The Hare Cottage was ideally situated for our family holiday in Mayo in celebration of New Years. Our boys 8 years and 11 years really loved the walks we took and playing with John's dog in the yard. Although situated well outside of town, we were close enough to Castlebar to conveniently drive in for food shopping and to meet with friends who live in the surrounding area. The scenery from the cottage widows was stunning as we could watch the Mayo weather change over the course of a day. As for the cottage itself, the space was cozy and clean. Our kids really enjoyed watching movies via projector, and there was a decent selection of DVDs for them. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and there was ample heat and hot water provided. John was available to answer our questions and made us feel truly welcome.
