We had a very enjoyable weeklong stay in the boathouse with our one year old pup. Alison is a charming and very welcoming host. The period property is a very comfortable two bedroom converted loft with a utility room and second bathroom downstairs. There is a comfortable lounge and a good kitchen. All the furniture and appliances are of a high standard. There is a small garden to the rear at 1st floor level with great views across the lake. We immediately felt at home here and even our puppy made friends with Alison's dogs. There is lots to do locally including climbing Nephin, lakeside walks and the North Mayo Heritage Centre and Enniscoe Estate (you have to do the lake looped walk) a 15 minute drive towards Crossmolina. It's also a great base for visiting Westport, Downpatrick Head , Croagh Patrick and Achill Island among others. We would definitely return and have no hesitation in recommending the Boathouse.
