About this property
Hidden away in the scenic seaside village of Killala in County Mayo, Georges Street is a fantastic townhouse offering up a wonderful retreat to the west coast of Ireland for a family of five. Come together in the well-equipped kitchen to bake tasty treats, or cook up a storm as you prepare a hearty home cooked meal for all to enjoy whilst gathered at the attractive country-style dining table. Rest and recuperate in the homely sitting room, where you can turn on the pretty electric fire and snuggle up to loved ones on the sumptuous leather sofas, as you watch a captivating movie on the TV. After a fun-filled day exploring the coast, freshen up in the handy cloakroom or continue up the staircase to the first-floor shower room and delight in a long rejuvenating rinse in the spacious walk-in shower. Also on this floor, two well-appointed bedrooms comprising a double and a triple bunk provide a peaceful space to lay your head to rest at the end of your days. Catch the last of the summer sunshine with evenings out on the patio, indulging in a refreshing glass of wine whilst taking a moment to appreciate time well-spent with those closest to you. With a good selection of restaurants and a number of bustling bars and restaurants, there's plenty opportunity to delight in an evening on the town, and even a takeaway for those quiet nights indoors.

Good starting point to explore north Mayo. House itself is very comfortable and roomy, taken good care of. There was literally everything we needed for a comfortable stay for a family. The host was wonderful, really took care or everything. There were even treats for our first breakfast! Would love to stay again anytime..

The apartment was clean, well maintained and well equipped with ornaments to add to the homely feel. Our hosts were readily available for any problems eg. the microwave had stopped working and we had a replacement within a few hours. The village was quaint with a historical walk and old buildings and a lovely pub to sit, soak in the atmosphere and enjoy a Guinness. Views over water were lovely and it was well positioned for our sightseeing in the surrounding areas. The Centra food store just around the corner was stocked with an incredible amount of produce.
