About this property

Spacious shore-side bungalow in an exclusive and historic location

This is a beautifully located bungalow situated on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. This spacious property consists of 3 double bedrooms, 2 large reception rooms, a kitchen, a modern fitted bathroom and an additional shower room. The master bedroom and front living room overlook the ocean and the rear of the property has open rural views stretching to the mountains and the nearby Rockfleet, or Carrickahowley, Castle. A few minutes’ walk along the sea front will take you to this 16th century castle, which was once the home of the Irish pirate queen, Grace O’Malley, or Granuaile. Also within easy walking distance along the sea front is Roigh Pier with a small harbour of local fishing boats. Fishing and sight-seeing trips can be arranged from here. The immediate area provides excellent walking opportunities, including the Furnace lakes, Shramore and Letterkeen forest and the Nephin mountain range. Both stylish and cosy, this bungalow is perfect for couples, families and groups.

Perfect location

The property provided us with everything we needed. While there may have been small things that would have improved our stay further we were perfectly comfortable and the location was wonderful, whatever the weather. It was also well situated to explore every corner of Co Mayo, everything being within an hour or so drive

Ivor’s place is great. Pictures don’t do it justice…

Just stayed at Ivor‘s house on the shores of Clew Bay and it was brilliant. The photos in the listing don’t really do it justice as the space available to you is huge. All the facilities are spot-on. There were a few goodies for us in the fridge when we arrived and they even put up a Xmas tree as we were there for Xmas. Communication was great. The surrounding area is beautiful. Lots of history and lots of places to go walking, lots of history. Highly recommended.Suits family’s, and those with kids too… Thanks Ivor.

Wonderful peaceful retreat

Ivory’s house is a perfect peaceful hideaway with fantastic views! The property is fenced all the way around except for the driveway which has a cattle grate making it a very safe place for my dog to run free without worry. From beautiful tidal walks to enjoying sitting in the warm sunporch, we had a lovely stay! Hoping to come again. Highly recommend.

It is spacious and has a great view and comfortable beds. But it is tired, dated and in need of a good spring clean. Never-the-less we enjoyed our trip once we got the new internet number and hot water arranged. Devins i good place to eat.

Loved it!

Our grandparents grew up in the area and it was really good to stay where they breathed the same aur right there on Clew Bay. We even heard that our ancestors once owned the property where the house is. We really enjoyed it and hope to be back soon.

Tranquil bayside stay in Mayo

Comfortable property in excellent scenic location on Clew Bay with convenient distances by car to nearby shopping dining attractions etc The effort that went into modernizing the main full bathroom can be put into the 2nd bathroom to make it more useful esp the showerhead. Kitchen is well equipped and can be even better with some cosmetic upgrades such as a new sink All in all a practical house for a tranquil stay

At Home in County Mayo

We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at the house near Newport in County Mayo. The house was very clean and well equipped. We could have easily stayed there on a long term basis. Contact with the owner and with the local manager was excellent. The location was beautiful on Clew Bay and there were numerous activities and walks in the local area, with the Wild Atlantic Way, Achill Island and Nephin National Park close by. The towns of Westport and Castlebar were a short drive away and had excellent shopping and dining options. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Spacious and cozy with a beautiful view

Our family of 5 stayed for a little over a week over the Christmas holiday. When we arrived there was a lovely welcome package awaiting us, all necessities were laid out and the home was cozy and warm. It was a wonderful way to start our stay in a gorgeous corner of Ireland. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen equipped with everything one could need, including non-perishables in abundance, and if the weather had been more clement, we would have taken advantage of the outdoor patio and large yards. With two living rooms and plenty of comfortable seating, everyone had space to read or relax after hikes in the region. We would definitely stay here again as it is a great launching spot for walks in both South and North Mayo and the cities of Newport and Westport are both well-worth visiting.

Nice property but with shortcomings

Fitst impression when entering was a musty smell. We also had issues with the front door lock. We had no hot tap water. The "caretaker" whilst "resetting" the hot water appeared non plus, couldnt wait to leave and didn't explain the procedure when a couple of days later we had no hot water again. Glasses needed washing before use as one of the cupboards smelt of Deep Heat: for some reason glass was kept in the same cupboard as medicines

Fabulous coastal stay

The property is large and was ideally arranged for us. Coming in from the beach or a walk into a utility area so the wet kayaking gear could be removed and hung up. We were able to put the dog crate in the next room, plenty of space so she went straight in from outside. We took a ramp for the one step at the back so my wheelchair got in. There are however 2 steps from the lounge up to the bedrooms, so not fully wheelchair accessible. I was able to cope with the 2 steps Both lounges have comfortable reclining sofas. Excellent having 2 lounges if you are a larger group. The kitchen was very well stocked, and brilliant supply of food, cooking bits and pieces. One of the best i have been to. The master bedroom has a superb view and for me to be able to rest or stay in bed and see the bay was fantastic. All the bedrooms looked good, though we only used one. Like any property this size it is possible to find an area that is ready for some tlc, but overall a well maintained property, large gardens right on the shoreline, superb views all ways round a fantastic place to stay. Highly recommend for everyone but especially if you want to use the bay for boating of any description. Lovely rock pools full of life and access to the sea all day. There is not a sandy beach but plenty of access points to the water. I loved kayaking round to the castle and around the bay. Not a huge amount of wildlife, but we did see herons and egrets one week was too short

As peaceful as you could wish

Wonderful location. Serene sea views at the front, a field of gambolling lambs at the back ( probably not available all year round ) What more could you want. A spacious and comfortable place to stay. A mentally renewing experience. Thank you.
