About this property

Bangor Erris 3.2 miles. Situated on the Shores of Carrowmore Lake, Saoirse, a fabulous, five-bedroom home, located in Gortmore near Bangor Erris, County Mayo, offers breathtaking lake views. Resting rurally, offering a tranquil base for guests, the aptly-named Saoirse, which means "freedom" in Gaelic, features a lofty private driveway, an enclosed garden, enjoying elevated, uninterrupted vistas, and flexible sleeping arrangements, making it a tranquil, stunning setting for a family of nine to enjoy. Park up on the driveway, taking in your scenic surroundings, before stepping indoors to unwind in the homely sitting room, complete with plush seating and a crackling open fire. Continue into the kitchen/diner where you can prepare and enjoy mealtimes as a family, or if the weather allows, be sure to set one of the patio tables, with the stunning lake as your backdrop. As the sun sets, select between five well-appointed bedrooms, with two doubles and a twin resting on the ground floor, serviced by a shower room. Climb the stairs to locate two further bedrooms, a further double, and a twin, also with a neighbouring shower room for convenience. Awaken to a coffee in the suntrap conservatory, before heading into Bangor Erris for your nearest amenities, or if you'd prefer to stay at home, take in the picturesque, lakeside views, also offering keen anglers the chance to fish. Saoirse is ideally located along the Wild Atlantic Way and is perfectly situated to explore what North Mayo has to offer, being an ideal base to explore the magnificent scenery and landscapes of the Erris Peninsula, the Blacksod Lighthouse, and Ballina, the ancestral home of Joe Biden! Embark on a sea safari to visit the islands off the Erris Coast, where the Belmullet Tidal Pool and Knock Shrine can be found. For further viewpoints, head to the Mullet Peninsula or the Céide Fields archaeological site, offering views across the Mayo coastline, whilst Downpatrick Head delivers dramatic, clifftop vistas across the county. Enjoy a day trip to Nephin National Park, offering the perfect landscape for nature-filled mountain walks, cycling, hikes, or head to Achill Island where you can try your hand at surfing or an afternoon of watersports at the world-famous Keem Bay, before heading to the Ceide Fields to witness a 5000 year old archaeological site first hand. Enjoy a retreat in County Mayo at Saoirse.

The small town of Bangor Erris is ideally situated for anglers resting besides the River Owenmore and is close to Carrowmore Lake. Salmon and sea trout can be found at Carrowmore Lake, making it a popular spot for fly-fishing. The Bangor Trail, a hiking path that passes through the Nephin Beg Mountain range, is located to the south of the town, which is conveniently located on the main road connecting Ballina and Belmullet, providing access to the entirety of County Mayo. After a long day of seeing the area, the town offers three pubs that are sure to greet you with open arms and some Irish hospitality.
