Lovely Accomodations
What a lovely cottage, and it is very close to Westport and attractions in Mayo county. We had a wonderful stay. There is a nice pub down the lane across from Ballintober Abbey.

Beautiful property
We based ourselves at the cottage as we were attending an event in Westport. It was a lovely location and we had a nice meal in a nearby restaurant.
The host was lovely and the cottage was very clean and comfortable.
Unfortunately the dogs barked all night the first night but they were quiet the second night.
