Could have been so much more
Unfortunately this property was a miss for us. Pictures must be at least 10 + years old. Should be titled peak-a-boo view of Croagh Patrick. Landscaping is so overgrown the beautiful hillsides of Kilmeena are hidden. It states waterfront, seaview of which it is neither. House is in need of a serious deep clean, cobwebs, dead bugs in every room, hot water tank not on upon arrival and heat was very low so house was cold upon entering. No hot water at all in half bath, host stated it went out a few weeks prior but no one bothered to inform me of this. Made one bathroom for 5 adults interesting. Upstairs shows in photos as single bedrooms loft area however it is just unfinished atic space. Kitchen was well appointed with plenty of pots, pans & dishes. Garbage instructions a little unclear and a bag of glass bottles remained from previous renters. The location was quiet and within a short drive to Westport. We wanted to enjoying the beautiful scenery of Kilmeena but unfortunately there wasn't much to be seen, definitely not what was depicted. This home could be so much more with some attention to details inside and out. Once the heat was on and hot water figured out it was quiet and comfortable so we stayed the week. I do think the cleaning fee should be refunded however. I dont know who sets the standards for VRBO but between not being informed of plumbing issues with the half bath and housekeeping issues I found this to be in unacceptable condition for a rental.

We had an enjoyable stay in the cottage. There is a lot of useful information material, but some information was outdated (WiFi password, name and number of the local manager, number of the proprietor). This made it difficult to contact manager or proprietor when we encountered a problem. Once contact was established, the problem was resolved smoothly. There is a nice 8 km walk starting from the cottage, the finest part of which is a stretch of coastline that is only accessible at low tide. Other interesting walks are quite a distance away. Whenever we visited the town of Westport, it was raining. Westport could be nice, but unfortunately it is spoiled by heavy and chaotic traffic. Westport House was the biggest deception of our vacation until now. The house is in a bad state, and all interesting features (e.g. the gardens) were closed to the public. We visited Croagh Patrick, but instead of climbing to the top, we took the pleasant Murrisk loop, including a visit to the impressive National Famine Memorial. We strongly advise to take the loop with the clock, thus not ascending together with the many "pilgrims" of Croagh Patrick. In view of the nice views, it's a pity that the Murrisk loop is quite short. The two highlights of our stay at the cottage were visits to the Lost Valley (very impressive!!) and the most Western edge of Achill island (Keem Bay) with its many opportunities for "hikes with a view".

Relax, restore and reflect
Great experience from the booking experience through the entire stay. The cottage was my Irish home for almost 2 months. Very comfortable, had the space and accommodations needed for an extended stay. Michael (owner) and Bernie (local caretaker) we’re very responsive and we’re available for questions and any needs. Loved my neighbors, the cows next door! Very quiet lane but only 5 miles from Westport activities. Westport is lovely town and good places for walking, sightseeing, restaurants. The cottage was also great as a home base to explore Counties Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo.

Nice cottage but not very clean.
Disappointed, as cottage needed a proper clean: kitchen and bathroom floors not very clean, kitchen window swamming with flies on entry and dead flies under beds and on window sills, upstairs bedrooms covered in cobwebs and dusty. One toilet slightly leaking, shower tray not draining. The upstairs bedrooms with roof windows did not have any curtains so unable to cut out the sunlight. Half the lamps and ceiling lights did not work. Cottage had a good big garden and good location but just let down by the lack of maintenance and poor cleaning.

We are very, very sorry about that! We were unfortunately unable to go to our cottage ourselves for a while due to the Corona situation. We are currently on our way to Westport and will make sure that everything is as it should be!

Lovely cottage, would stay again!
We had a wonderful 5 days in this darling and quaint cottage. It was perfect for my family of two adults and two children under 10 years old. The house was clean and the kitchen was well appointed. The other modern amenities such as wifi and a smart TV were nice additions without losing the charm of an older cottage. The yard and garden area was perfect for our children to run and play. The location was a good central place for visiting neighboring towns and it was an easy walk to the pier. The owners were easy to communicate with and we had everything we needed. We would stay here again. Thank you!

Secluded getaway on the doorstep of plenty
Really happy with the rental. Cottage was as described. Really warm heating as temperatures were frosty at night outside. So quiet yet only 10 mins from Westport. I'd recommend exploring the islands north west of Westport. Some can be accessed by causeways. Kids loved it and back garden had plenty space to play ball. We'd rent this again. Spacious yet cosy.

