A great rural Irish experience
It’s a beautiful, quiet property, centrally located in Mayo County, making for easy day trips to different parts of the county. For a couple of city dwellers it was a thrill eating breakfast while watching through the window as cows grazed thirty feet away. Caroline is a wonderful and gracious host.

Joy for the Soul!
A lost passport and a canceled leg of our trip had us very frazzled. We had to find a last minute open place to stay and we needed some solace...cue Newbrook House! The minute we came down the driveway and saw this charming place, our stress began to ebb....cows lowing in the fields, a Connemara horse galloping along the stone wall, 3 welcoming cats....what a start....then we entered this charming and pristinely clean cottage and were welcomed with a warm fire going in the wood stove and it felt like heaven had descended. Just fabulous! Caroline popped in to say hello and she was just about as cool as you can get. She not only was a wealth of information regarding the area but also very soothing in her approach to our dilemma with the lost passport (she is a very regular world traveler). She even made calls on our behalf to 'get the ball rolling' as we dealt with the American embassy, the airlines, courier services, etc. Thank you Caroline!! This section of Ireland is stunningly gorgeous and it was clutch to have an insider's perspective and recommendations for things to do that were outside the circle of the tourist realm. The first evening of our arrival I took a wonderful hot bath in the clawfoot tub. This is something I have NEVER done in any place but my own home but everything was so immaculate that I felt 100% comfortable luxuriating and allowing all my troubles to drain away. It set the tone for the next 5 wonderful days. I didn't want to leave. Cheers!!

A charming getaway
Our stay was amazing. Our kids asked for an Irish farmhouse experience and this cottage delivered. We cooked, played games, fed animals and explored the area. The host was super accommodating and so knowledgeable about the area and gave us great recommendations. Even though it was July, the weather was rainy and chilly, so the warm fire was cozy and the well water was a nice surprise. We definitely want to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Caroline

Host profile image
I have been an international lawyer for over 30 years, living and traveling all over the world. Life changed quite unexpectedly, when during a trip home to Co. Mayo last year, I stumbled across a 17th C granary for sale. Without hesitation and in that second I fell in love with the property and woke up in the granary a fortnight later as the new proud owner with my legal career a thing of the past! I am at a loss for words to accurately describe the beauty, the history and the ambience of Newbrook House. I pinch myself every morning to ensure that this is not some beautiful amazing dream. It is a far cry from living in the bright lights and noise of Tokyo, Hong Kong, San Francisco and London. I have never looked back. The property was built in 1670 and is accessed through the original cobblestone lane which opens up to reveal a magnificent stone arch and the granary and stables beyond which are now Newbrook House. There is an acre of working gardens surrounded by a walled garden which in turn is surrounded by the walled garden of the original manor house, the seat of Lord Henry Bingham, which succumbed to fire in the mid-19th century. The West Wing has its own private entrance, mud room, bedroom, bathroom, sitting room with open fireplace and kitchen. Two hand carved antique four poster beds grace the large master bedroom. They are adorned with the finest linens from Foxford Woolen Mills and Hungarian goose down duvets and pillows. The orthopedic mattresses are steam cleaned with tea tree oil after each use. The bathroom boasts a lovely claw footed cast iron bathtub which is perfect for guests who would like to try a seaweed bath - with seaweed sourced from the local beaches. Newbrook House is my passion and my life and I love sharing it with guests and bringing to life its purpose in allowing visitors to experience luxury in the heart of nature.

Why they chose this property

The private self contained West Wing of Newbrook House is now accepting guests for short stays. Years of loving restoration have resulted in the most glorious home away from home, a complete respite from the rigours of daily life.

What makes this property unique

We have local honey, onions, potatoes and rhubarb amongst other delights on offer that cannot be reproduced anywhere else in the world. It is a taste, a moment in time. It cannot be repeated or exported but the memory remains forever. For those who simply want to relax, a stroll along the village lane is like something out of a story book. The most friendly and curious cows, pheasants galore and bushes replete with berries are all there to refresh the mind and restore the soul. For a bit more activity the list is endless: from hunting and fishing to golf, horse riding and beyond, it’s all here.
