My mom, husband and I loved staying at Gaoth na mara. It was our first time in Ireland and the first place we stayed in and by far the nicest! The space was so cozy and inviting. The cot for my one year old was prepared and very comfortable for him. I have shared a number of airbnbs and this was definitely one of the best. We loved the area. We took walks along the beach and road. My son loved watching the sheep, cows and horses. The landscape is stunning. We took a few day trips to various castles and landmarks, but our favorite part of staying here was visiting the local town, Louisburgh and eating at Tia and Louisburgh 74. Both are great options! We felt so welcomed and can’t wait to return some day. We also visited Westport, a town a little further away quite a few times. It’s a very pretty town with lots of restaurants and shops. I’ll admit it took us a while to get used to driving because of the narrow roads but this was especially difficult for us coming from the US and driving on the opposite side of the road. The house is very nicely decorated and has a lot of amenities. The kids room was a nice surprise as my son really enjoyed playing with the toys and we read to him from the books as well. Catherine was such a nice host and very understanding as we did change our plans a few times. I definitely recommend staying here if you want to get away and be surrounded by idyllic fields and the stunning ocean down the road.
