First of all, I was really surprised to find such an affordable accomodation in this scenic of County Mayo. I traveled with my daughter and found the cottage was really spacious - it's prefect for a family or a couple. The communication with the host was really easy and fast. We had one technical problem during our stay and it was resolved instantly by Rory's co-host Breda (although it was All-Ireland-Game-Sunday!!).
For children (mine was 5 year old) the areas offers a lot of little adventurous possibilities, such as:
- Climbing around the stone coast next to Downpatrick Head (right around the corner)
- Collecting shells on silver-sandy beaches at Lacken sands
- Horserideing at Iceford Stables in Ballina (very nice horsetrainer)
- Discovering a fairy forest around Belleek Castel, Ballina (that was amazing!!)
- Pretending to go fishing :))
- Eating delicious apple pie with custard in "On the way" café in Killala
Plus: The living room offers a spectacular view of an ocean sunset in the evenings and if you're lucky with the weather, you may enjoy your dinner outside.
