About this property

3 Bedroom Detached Bungalow With Fabulous Views In Every Direction

Sitting in the foothills of Croagh Patrick and overlooking Clew bay, Gortmore is a 3 bedroom detached bungalow with fabulous views in every direction. Completed in 1999 the bungalow is modern, well planned, bright, airy and spacious. Sitting on its own site it is not overlooked and has direct access to the main Westport-Loiusburgh road. The property is located in Murrisk village which is 6 kms from Westport, a town identified by the Irish Times in 2012 as "the best place to live in Ireland". Our guests have been families looking for safe friendly accommodation, active walkers, golfers, fishermen, cyclists, and artists as well as those simply looking for peace, tranquil views and relaxation.

Beautiful views

This is a lovely property with spectacular views from every window - we loved sitting in the living room watching the sunsets over Clew Bay. The cottage is 15mins walk from the start of the Croagh Patrick hike and 10mins from a lovely gastro pub. The cottage is well stocked and very comfortable, it set back from the road so it is very private and quiet.

Great location - quiet, beautiful, close to Westport

The house is clean and comfortable, with a nice kitchen and lovely views. The property manager checked in by text several times to make sure things were OK. You can walk to the Croagh Patrick trail which is a challenge but well worth the climb if you like to hike.

Fantastic Property

Fantastic property in an ideal location to explore county Mayo. We will hopefully be returning for a third time later this year. The house has everything you need for a holiday and there are stunning views from every window. The local gastro pub is within walking distance, as is the foot of Croagh Patrick. I can't recommend it enough. Thanks Mary.

Another greaholiday

This is our second time staying at Mary's lovely property in Gortmore. The house suited our needs perfectly. It is well stocked with basic essentials, very clean,spacious and has fabulous views of the beautiful surrounding area from every room. Check in was very straightforward. It provides the perfect base for exploring Westport and surrounding areas, and proximity to nearby beaches and walks is fabulous. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Míle Buíochas.

Murrisk

All ok. However the property was shown as being west of the Tavern in Murrisk on the VRBO map and precise location was only visible on booking. House was fine and was well equipped. A faulty ensuite light/fan switch was reported.

Fantastic location and amazing views

Very comfortable, lots of room for everyone. Kitchen is well equipped and all the rooms are well furnished. Well located for nearby walks and access to nearby Westport. Loved the views of Croag Patrick at the back (when not covered in cloud!) and the bay at the front. I'd definitely book again as there are so many nearby places to visit we didn't manage to get to them all :)

A truly wonderful property

We stayed a week but wished we could have stayed longer. Its a lovely property, with stunning views and is very peaceful yet it is only 10 minutes to the centre of Westport. Murrisk has a fabulous pub which is within a few minutes walk. The property is incredibly well stocked with everything you could possibly need and is very comfortably furnished and very clean. Mary was very helpful throughout. It is a house that we would like to come back to.

Splendid!!

Every room in that property has special views. To front and side, the bay and the mountains beyond. The evening light is special. To the side and rear there are grass and broom covered hills towards the mountains. Perfect location, helped by an acclaimed gastropub not quarter of a mile away, (yum)and Westport town with great facilities including Lidl and Supervalu, 10 mins drive. There is also a filling station / shop about quarter of a mile away. Lovely fitted kitchen, huge fridge freezer, great oven, microwave , toaster and sandwich grill. Basics are provided food and toiletry wise as a starter pack. And the owner had a new well built as the local water is sometimes a bit odd, allegedly. The cold water supply to this property is glorious to drink and makes an excellent cup of tea. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout, and I thoroughly recommend

About the host

Hosted by Mary Clark

Host profile image
I designed and built Gortmore in 1999 and try to visit as much as possible as I have strong family ties in Murrisk and love the countryside but I live in Leeds for most of the year.

Why they chose this property

My family come from Murrisk and although I was brought up in Northern Ireland, I find County Mayo such a beautiful county. I chose the site because of the wonderful views over Clew Bay from the Living Room, bedroom and kitchen. The dining room has a great view of the pilgrimage mountain, Croagh Patrick. The bungalow was designed to be very light and airy.

It is just off the main Westport- Lousisburgh Road so no-one has difficuly finding it. At the same time it is completely private on its own elevated site.

What makes this property unique

All my visitors are very impressed with the views and with the kitchen. Sometimes they arrive at night and waken up to a complete mirror imagine reflection of nearby Murrisknabol in Clew Bay.

On the practical side the kitchen has every modern convenience and it is spacious so that on a big occasion several people can cook at once.

The living room is really the quiet room, but does contain the modern TV with Free Sat.

Wireless Internet is the most recent addition enabling me to keep in touch with family back in Leeds.
