Want to write this review whilst Hare Cottage and Mayo is still fresh to my mind and eye.
Just back from a 3 night stay at Hare Cottage with my 2 nephews neither of whom wanted to leave. John and Angela are perfect hosts and made us feel right at home. The setting is wonderful and the rustic drive up to the cottage and the cottage itself both brought back many happy memories for me of my own childhood. It certainly also helped that the sun shone bright and continuous for the duration of our stay.
For the boys i would guess the highlights were helping John and sheepdog Juno to round up the sheep one morning, playing with Juno at every opportunity and getting to dig some new potatoes. But most of all its the freedom that Hare Cottage offers to run and jump and play.
On a more practical note the cottage is very close to Newport but also close to all other places of interest and is itself set in an area of what i would consider to be of outstanding natural beauty. We made it to Achill Island every day and back without too much bother
Idyllic would be a good choice of words.
We will hopefully make a return visit soon and will be looking to once again take up residence at Hare Cottage.
In summary from Alex, Dylan and David a great big thank you to John and Angela for helping to make our holiday in Mayo a most enjoyable success.
Best wishes for now and the future.
