Everything there that one would need. Plenty of forest walks close by to suit all levels of walker with great beaches slightly further away. Gillian could not have been more helpful. Would thoroughly recommend.

Very comfortable bed. Generally clean but a bit on the dusty side. Long grass in front hiding some tall stinging nettles, could have done with a good trim

Rural and well equipped. Some very friendly horses as neighbors. A convenient location to see the beauty of Mayo. The beds were so comfy! A breakfast was left which was much appreciated. Thank you very much.
