Clew Bay House • Beach & Island Views • Sleeps 9

Clew Bay House — Your Coastal Escape on the Wild Atlantic Way

Imagine opening the doors each morning to panoramic views across Clew Bay, with Achill Island and Clare Island stretching across the horizon—and Carrowmore Beach just a one-minute stroll away.

Welcome to Clew Bay House, a spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath coastal home in beautiful Carrowmore, County Mayo, sleeping up to 9 guests. Whether you're planning a family holiday, a getaway with friends, or a multi-generational trip to Ireland, our home provides the space, privacy and location to enjoy everything this spectacular corner of the Wild Atlantic Way has to offer.

The View Is Part of the Experience

One of the most special things about Clew Bay House is the view. From inside the house, the deck and the garden, you can look across the water toward the surrounding mountains and islands.

Start your morning with coffee overlooking the bay. Spend the afternoon exploring the beaches and coastline. Then return home in the evening to watch the changing light across Clew Bay.

The views aren't something you have to drive somewhere to see—they're part of your stay.

Just One Minute to Carrowmore Beach

Carrowmore Beach is approximately a one-minute walk from the house.

Take an early morning stroll along the shore, enjoy a day at the beach, watch the waves roll in, or simply walk down for a few minutes of fresh Atlantic air.

The combination of a comfortable home, private outdoor space and such easy access to the beach makes Clew Bay House especially well suited to families and groups who want to enjoy the coast without having to get in the car every time they want to see the sea.

Space for Everyone

With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and sleeping accommodation for up to 9 guests, there is room for everyone to enjoy the house comfortably.

The generous shared spaces make it easy to spend time together, while four bedrooms provide everyone with their own place to relax.

Prepare meals together in the well-equipped kitchen, gather around the dining table, enjoy the views from the deck, or settle in around the original Irish fireplace after a day of exploring.

The large enclosed garden provides additional outdoor space to enjoy the fresh Mayo air and spectacular surroundings.

Explore Louisburgh & West Mayo

Clew Bay House is ideally located for exploring the incredible scenery of West Mayo and Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.

Louisburgh is close by and offers shops, pubs, restaurants and the welcoming atmosphere of a traditional Irish village.

From the house, you can explore:

Carrowmore Beach — approximately a 1-minute walk
Louisburgh — an easy walk from the house
Roonagh Pier — gateway to Clare Island and the surrounding islands
Clare Island — explore the island's beaches, walks and spectacular scenery
Old Head Beach — beautiful sandy beach and coastal scenery
Croagh Patrick — one of Ireland's most iconic mountains
Westport — historic streets, restaurants, pubs, music and shopping
Achill Island — spectacular beaches, cliffs and coastal drives
Killary Harbour and Connemara — wonderful options for a longer day trip

The area is perfect for walking, hiking, cycling, surfing, swimming, fishing, boating, sightseeing and simply enjoying the scenery.

A Place to Slow Down

There is something different about a holiday on the west coast of Ireland.

The pace is slower. The scenery is bigger. The weather can change by the hour, creating a completely different view across the bay.

You might spend the day climbing a mountain, visiting an island or exploring a deserted beach, then come home, make dinner and sit together watching the sun disappear over Clew Bay.

That's the experience we hope you'll have at Clew Bay House.

Perfect for Families & Groups

Clew Bay House is particularly well suited to families, extended families, groups of friends and multi-generational holidays.

With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, spacious common areas and a large enclosed garden, there's room to gather together without feeling crowded.

And with the beach so close, everyone can enjoy the coast at their own pace.

Come for the Beach. Stay for the View.

Whether you're returning to Ireland, discovering County Mayo for the first time, or looking for a peaceful base from which to explore the Wild Atlantic Way, Clew Bay House offers a rare combination of space, scenery and seaside location.

Walk to the beach. Explore the islands. Climb Croagh Patrick. Discover West Mayo. Or simply sit on the deck and watch Clew Bay change throughout the day.

We'd love to welcome you to Clew Bay House.

Great Location lovely house

Had a great week in perfectly appointed setting. Fantastic views across the bay and a short stroll to a beautiful sandy beach. We loved swimming and surfing in the sea. Lovely Louisburg town is just down the road and handy for provisions. Would recommend the ferry ride and day on Clare Island too.

Perfect family escape

Clew Bay House is a perfect base for any family intending to enjoy all that South-West Mayo has to offer. The open plan ground floor layout is super for relaxing together after a day of hiking, surfing, beach walking, or whatever outdoor pursuits you choose. The large kitchen is well kitted out, perfect for preparing meals to be shared at the large dining table. Plenty of space to chill upstairs in the lounge, with a super deck/balcony to sit out and watch the sunset. Great garden overlooking Carrowmore beach (also great for pier jumping), only a 3 minute walk to the beach. Couldn’t ask for more.

This house is in need of an upgrade -better maintenance and cleaning. On arrival the windows/doors at the rear of the house were dirty (cobwebs on window frames)-I had to clean them, The bath mat in the bathroom (white) was covered in streaks of black (paint)-unsightly .The cistern in the downstairs toilet didn't refill properly-problematic as it is the only toilet on ground floor. We contacted the owner who sent a maintenance man the following day. He then brought a plumber the following day. Unfortunately despite their works the toilet did not function properly.Another problem arose when we noticed a leak (from the adjoining chimney) in a downstairs bedroom which wet a portion of the wall and caused a high degree of humidity - we contacted the owner who sent a roofer around to look at the problem. No works to the roof were carried out while we were there.I advised the owner that the house should not have been let and that we should be entitled to compensation. She claimed that as we had more people staying in the house than we had advised, she would let us off the extra payment owing for them as compensation. I consider her response to be unsatisfactory and dismissive of our inconvenience. At the time of booking I knew that a certain number of family members were free to accompany us and listed them. When two others became free to join later I completely forgot to inform the owner-she used this against us. I wouldn't recommend doing business with her.Given the issues

Louisburgh staycation

We had a great stay in Louisburgh, the house was fabulous and the location was even better. The views from the house across clew bay down to Clare island were magnificent and the house has plenty of space and a great dining table in the kitchen area. We will be returning for another stay soon. Deno and Kathleen
