This place is hidden gem. Absolutely secluded and peaceful in the hearth of the best what West Ireland can offer. There was great communication with Richard prior our visit and he was quick to answer all our queries.
At the place we were met by Adrian and he is just a true gentleman. The Boat House cottage is just perfect in all aspects and Adrian had the fire place going upon our arrival which was great. There were even fresh flowers in most of the rooms which was a really lovely touch. As promised few welcome treats were provided. Later in the week we have received home-baked scones from Ruth which was so nice.
As described the area is amazing. The kids were building fairy houses in the woods, we could see pine martens returning from hunt and hear the birds singing all day.
Despite typical Irish summer we managed to discover all interesting parts of Co. Mayo as the location of this cottage is so central to all. We did most of the shopping in the local village Crossmolina which is about 10min away.
To summarise we can't recommend this place and the hosts enough and we will try to return one day.
