Our house is a converted Oldstyle farmhouse/ bungalow with build on extension and a sun lounge for beautiful views overlooking Croag Patrick Mountain "the reek". The Rooms are nice and spacious and decorated in neutral colors for a relaxing stay With A short walk you are on the shore of Clogher Lake, where you can have a peaceful time to meditate, relax etc. or a Barbeque in the evening weather permitting
Together with my husband we ike to make people feel at home and enjoy there stay in Ireland , we like to welcome them like a part of the family to extend their experience of Ireland. However if a person wants their privacy ,no problem we will acomodate that to . All Guests are welcome with us.
The area can be explored walking or with a bycicle which we can provide. The heart Westport is 3.5 miles away from where we live which can be reached on two roads, and will take you further to Connemara Achill Island etc
