Veronica and Richard were wonderful hosts, when we arrived the fire was on. There was milk, butter, yogurt, fruit and marmalade in the fridge, coffee, tea and sugar in the cupboard. There was an information pack on the coffee table, that explained how things worked, advice on what to see (eg) Croagh Patrick, the Fjord and cycling around Westport. The views were spectacular, we could see the waves break on the seashore (approx 500 m ) from the living-room window of the cottage. There were free range eggs on the farm that we availed of, little lambs wandered around the cottage, that the kids enjoyed.
It was mystifying to wake up early, have a coffee, look out at the sea at the breaking of dawn, as the kids slept in bed, Bliss!!!!
The weather was sunny for the few days that we were there, had a lovely climb on Croagh Patrick, followed by lunch and a well deserved lager. We cycled 20 km on Achill with the family, followed by swim and sauna at the Westport hotel, highly recommended !!!.
Nothing else to say, except wish we could have stayed longer, will see you again in the summer, some lovely beaches near the house where you can learn to surf.
Thanks a million
