There's not much I can say that the other reviews haven't. Heron Lodge was lovely. We met Eamonn when we arrived who was nice and friendly. Apart from this we were left in private. The cabin itself was the perfect size for my partner and me. It was well-kept and secluded. You can see the river from the window and hear it constantly which was added to the experience. The veranda attached to the cabin was very useful. We spent a day barbecuing and sitting in the sun without leaving Heron Lodge. My biggest concern before arriving was the toilet and shower situation. The shower was perfect and the toilet did the trick. A proper toilet would obviously be nicer, but the eco toilet really wasn't bad at all. For what the place has to offer, I wouldn't let the eco toilet deter you. Westport was only a 12 minute drive away, as was Croagh Patrick. The dogs Rolo and Biscuit were as cute and friendly. If we decided to do a getaway in Mayo again, we will likely go back to Heron Lodge.
