Teach MacEil (Mc Hales house) so named after the family that lived there for the last three centuries is a wonderfully restored, 18th-Century, thatched cottage set on a working farm only a stone's throw from Castlebar Town and Castlebar's very own, 18-hole golf course. Drift back in time to bygone days with its open fireplace, flagged floors, latched locked doors, and Cailleach (a traditional, curtained-off bed in the main living area). With great sensitivity, the owners have managed to blend old with new and provide a holiday haven with the modern comforts you would expect. In addition, there is also a snooker/pool room.
Situated one mile from Castlebar Town which has an excellent array of pubs and restaurants, some with traditional Irish music. Castlebar is host to both a blues and walking festival in early June and July. There is also wonderful opportunities for freshwater angling.
