About this property

The cottage is a detached property situated in a large (3000m²) garden which is surrounded by large trees and bushes. It is one kilometre from the sea and offers inspiring views of Croagh Patrick, the holy mountain of the Irish.

This peaceful location will most definitely appeal. The four bedroom (120m²) cottage is ideal for up to four adults and two children.

Do you want to escape from the pressures of everyday-life into quiet untouched landscape? Then a holiday on the west coast of Ireland is exactly what you need. And with the garden there is plenty of space for a family to have fun. We discovered this paradise a long time ago and since then it has become home from home.

The cottage offers:
• two bedrooms with double beds.
• two children’s rooms with single beds.
• living room with open fire and patio doors onto the garden.
• large homely kitchen with cooker, fridge, dish washer, coffee machine and
toaster.
• bathroom with shower and toilet.
• guest WC.
• utility room with washing machine.
• terrace with garden furniture hidden from the road.
• WLAN.
• colour TV with satellite dish (Capable of receiving European television programmes).
• central heating.

From the cottage it is only one kilometre to the sea. Westport and Newport, which both offer opportunities to explore and shop, are six kilometres away.
The cottage contains Linen and hand towels, and there are many books and games to play. We want you to enjoy the cottage and its location to the full so that when you go home you take with you great memories and want to come back.

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.

A couple from the Netherlands

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".

Gemütliches Ferienhaus

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Das Haus ist gemütlich eingerichtet und hat einen großen Garten. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Vieles, wie z. B. Essig, Öl, Tee, Salz, Zucker ist vorhanden und muss nicht extra gekauft werden. Bei der Ankunft erwarteten uns außerdem zwei Flaschen Wasser und eine Flasche Wein.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Kiehl

It was no accident that led us to take our first trip twelve years ago in this wonderful, changeable region of Ireland. The spectacular scenery stretches from high rugged mountains and steep cliffs, with breathtaking sea views, over sandy beaches, to the untouched stretches of moor land. The small quaint harbour town of Westport, with its restaurants and typical public houses, will charm you from your first visit. It is populated with friendly Irish folk who have a taste for a Mediterranean way of life.

Why they chose this property

Do you want to escape from the pressures of everyday-life into quiet untouched landscape? Then a holiday on the west coast of Ireland is exactly what you need. And with a garden with more than 3000m² of land there is plenty of space for a family to have fun. We discovered this paradise a long time ago and since then it has become home from home.

If you would like to holiday in Ireland, then we offer you our second home as an ideal destination and we look forward to hearing from you.
