It had everything you needed, very comfortable ,especially with the turf fire in the evening. We were also right next to the Greenway cycle path, and the hills behind the house were outstanding. Thank you, we'll be back, Steve &Julia Grant

The house itself is a former family home and it is still well loved . It was spotlessly clean. The house was well heated and cosy. Bright and nicely painted. The owners had left no stone unturned to make sure that the house was excellent accommodation. Lovely garden outside with vegetable patch and a few sheep. Outdoor seating . Great shower . Plenty of kitchen equipment . Washing machine . Proper home from home . Also great walking / cycling area 5 minutes from access to the Greenway . Bonus is that it seems remote and peaceful but is handy for Newport Westport Mulranny and Castlebar. Lots to see in the area . Good places to eat locally. Perfect spot. The icing on the cake was Patsyâs home made soda bread and scones. We are very keen to stay again , the sooner the better.
