen and she had also left her homemade soda bread and whisky marmalade, both of which were delicious! All in all our stay in this wonderful little cottage was without a doubt the tonic we needed and we were sad to say goodbye. We will definitely visit again and are planning our next stay already. Thank you so much for everything Kathleen.
