Sheila’s house was the perfect getaway. When we arrived, we had no clear idea of what to expect but this blew every expectation out of the water.
The house is located on a hill near a small bay and has a gorgeous view over the bay and hills. The area is beautiful, one of our favorite spots along the wild Atlantic way. There are great walks in the area, Erris Head was gorgeous and Ballycroy National Park is a short drive away and full of adventure. The village is small, but the local pub is lively and there are shops and larger towns around. Everybody was kind to us in the town and when we told them we were staying in Sheila’s place they all knew her, so we felt very welcome.
The house was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well-equipped and both bathrooms were lovely, as were all the bedrooms. The living area is comfortable and cozy and when we lit the fire one night we never wanted to leave the lounging chairs.
Sheila welcomed us with many local tips and a lovely welcome basket with homemade scones and her own honey, which was such a sweet touch. She was available to us throughout the trip and even let us know when there was live music in the pub for trad night.
All in all, we had an amazing stay and wouldn’t mind coming back sometime (soon! :) )
