An old converted Cottage style Farm-house which reflects times gone by, with stove Heating and open fire for guests in their living quarter. The bedrooms are neutrally decorated all with double bed, wardrobe space. The Bathroom, Kitchen are shared. There is a shared livingroom for Guests and a poolroom where you will meet others to share experiences with and socialize. The rooms are all peaceful and quietly positioned so for those who need a break, can retire into a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Due to its location you will find no noise or disturbances, just calm and collective peace. For those who want a pub-crawl the next pub is 2 miles away. With a drive of 6.5 minutes, you are in the Heart of Westport where you will find connecting roads to Achill Island, Leenaune, Connemara , just a stone throw away. Enjoy the peace and calm of Ireland with us.
We are a couple that would like to introduce the guests to a real Irish welcome with heart. So your holiday will have that little bit extra where Ireland is known for. We welcome you to stay with us, with a heart felt welcome. Katrin +Martin
Our abode is set in the true Irish countryside where you can enjoy peace tranquility and nature at its best. You have access to Clogher Lake through our field without restricting fences so you discover real beauty over a slight hill. The area has roads where you can walk, cycle and explore one of the roads leads to an old village that has old stone buildings and will give you a feeling of times gone by. The two roads to westport will lead you through hilly surroundings with beautiful views of the Nephin Beg range, connecting Newport down to Achil Island. This you could do by bycicle or car. We have more information about the routes if you like. The overall scenery is nature at its best Down the road is Jack's old cottage which you can visit, it is completely layed out ina time gone by and shows how families lived in centuries gone by. There is so much to see, let us entice you and inform you about many amenities in Mayo.
