    “This is easily the best holiday house we have stayed at and we have visited the west of Ireland many times over the years.”

    The house itself is a former family home and it is still well loved . It was spotlessly clean. The house was well heated and cosy. Bright and nicely painted. The owners had left no stone unturned to make sure that the house was excellent accommodation. Lovely garden outside with vegetable patch and a few sheep. Outdoor seating . Great shower . Plenty of kitchen equipment . Washing machine . Proper home from home . Also great walking / cycling area 5 minutes from access to the Greenway . Bonus ...

The owners had left no stone unturned to make sure that the house was excellent accommodation. Lovely garden outside with vegetable patch and a few sheep. Outdoor seating . Great shower . Plenty of kitchen equipment . Washing machine . Proper home from home . Also great walking / cycling area 5 minutes from access to the Greenway . Bonus is that it seems remote and peaceful but is handy for Newport Westport Mulranny and Castlebar. Lots to see in the area . Good places to eat locally. Perfect spot. The icing on the cake was Patsy’s home made soda bread and scones. We are very keen to stay again , the sooner the better.

About the location

NEWPORT, COUNTY MAYO

Westport 8 miles; Castlebar 13 miles.

The small, picturesque harbour town of Newport lies along the shores of Clew Bay in Mayo, just north of Westport. Clew Bay is famed for its sea angling and water activities for any level of experience. Flowing through the town is the Black Oak River providing excellent fishing opportunities and wonderful walkways along its grassy banks and the Beltra Lake is also regarded as one of the best fresh water fishing lakes in Europe. Newport holds an annual ‘Splash’ festival, a fun filled day of water themed activities for young and old. The town of Newport is home to a charming coffee shop, welcoming pubs and mouth watering eateries, all complemented by the 19th century viaduct on the main street. Walking routes are plentiful and these include the Burrishoole & Mulranny Loops. Further afield you can visit the Ceide Fields near Ballycastle, and the Museum of Country Life.
