We loved our stay at this property. The managers were friendly, accommodating and responsive to our questions. The cats and ponies were an extra bonus that made the trip. We used the kitchen quite a bit and had everything we needed. We did not use the washer because we didn’t have a dryer or way to hang clothes. DVDs were great. Beds were comfortable. Heated floors was nice. Great to have a tub and shower. Thanks again!

Great and relaxing stay

The cottage is really nice, not too far from Claremorris (groceries, pharmacy and more). We had a great stay with a really calm neighborhood! Beware of the cats, they ask for pets really often. Also, the cottage has many nice things to visit around: beaches, museum, castles... and Sean and Suzi have put together a binder with great recommendations.

Perfect

This location was ideal for us and our dogs as we needed to escape the madness of fireworks over Halloween and enjoy a quiet countryside break. The property was clean and well cared for and had all the facilities we needed. The owner was always on hand to deal with any issues and it was the icing on the cake to have the company of their cats and ponies

Best Cottage in Ireland!

Séan and Suzi have done a fantastic job at converting a piece of history into a present-day retreat home. They communicated with us before during and after our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. Excellent location and amenities and a genuine Irish holiday location! Thank you, Suzi and Séan!!!

We had a great week at the house. It is so peaceful and the lovely scenery, Sean was an excellent host who gave some good advice on places to go. My children loved feeding the ponies next to the house this really gave the week the x factor plus the 4 adorable cats.This is the best place we hae stayed.

Beautiful cottage and lovely owners

Unfortunately this was a work trip so I didn’t get to explore the beautiful countryside as much as I would have liked but the cottage was absolutely beautiful. Really well equipped and comfortable. The owners Seán & Suzi were warm and welcoming. Great place to come back to after a hard days work but I would love to bring the family back for a wee holiday sometime. First class.

It is a wonderful restored cottage with a complete and high-quality endowment. Many tasteful details make you feel comfortable. Sean was a very nice, uncomplicated and helpful host. If you like a quiet surrounding in the midst of the landscape, this will be the perfect place. We also liked the animals (four cats and two ponys) which live on the property.

A taste of real Ireland in Mayo. Peaceful location, characterful accommodation with really comfortable beds, rooms and living room. We both slept so well. It was fully stocked with everything, plus more, you could think of including games, cable tv, extensive kitchen equipment, high quality bedding and a delightful bath.

A wonderful holiday cottage with fantastic hosts!

After our experience at the last cottage, which was less than welcoming (guest instructions posted like confetti around whole house), cluttered, and unclean, we weren't sure what to expect.We weren’t disappointed! Seán allowed us to check in early and met us at their cottage to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for more!The cottage was spotlessly clean and had some basic supplies (tea, sugar, etc.). We took advantage of Suzi's cooking and generosity by ordering her soda bread and a cottage pie for two which would easily feed four and all for a very reasonable 25...thank you, Suzi We humans soon made friends with the resident cats, who thankfully were very dog savvy moggies, although our dogs were less entranced Would we recommend? Undoubtably!Would we come again? Absolutely!
