Helen's house is spacious, very clean, has a close back garden which is great for kids and a bit of privacy. The best thing I found was the locality to Ballina town centre. It is literally a stones throw from it. It hS a shop straight acrosd the road. Ballina itself is a fantatsic wee town with loads of shops, bars and eateries. It has beautiful walks across bridges, parks and forests and the play park is fantatsic for kids with an enclosed football, basketball and tennis courts all free to use. Helen is a great host, answered any queries we had within minutes of messaging. Inishcrone is 16 minute drive away (fantatsic beach with great waves). We had a fantastic time in great weather and most definitely be back again. We even had the privilege of being able to invite friends and family down to stay throughout the week which kept us and our kids company.
