Great location!

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The location was perfect for our time in Mayo. The house was clean and spacious and the sunsets over Clew Bay were just beautiful! We had a issue with hot water on our first morning and the property manager was easy to contact and the issue resolved. We did find it a challenge for our family not having internet or a telephone at the property.

Slice of paradise

This will be our fourth visit to this little slice of paradise. The views are to die for , the sunrise and sunsets are spectacular, like watching a canvas being painted. The house is inviting, comfortable, peaceful and relaxing. Everything you need and more is within its walls. It’s close to Westport and surrounding area s for you to explore but then again it’s far away from any hustle and bustle if you want to just “ find yourself”. We are always sad to leave but we know we will always return because it’s worked it’s charm on us and is in our blood forever now!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Davis

Why they chose this property

This house was built at this location to take advantage of the gorgeous view over Clew Bay from the Kilsallagh property, Centrally located between Westport and Louisburg on R335 overlooking the picturesque Clew Bay in the shadow of Croagh Patrick. A spacious house with all the amenities of home.

What makes this property unique

We'll defer to the English novelist, William Makepeace Thackeray who visited Westport in 1842, and wrote of the area, 'The most beautiful view I ever saw in the World. It forms an event in one's life to have seen that place so beautiful and so unlike other beauties that I know of. Were such beauties lying on English shores it would be a World's wonder perhaps, if it were on the Mediterranean or Baltic, English travellers would flock to it by hundreds. Why not come and see it in Ireland!'

Add to this that Westport is County Mayo's premier tourist destination, and considered one of the liveliest and most charming towns in the West of Ireland, and the visitor can be assured of the best in scenery, food, entertainment, attractions, craic and fond memories.
