Just stayed for the weekend with my two children, aged 17 and 11, at this beautifully renovated cottage and I would highly recommend it for a relaxing rural break.
It is such a peaceful location with lovely views across the open countryside and it was the perfect spot for some rest and relaxation after a rather hectic few weeks for us all.
The cottage was warm and spotlessly clean with all amenities included and, most importantly for the children, it had excellent Wifi connection! Despite its rural location, it is only a five minute drive to Ballaghadereen and nine minutes to Charlestown for any shopping or eating out and is only a 20 minute drive to Knock Airport. A trip to Westport took us only 40 minutes so it is an excellent base to explore Mayo and Sligo and is very easily accessible. The host was very welcoming, phoning us on our arrival to make sure that everything was in order and making himself available to answer any questions that we had. The house has a warm family feel to it, the gallery wall of family photos giving some insight into the people who have lived there for generations before. We loved it and we will most certainly be back !