Great family adventure
Lovely farmhouse only 2km from greenway which we used regularly. The house was clean and comfortable with oodles of charm. Family of 5 had a great stay there. Plenty of outhouses for storing bikes etc. Good internet service and kitchen was functional. The garden at rear is massive with plenty of room for children to play football. View of St Patrick was nice. Minor suggestions for future: - No microwave which if you had very young children you may need. We managed fine without it. - While our room had blinds and we slept well, one of the 2 attic rooms had no curtains which during the summer meant the child woke up early. In all other respects we had a great stay there and would love to stay there again. In 1 week, we manged 3 days cycling , St Patrick and 2 days driving to see remote May North and South. Great times, great memories . Thanks to hosts for a lovely stay Paul Wynne

Westport Cottage, perfect for all the family
Fantastic cottage which was immaculately presented. Has absolutely all the ingredients for a perfect family break. Lots and lots of space and bags of character. Great location and the perfect base for all the family to discover Westport, the Greenway, Wild Atlantic Way and Croagh Patrick. Stunning backdrop and views.

Maison agréable et tranquille dans un site magnifique
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour. La maison est confortable et très propre, située en pleine nature à 10 mn en voiture environ de Westport. Nombreuses possibilités d'excursions à la journée notamment vers Achill Island et piste cyclable Green Way de 42 km (Westport Achill Island). Pas de réseau ni d'internet mais TV et lecteur dvd. Nombreux matériel de cuisine. Belle vue et magnifique balade à pied au départ de la maison, merci à Michael pour les plans transmis !

Beautiful country life
This lovely cottage is on a quiet country road with a huge back garden for the kids to play in, with views of Croagh Patrick. We sat out there in the evenings, weather permitting, breathing the fresh air. The kitchen is full-sized and well-equipped. There is central heating available for a small fee depending on usage. The only thing lacking is wi-fi. Also the sitting room is a bit small for a large family.

Ein wundervoller Rückzugsort, dessen Umgebung zu schönen Ausflügen verführt
Wir haben in diesem Haus sehr schöne Stunden verbracht. Eine gute Mischung von skandinavischem Stil mit irischen Elementen wurde durch zahlreiche Naturkollagen unterstützt. Sehr angenehm ist, dass die verschiedenen Schlafräume weitere Sitzgelegenheiten haben. Abends setzten wir uns gerne in den eingefriedeten Garten und genossen den Duft von blühenden Bäumen und Sträuchern. Die Familie stellt eine ganze Bücherwand mit unterschiedlichen Romanen und einige Spiele zur Verfügung, damit ein gelegentlicher Regentag (wir hatten im Mai keinen) überbrückt werden kann. Sowohl der nördliche Teil Mayos (Kliffküste, keltische Kultur) und Achill Island wie auch die Berge und zahlreichen Strände Connemaras sind auf abwechslungsreichen Straßen gut erreichbar. Wir sind viel gewandert, aber weitere Freizeitangebote werden angeboten. Im Haus liegen dazu viele Prospekte, Karten, Reiseführer, die Anregungen geben. Durch die Nähe von Westport stehen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Abendprogramm zur Verfügung. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Das Haus und der wunderschöne Garten haben uns sehr gefallen. Das Haus liegt sehr gut um viele Unternehmungen in der Umgebung zu machen. Leider war das Haus insbesondere die Küche nicht sauber bzw. Spinnweben, tote Fliegen und staubiges Geschirr. Mussten ein bisschen Hand anlegen dann war es in Ordnung.

Cottage fonctionnel, très bien placé dans une région magnifique.
Nous avons trouvé un cottage très propre et Debbie, la dame qui gère les clefs, est vraiment très disponible. La maison est dans un endroit très calme et proche d'endroits vraiment magnifiques (Achill island, partry mountain...). En revanche, il n'y a pas de réseau tel, pas d'internet, pas de micro-onde et si vous venez l'hiver la maison est très dure à chauffer (le chauffage est en sus et le bois aussi...) Bref, idéal pour 5 ou 6 personnes, dépaysement assuré.

Absolut empfehlenswert!
Das Cottage ist ein toller Ausgangspunkt für die wunderbare Umgebung. Wir waren leider nur 5 Tage und so sind noch viele Ausflugsziel (für den nächsten Besuch) offen geblieben. Das alte Cottage ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet, sauber und mit allem ausgestattet. Vor allem die Essensbasics wie Gewürze, Essig, Öl usw. sind vorhanden, so dass man nicht alles neu kaufen bzw. auch Gekauftes nicht wegwerfen muss. Es hat an nichts gefehlt (außer Müslischalen 😉) Alles in allem eine absolut empfehlenswerte Unterkunft! Wir kommen gerne wieder.
