This exceptionally pretty thatched cottage sleeps five people across two bedrooms and is the perfect base for families or groups of friends who are yearning for a traditional break in the heart of the County Mayo countryside.

Step inside this welcoming thatched cottage and you’ll be greeted by a traditional open-plan living area that has maintained its lovely, original exposed beams. Relax by the wood burner in the living area before heading to the country-style kitchen to whip up some dinner for your loved ones. Gather everyone to eat at the dining table – there's room for everyone. After dinner, head back to the living area and pour a glass of wine to enjoy while you read your favourite book or watch TV. At the end of the day, there are two lovely bedrooms waiting for you – one double (accessible from one side of the bed only) and one triple (triple has one double bed and one single bed).

Outside, you’ll find a fully enclosed garden with a patio area and a picnic bench where you can dine alfresco while taking in the uninterrupted views of the mountains.

The cottage is in a stunning rural location, perfect for a peaceful getaway. Be aware that it is a rustic 200 year old cottage, not a modern property. That said, you have everything you need for a quiet relaxing holiday including good WiFi connection. There is no pub or shop in the village so the nearest facilities are in beautiful Westport, about Read more8 miles away. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. In all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hide

This is an attractive cottage in a lovely area. Be aware that it is not luxurious, and that the second bedroom is very cramped, with only hooks on the wall for hanging clothes; the living area is really best suited to a couple only. The equipment is adequate, but there is not much storage space. It is quite remote - in practice, the nearest shop isRead more a garage general store about 6 miles away - but, as long as that is recognised, it is part of the charm. And Mayo has so much to enjoy.

the cottage was warm and cosy, with a log burner, if needed, and our hosts were really welcoming.
