Our family stayed at the B cottage for a fortnight. All is as described, with wonderful calmness and remoteness, yet only 10 min from Castlebar. The house equipment is outdated, so harder to keep clean (yet Mans works hard, does all what can be done about it!). And you have all what you need at hand. The last metres of the road are like a jungle, as some before us wrote, but it is similar to many county roads we drove on, because the shrubs grow literally over night. Maybe some gardening shears at hand in the house would help if you encounter a bigger branch.
All together it was a great stay, we would definitely go back, also because Mans was a kind and professional host - a good advert for Irish hospitality.
