Great stay
We had a lovely time at the cottage. Beautiful area, great grounds. My kids loved the swing and the hammocks! Great location near so many areas in Mayo. Ann compiled a really interesting history about the cottage and the area. We had a great time. Thanks so much Ann and Pete.

Irish Farm House living at it;s best!
A wonderful private getaway that is only five minutes from town. We felt we were in old Ireland (Ireland is now modern) and really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Cottage in rural County Mayo
We loved the cottage! It was very difficult to find and we were lucky that a man in a pub in Balla was the next door neighbor and he gave us directions. A regular street address would have been best. We heard from other people at the local Spar that they often have people in the store looking for it. However, once we got there we enjoyed every moment.
