Everything was perfect, and we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. We made great memories here and hope to visit again soon!

What a fun place to stay. Sean and Suzi are wonderful Host. They have everything you will need. Plus 2 Shetland ponies and 4 cats! We bought a bag of carrots at aldis right down the road in Ballyhaunis to feed the ponies. We even got to watch the cows being herded from field to field right up the road. There were lots of games to entertain us on our evenings and lots of useful information as to what to do while in Ireland. I told Suzi when we booked the cottage that we were doing some family ancestry. She was so kind and had a print out on the kitchen table with a 1926 census. It turned out to be very useful and found a 3rd cousin with that into. The cottage was very clean and has ample parking and turnaround area. They have hot water for a good shower and even a deep bath tub for a nice soak. Plus they have heated floor which it’s absolutly the best! It is situated centrally for all the destinations we made. If we were to come back we will surely book with them again.

We loved our stay at this property. The managers were friendly, accommodating and responsive to our questions. The cats and ponies were an extra bonus that made the trip. We used the kitchen quite a bit and had everything we needed. We did not use the washer because we didn’t have a dryer or way to hang clothes. DVDs were great. Beds were comfortable. Heated floors was nice. Great to have a tub and shower. Thanks again!

Many thanks for your time. We very much appreciate your feedback and are thrilled you found the beds super comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. So sorry we didn’t explain that there is a washing line and pegs under the hay barn for drying laundry : (

About the host

Hosted by sean and suzi

We moved back to Mayo in 2000 after 10 years of renovating Seán's family home - it took so long because of time and budget constraints. and we were joined in December by our daughter, Muirgheal. The family has now grown to include a donkey, 2 alpacas, 4 dogs, 2 miniature shetland ponies, 4 cats, 3 terrapins and 2 fish. The renovations bug took hold again in 2003 and we bought the dilapidated cottage which is now Tigh Mhic. We love the peace and quiet and empty spaces of Mayo and though others would too so planned the work with the idea of providing a home from home holiday cottage. What we didn't realise was how much we would enjoy sharing our love of east Mayo. Tigh Mhic is less than 3 miles from home which makes it easy to be on hand to help our visitors and maintain the cottage to the highest standards.

Why they chose this property

Mick's Place is a fully restored cottage. It is in such a peaceful setting we have taken ourselves off there for our own holidays! If you are out at the front and a vehicle goes past you look up and is not a common sight. You are definitely out in the country with the possibility of spotting hares, hawks, herons, foxes and swallows but only under 10 minutes from the small hub of Claremorris which offers shops, supermarkets, pubs, leisure facilities (including golf club and swimming pool), coffee shops and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Our joys are gentle walks, occasional cycle rides, sitting with a good book and a glass of wine and spotting nature. These interests are definitely well served at Mick's Place. We also love the fact that Tig Mhic is well placed for day trips to Westport, Achill, Galway, Sligo, Carrick on Shannon and Roscommon..to name but a few of the beautiful places to visit in the west of Ireland
