Mary's house is located in a beautiful part of Ireland, in driving distance to many spots of natural beauty. The guest cottage is situated not far from Mary's house, with lovely gardens surrounding and a rushing river (when it rains) right on the land. The cottage is modestly but adequately outfitted, with a wood-burning stove. It's just outside Westport, a charming town, and the drive to the house is very sweet. Friendly dogs greet you when you arrive. Mary was extremely helpful in making suggestions for nearby places of interest, both outdoor excursions and museums and castles. We really enjoyed our stay at Mary's and in the area of County Mayo.
