Summary: We've stayed in a lot of properties and this is my new favorite. We brought 3 of our adult kids and 1 daughter in law and there was plenty of space and separation so they didn't keep us up if/when they stayed up later than us. It was old world charm with modern conveniences, and central to so many wonderful sites in Mayo. We went to Cong, Galway, Westport, Knock, Ballintubber, Ballinrobe, and up to Ballina & the incredible Downpatric Head Dun Briste sea stack & cliffs (1 hr & 1/2 scenic drive.) The Tourmakaedy waterfall & church ruins were close by & worth a 2nd visit. We had the time of our lives & felt like guests in a relative's home. Thomas & Eileen, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Your hospitality was top notch. Our bed was very comfortable & my hubby is very picky & showers were hot & had great pressure. I miss seeing the sheep out the windows every morning & the 2 bucks that greeted me from the other side of the kitchen door 1 morning.

Summary: We were hoping for some relaxed family time together with something for everyone in our mixed-age family group. We definitely chose the right place. Our ages ranged from just 2 to 75 years, so quite a challenge! Thomas and Eileen’s home in Mayo worked perfectly! The house and outdoor facilities were spacious and comfortable; the kitchen was excellent….well-equipped with room for family meals and cooking together. One day we cooked for nine as some family members staying locally visited us. We were all able to find some quiet areas when peace and calm were needed too. The house was warm and had a variety of heating systems, which in September was occasionally required in the evening. Thomas responded immediately to any enquiries or questions that we had. He and Eileen called around and spent as much time as necessary with us to answer any questions regarding the house or the beautiful area around. We had a wonderful time and everyone in the group expressed a desire to return. The wood fired hot tub out under the moon and stars, overlooking the lake, won’t be forgotten, nor the beautiful woodland walks or breakfast in Devour on my birthday! Thank you, Thomas and Eileen.

Summary: This is a spacious and comfortable family home filled with sculpture and art and all the conveniences of a home PLUS it is located overlooking the lake with a gorgeous garden, patio and wellness area with hot tub and sauna. We had great fun in the hot tub despite the rain! The owners are so personable and accommodating. They were on site to show us how to use the appliances and hot tub etc and had a lovely gift basket of biscuits, bread butter, jam, and lovely wine which was so thoughtful and kind. It was a cosy stay in a real home.

Summary: We had a wonderful, relaxing week away in this spacious home which has everything we could possibly wish for. The house is in a lovely location and it's design really makes the most of the beautiful views. The property is just like a home from home, very comfortable and incredibly well equipped - it was an absolute pleasure to spend time there. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming, ensuring we knew everything we needed to about the property and local area; and very understanding keeping in touch throughout the week using the app. There was ample room, which we loved as our party consisted of three generations, so we could all spread out and come together whenever we wished. Overall, a wonderful family holiday in a beautiful home that we would love to visit again very soon.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: Modern house with old world charm set in the lovely countryside surrounding Tourmakeady and with great views of Loch Mask. The addition of a hot tub in the peaceful surroundings adds an extra layer of luxury which is ideal for a family holiday.
