Bear House Ardbear

EileenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We are 4 friends who stayed over Easter and loved every minute of it. Bear House was spotless, spacious & ideal for us having everything we needed for our stay. This trip we didn’t do much cooking but if we had wanted to, everything was there that would be needed. Lynn left us some supplies & treats which we really appreciated. The house is a convenient ten min walk into Clifden which we did 2 nights for dinner - lots of choice of eateries in Clifden. Mitchell’s is always a fave. We picked up takeaway from Ravis one night to eat at home. And this was the perfect base to explore the area - Killary Fjord boat trip, Killary sheep farm, Kylemore Abbey, Doolough, Renvyle - so much to see & do. And of course Clifden itself. Lynn left us plenty of instructions, had the heating on for us so the house was cosy & welcoming on a cold rainy evening. The communication was great, easy to find and access the house. I’ve no hesitation in recommending Bear House highly to anyone visiting Clifden.

Sinead's house is very nice, well equipped, quiet area. A great step. Sinead is attentive, gives addresses and is good advice. She was available because we had trouble finding the place. The address is incomplete and difficult to locate. She came to meet us. We recommend this place.

Mullagh Pond House, free boat tour, beaches

OrlaithRating, 5 stars8 months ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at James house - it was clean, comfortable and very cosy! The beds were very comfortable and kitchen perfect for cooking and living in. There was a fire on in the stove when we arrived and made the house so welcoming and cosy. It is in beautiful surroundings with lots of walks and Westport only 15 mins away and plenty of restaurants etc in Murrisk only 5 mins away - great base for exploring Mayo and climbing croagh Patrick and as a family of 5 and 2 dogs it was just perfect! We also went in the free Killary harbour cruise that was offered and it was fantastic - highly recommend! James was very friendly and on hand if needed - we would definitely visit again!

Renovated Original Irish Cottage

StephenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a little trouble locating the property but Patrick's wife, Michelle, came to find us so that we could follow her there. She was very kind and welcoming and even escorted us in to town and recommended some restaurants to us. It is a beautiful place to stay, clean and well equipped, with stunning views of the Irish countryside and excellent hosts. Would highly recommend.

Relaxing Private Country Escape with Hot Tub

SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Fabulous location and beautiful house. Claire was really responsive and helpful with any queries during our stay. Just a note to stock up on groceries before you arrive as it’s a trek to the nearest shop. But so tranquil- Easter bunny came to visit while we were there which was a great treat for the kids!

3 bedroom mountain view home 5km outside Ballina

JustinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our family of four and one Cavapoo stayed at Lisa’s place for 2 nights. We had a great stay in a relaxing setting. Lisa was incredibly responsive and helpful. The house was lovely and clean, and really did feel like a home from home from the off. The location was nice and private and a short distance from Ballina town and the beaches at Killala or Enniscrone. I would highly recommend this house if you are looking to stay close to Ballina.

Your guide to Westport

All About Westport

Under the shadow of Ireland’s most sacred mountain — Croagh Patrick — the city of Westport boasts immaculate, tree-lined streets and old stone bridges decorated with blooming flowers that run over the Carrowbeg River. Ninety minutes from Galway on the County Mayo coast, it is a designated heritage town full of important sites and spectacular Georgian architecture, including the impressive Westport House and Gardens, Rockfleet Castle, and Burrishoole Abbey. Westport is also spoiled with beautiful beaches that are just 10 minutes from town. By the foot of Croagh Patrick, you’ll find Bertra, one of Ireland’s best beaches for birdwatching, as well as kitesurfing and windsurfing. Thirty minutes away is Carrowniskey, a popular surfing beach with a surf school that offers lessons and boards and wetsuits to rent.

The town of Westport is full of colorful shop fronts, traditional pubs, and seafood restaurants that serve local mussels and classics like fish and chips. There’s also a handful of art galleries to explore, luxury spas to pamper yourself, and one of Ireland’s finest championship golf courses.

County Mayo experiences fickle weather year round, but extremes in temperatures are rare. Summer is a great time to book an accommodation in Westport, when you can expect mostly long warm days with daylight often lasting till 11:00 p.m. in June and July. In spring, the days are mostly mild with wildflowers blooming in the surrounding countryside. Fall also sees mostly mild weather with the chance of rain, but it’s a great time for events in town.

In October, the town hosts the Westport Art Festival, which showcases the work of local and international artists, writers, and musicians. In winter, expect colder temperatures and more rain, but this part of Ireland normally enjoys milder winters than most.
