Shintilla is in a beautiful location, perfect as a base to explore Mayo and the wild Atlantic way. We stayed as a family of 5 with a dog and the house sufficiently met our needs. There is a small beach area on the shore of Lough Mask within walking distance where you can swim in the lake. There’s also a pub/restaurant a couple of mins walk away.
The kitchen has plenty of utensils for cooking. There’s a tv/dvd player. There’s no WiFi so make sure you download anything you need to before you arrive.
There’s a nice enclosed garden to the front of the house. Also a nice patio with furniture outside so you can sit and enjoy the views across the Lough.
The stairs in the house are open and quite steep, so be mindful of that if you have very young children or mobility issues.
We had an enjoyable week in the house.
