Just spent an amazing week at the top house. The setting is stunning with spectacular views to the front and rear. The seating area just inside the gate offered a quiet space to sit out and dine or just relax. The cottage itself contained everything that you could need and a stove provided heat to stave off the evening chill. There is no phone reception but there is Internet connectivity. This is not a bad thing and adds to the charm of the cottage. William is a first rate host, friendly and very helpful, providing information on things to do in the area and further afield. William has managed to include the modern conveniences and not take away from the charm of the cottage. There are a variety of walks just outside the door from an easy stroll to more challenging hikes in the surrounding hills. Further afield Clonbur , Ballinrobe, Lenanne and Westport were within easy reach by car. I would highly recommend a stay at the top house.
