About this property
Knockmore 2 miles. Lakeview Lodge is a charming retreat situated in the serene, rural location of Tavanaghmore, County Mayo. Boasting an elevated position with breathtaking views of the countryside and mountains including the Nephin Mountain, and close proximity to the picture-postcard Lough Conn, this lodge offers a large front garden with a stream, off-road parking for four cars, and welcomes one well-behaved dog. Stepping over the threshold, the sitting room invites you to unwind, offering a relaxing sofa, two armchairs, and a feature fireplace for added charm. Entertainment is provided in the form of a TV, DVD player, and a selection of DVDs and books. Patio doors lead out to a raised patio area, where you can soak up the last of the sun on the loungers or enjoy a meal at the table and chairs, all while taking in the exceptional views. Venturing further outside, the large enclosed garden is a haven for relaxation, boasting a lush lawn and beautiful foliage. The countryside and mountain views are truly breathtaking, with a stream running down the bottom of the garden adding to the calmness. Head to the well-equipped kitchen, where you can prepare your favourite dishes to enjoy at the dining table for relaxed meals, or perhaps in the conservatory where you can dine with a view, surrounded by mountain vistas, an idyllic backdrop for lively dinner party conversations. A cloakroom with a basin and WC adds further convenience to your stay. When night time rolls around, choose between three inviting bedrooms, two doubles and a twin, all featuring ample storage for your holiday attire and a travel cot for the little one. Freshen up in the bathroom, equipped with a bath, hand-held shower, basin, and WC, where you can opt for a soothing soak before heading out to explore the day's adventures. Venture out from Lakeview Lodge's inviting confines and you'll find a wealth of experiences waiting with plenty of opportunities for walking and hiking. Also plenty of opportunities for golf enthusiasts. Begin your journey with a visit to the National Museum of Ireland - Country Life and step back in time to discover Ireland's rich and vibrant cultural past. Once satiated with historical knowledge, a trip to the bustling town of Foxford is a must, renowned for Foxford Woollen Mill and delightful eateries. Immerse yourself in religious history with a visit to the St. Muredach's Cathedral, an architectural marvel, before learning about the local connections to the doomed Titanic voyage at Addergoole Titanic Society. Engage in political history by visiting the Michael Davitt Museum, followed by North Mayo Heritage Centre with its dedication to preserving the culture and tradition of Irish life. Lastly, gaze in awe at the storied heights of the ninth-century monastic relic, the Turlough Round Tower. Return home to Lakeview Lodge to watch the sunset as another unforgettable day in County Mayo concludes.
