Due to its renovations (main house finished late 2018) this property is new, modern and is heated with oil, pellet stove (kitchen) and wood stove (living area). It is spacious and offers room for 8 people. The wellness area with hot tub was added in 2022 and well received according to the reviews.

Co. Mayo boasts a beautiful unspoilt environment and offers a magical attraction for visitors. Mayo's spectacular natural scenery lies along the Wild Atlantic Way. Some of Mayo’s highlights include The Great Western Greenway (longest off-road cycling and walking trail in Ireland), Croagh Patrick (also Westport 30 mins) with spectacular views of Clew Bay and its many islands from the summit.

History comes to life at the world famous Céide Fields in North Mayo where imprint on the land dates back 5,000 years, whilst the extensive Jackie Clarke Collection (one of the most important collections of Irish artifacts in the world) can be found in the town of Ballina. Foxford Woollen Mills offers the visitor a glimpse of the county's industrial past while the National Museum of Ireland - Country Life (outside Castlebar 30 mins), houses the national folk life collection depicting day to day life in Ireland from the 1850s to the 1950s. Other places in Mayo well worth visiting include Achill Island, Ballina, Ballinrobe (main shops), Belmullet, Castlebar, Cong, Claremorris, Foxford, Knock Village, Louisburgh - all about 30 - 90 driving minutes from Tourmakeady.

Westport (20 minutes, very scenic route straight from the house through the Mayo mountains) was voted the best place in Ireland to live recently, and offers plenty for the visitors to experience, such as Westport House and Pirate Adventure Park, which is popular with families. This delightfully laid out town boasts elegant Georgian streetscapes and effortlessly friendly
character making it an authentic but lively holiday base. The Westport area offers a wide range of sporting and outdoor activities including golf, sailing, angling, walking, cycling and horse riding. In nearby Murrisk, Croagh Patrick provides an arresting backdrop to the town and has its pilgrim climb on the last Sunday of July each year.

A place to come back again and again
Ireland itself and especially this residence gave us way more than we expected. we rent this house for 7 persons and stayed 10 days. In fact it felt more like 3 weeks. You instantly feel home - there is a big difference if the residence is owner used or just commercially used for tourists.

Wonderful break in the west of Ireland
We enjoyed a fantastic week at this wonderful property in a stunning location on Lough Mask. The facilities are excellent and Thomas (the host) was brilliant - so kind, thoughtful and welcoming. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and much appreciated after a long drive! The house is enormous and very well-equipped. Sitting in the hot tub and taking in the view of the countryside is simply sublime. If you are lucky, you may see deer grazing around the garden in the early morning. We drove out to Achill Island, Connemara, Galway and many other places. But there are also many attractions close by: Westport is a beautiful town, and Tourmakeady has a couple of excellent pubs and wonderful walk to a secluded waterfall. All in all, I would highly recommend this property and hope other people enjoy their stay as much as we did.

Wonderful stay at a well equipt property
We had a lovely time here. Thomas and Eileen were kind and courteous and extremely flexible to our needs and requests. The house has so much capacity for a large group, but also nicely sectioned off areas so people can have peace and privacy too. The annex at the far end even has its own kitchen, dining room, bedroom and bathroom. The regular kitchen is well equipt with normal day-to-day things like sugar, salt, spices etc. There's cookware, a microwave, dishwasher, kettle, and even a washing machine and tumble dryer (useful in the west of Ireland!). The hot-tub is nice, but there's so much to do you won't have much time for it. The grounds and general area is so beautiful. You're guaranteed to have a wonderful time here. Finally, I want to say a personal thank you to Eileen for sending us back those items we forgot! That really was above and beyond - you're a very kind person indeed!!! Thank you both to Thomas and Eileen for making our important and special family holilday so comfortable!

About the host

Hosted by Dr Thomas Kropmans

Host profile image
As a Dutchman I came over to Ireland for work in January 2006. Communiting from the Netherlands to Ireland and many countries all over the world, I now settled in this beautiful home in Co. Mayo.

Why they chose this property

This property is spacious and light with a beautiful view around and is close to even more beautiful scenery. However when purchased in 2017 it needed completion and it was just a pity to leave it untouched. I was able to put in my personal touch and it is beautiful and if I am not around, why should others not enjoy the house, its luxury and the beautiful scenery. Fisherman are invited to bring their boats, the lake shore and slope is only a few hundred meters away.

What makes this property unique

The 'Miller's house', the original cottage is over a hundred years old. After the renovations and new build shed the house has all modern appliances. If you come out the gate and turn left you walk straight into beautiful scenery. Westport is a beautiful place only a 20 minutes drive away. The drive to Cong, Ackel are all memorable journeys with the most beautiful views on lakes, the Wild Atlantic Way, Kylemore Abbey and much more.
