Cette maison de vacances Ă l'atmosphĂšre familiale Ă Newport se trouve au bord de l'eau, Ă 10 minutes Ă pied de sites comme Clew Bay et ChĂąteau de Rockfleet. Great Western Greenway est Ă 4 km de distance.
The house is just so well located and fully equipped that you can forgive, even forget, the few minor negative points. Situated on a no-through road, waterfront plot, overlooking the Clew bay and 200 metres from an important historical landmark (though it would appear to be low on the average travellers visit list).
Ivor (and Mary) were both kind, helpful and accommodating.
The local towns Newport and Westport are easily accessible and have most things you will need. And the Wild Atlantic Way tourist project takes you to stupendous places and sights.
Matt Malloyâs pub in Westport is a must for the music and how can you refuse such a good pint of Guinness.
Weâll be back.
The setting and location can not be beaten, The facillities were also very good. Theres plenty of space and you'll find everything you could want, including two comfortable and spacious lounges both with smart TV's including Netflix, Apple etc. There is a downside in that the whole property is looking a bit tired and is in need of some TLC. Also it really needs a deep clean and dusting. With a bit of time and money spent, this could easily be an outstanding 5 star holiday let.
The property provided us with everything we needed. While there may have been small things that would have improved our stay further we were perfectly comfortable and the location was wonderful, whatever the weather. It was also well situated to explore every corner of Co Mayo, everything being within an hour or so drive
Wonderful location. Serene sea views at the front, a field of gambolling lambs at the back ( probably not available all year round ) What more could you want. A spacious and comfortable place to stay. A mentally renewing experience. Thank you.
Ivorâs place is great. Pictures donât do it justiceâŠ
Just stayed at Ivorâs house on the shores of Clew Bay and it was brilliant. The photos in the listing donât really do it justice as the space available to you is huge. All the facilities are spot-on. There were a few goodies for us in the fridge when we arrived and they even put up a Xmas tree as we were there for Xmas. Communication was great. The surrounding area is beautiful. Lots of history and lots of places to go walking, lots of history. Highly recommended.Suits familyâs, and those with kids too⊠Thanks Ivor.
I big house with plenty of space.
Everything there which is needed.
Within a shourt time we feel like at home.
Beautiful view from front (sea) and bach ( green gras and sheeps). We recommend the the house very much. Owner and housekeeper are very friendly. Cantact per E-mail ! Check in with key-box without problems and perfect description of the way to the house. A few things have to be renovated or replaced, but that doesnt matter for us. Nice fireplace ! Washing machine, dryer and dishwasher in the house. Comfortable beds ! Very nice wintergarden with seaview, thanks Ivor
Ivoryâs house is a perfect peaceful hideaway with fantastic views! The property is fenced all the way around except for the driveway which has a cattle grate making it a very safe place for my dog to run free without worry. From beautiful tidal walks to enjoying sitting in the warm sunporch, we had a lovely stay! Hoping to come again. Highly recommend.
We stayed for 4 weeks this summer, though the Irish weather was against us! The house has everything you need, amazing views, comfort, space. An excellent place to explore Mayo. We have stayed before and couldn't wait to get back
This was my second time staying at this property. It was amazing as ever. Lots of upgrades to the place . Close to everything. Ivor is a great host. I fully recommend this beautiful place
The property is large and was ideally arranged for us. Coming in from the beach or a walk into a utility area so the wet kayaking gear could be removed and hung up. We were able to put the dog crate in the next room, plenty of space so she went straight in from outside.
We took a ramp for the one step at the back so my wheelchair got in. There are however 2 steps from the lounge up to the bedrooms, so not fully wheelchair accessible. I was able to cope with the 2 steps
Both lounges have comfortable reclining sofas. Excellent having 2 lounges if you are a larger group.
The kitchen was very well stocked, and brilliant supply of food, cooking bits and pieces. One of the best i have been to.
The master bedroom has a superb view and for me to be able to rest or stay in bed and see the bay was fantastic.
All the bedrooms looked good, though we only used one.
Like any property this size it is possible to find an area that is ready for some tlc, but overall a well maintained property, large gardens right on the shoreline, superb views all ways round a fantastic place to stay.
Highly recommend for everyone but especially if you want to use the bay for boating of any description. Lovely rock pools full of life and access to the sea all day. There is not a sandy beach but plenty of access points to the water.
I loved kayaking round to the castle and around the bay.
Not a huge amount of wildlife, but we did see herons and egrets one week was too short
We stayed for 2 weeks last year and 3 weeks this time. We have already asked for 4 weeks next year! Neither fashionable nor modern (the refrigerator is vintage 1970), it is the quiet respite we love and the location for daily drives and coffee looking out at Clew Bay. The housekeeper has made a huge difference in its upkeep, treated us as âher wee Americansâ and gave us fabulous ideas for things to do, including Clew Bay Charters. We will count the days until we return.
Our family of 5 stayed for a little over a week over the Christmas holiday. When we arrived there was a lovely welcome package awaiting us, all necessities were laid out and the home was cozy and warm. It was a wonderful way to start our stay in a gorgeous corner of Ireland.
The beds were comfortable, the kitchen equipped with everything one could need, including non-perishables in abundance, and if the weather had been more clement, we would have taken advantage of the outdoor patio and large yards. With two living rooms and plenty of comfortable seating, everyone had space to read or relax after hikes in the region.
We would definitely stay here again as it is a great launching spot for walks in both South and North Mayo and the cities of Newport and Westport are both well-worth visiting.
