There was nothing to dislike however people coming here need to be prepared for how isolated it is and make sure they bring food and supplies with them.

Accommodation was spotless. Lovely and cosy, charming cottage with modern facilities in beautiful surroundings. Deborah the host had left wine, cereal and coffee pods which was a lovely touch. She also had the beautiful solid fuel turf stove lit for us which was lovely.

Exactly what you want from a place like this. Extremely helpful and friendly owners. Beautiful location - calm, quiet, beautiful scenery away from tourists and close to a fanatical little pub. Fully equipped cottage with everything you could need. Spotlessly clean and has a large enclosed garden.

Beautiful cottage in rural mayo, lovely stove with free turf supplied, wine on table, bread and loads of other things from owner, beds so comfy and the peace and quiet so nice, we also found the water here is just worth bottling it's beautiful, and best of all a nice wee pub just 5 mins walk, so friendly local people, the beaches and mountains are just so scenic, close to belmullet with lovely food pubs and shops, it is areal break from big city, I would like to thank the owner and caretaker!!

Anything can always be better but we really cannot think of a specific thing we did not like. The setting is quite remote but if you want to get away and chill then this is the right place. We chose not to bring much food as we planned to find restaurants and these were available in Belmullet. If you want a quick meal out, you are out of luck out of season and probably all year long on Mondays and Tuesdays. We knew Belmullet was half an hour away and so we had snacks and light food for breakfast. The kitchen is a sociable setting, in the diner/lounge and is well stocked with everything needed to prepare a feast so if you are self-catering you will be very happy as long as you do your shopping in Balina or Belmullet on your way in. We were so happy we wanted to stay an extra day but we were disappointed as someone had beat us to the punch.

We thought the property was very nice and was fresh and clean. The owner put a fire on for our arrival. There was coffee, shower gel, and clean linen on every bed including towels. The property was well maintained and provided outdoor seating and an enclosed garden/driveway so our two dogs could roam the grounds as they liked. Both my wife and I have balance issues and so suggest a grab bar or two in the shower as well as a shower seat or chair that can be used when needed.

The sea can be seen from the property but you don’t have one from inside the house, this is not a negative as the area certainly makes up for this.

If you need time away from the day to day grind this is the place for you, it’s remote, quiet and quaint, just what we wanted. A few minutes drive to the stunning Portacloy Beach.

The accommodation is in a quiet location. It is a whole house which is well equipped for a longer stay. The wood burning stove is great and heats the whole house. It is a good base for exploring the surrounding coastline with its cliffs

Armchairs and couch were quite cramped and small. TV service was quite poor- channels kept blurring.

Beautiful location, nice comfortable house. Locals were very friendly. Dinny’s Ferrybar was close by, with very friendly staff as were all locals who were in the bar.

The house was excellent. Lovely location (well off the beaten track but walking distance to the pub!). Lovely fresh eggs and other bits and pieces in the fridge and plenty of fuel for the fire. Deborah even posted me some medicine I left behind.

Very nice location, cosy house with everything that is needed for a comfortable stay. A cosy fire heated the living, kitchen area and was heated using Peat, oil central heating and very comfortable electric blankets.

Beautiful little cottage with it's own enclosed garden 🏡. Well equipped with everything you might need for a stay. Appreciated arriving to a lit fire, heated beds and Christmas lights twinkling. Nicely decorated for Christmas stays.. Lovely touch to have free range farm fresh eggs, fuel for the fire place ready to go and information on some of the local tourists spots. And most importantly it's pet friendly 🙌🙌 Will definitely be back again.
