You won't find a better spot to stay in Mayo!. You have a beautiful view of the lake from the sitting room. We were here in the Winter but I can imagine how nice it would be to sit on the garden bench in the Summer. Hopefully we'll be able to come back.
You can drive in to Belmullet in about 10 minutes (would recommend Talbot's for food). If you get a chance, take a right turn at Barnatra and drive the coastal loop bavk around to the house-stunning views. Blacksod Lighthouse is a short drive past Belmullet, with some beach stops along the way.
It was about one hour to drive to Achill and we had a great time exploring.
Tom and Ann were a pleasure to deal with.
The house itself was spotlessly clean and well stocked with everything you need, especially in the kitchen. There were board games, lots of dvds and also excellent wifi. I would move in tomorrow if I could!
I'd highly recommend this house. Thank you, Tom.
