Nice little cottage for our stay
This house was ideal for us to stay in County Mayo as a base to explore the area. It is just 10 mins from the Town of Ballina and only a short drive to the coast. The cottage contained most things we needed and instructions from the property manager we’re clear and accurate. It was great to be able to self cater as if at home. We would stay again if in the area.

We were very pleased with our stay. The cottage was spotless, cozy, well equipped and a short walk to the pub and the little grocery shop in Bonniconlon. The cottage is also a very short drive to Ballina, which is very convenient. We look forward to renting again. Thanks for a great stay.

The cottage was beautiful and had loads of room for us and our cat, Nala! Many thanks to our host Barry who helped us tremendously! Also, a big thanks to Barbara for all of her help while we were there. We are very lucky to have chosen the village of Bunnyconnellan for our month's stay as it had easy access to all of the places that we wanted to visit. The Pub, Gallaghers Bar, was very friendly and we made quite a number of friends in the village, so it was extremely hard to leave......but we'll be back!!

Second time staying
This place was so amazing we came back after two nights away! We originally stayed here for 6 nights before heading to Southern Ireland for another 6 nights. After 2 nights in the south I contacted the owner, Barry, to see if we could come back for 3 more nights. So we drove 3 hours back to the cottage. We felt so safe and comfortable here. We definitely made the right choice coming back! Hopefully we have another opportunity to come to Ireland, I know exactly where I'll be staying if I get the chance!

This was the second time we have stayed at this delightful holiday rental. Once again we have given it a 5 Star rating in every department. The cottage is spotless, tastefully furnished and contains every amenity possibly required for a relaxing, comfortable stay. The location is ideal for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way, local mountain walks and nearby beaches. Ballina is a short distance. The town offers a great opportunity to sample the local food, shops, bars & live music Barbara is a terrific host and a really nice person, she made sure we had everything we needed and was at hand if we wanted any help.

Spotless clean little bungalow in great location, highly recommend
From the outset I have nothing but high praise for this little place! From booking, Barry the host was extremely helpful. He sent emails recommending places to eat, amenities, places to visit etc. All this he did without being asked which I thought was particularly kind. To me he went above and beyond. Arriving at the property: The little bungalow was exactly as described. The front and back gardens are spacious. The back was so big for all the size of the little bungalow so if you have kids with you, like we did, the will never leave it! We put up a paddling pool and they kicked the ball keeping themselves entertained for hours. The whole property was spotless clean. Sofa and beds were so comfy! There was even an extra pull out bed and an air bed so you could definitely sleep 6 here. I was surprised to find so many appliances in the bungalow: hair dryer, travel cot, hoover, iron, ironing board, mop and bucket, microwave, toaster etc There was also a plentiful supply of cleaning products at hand: fairy liquid, hand soap, hand sanitiser, bathroom cleaner, surface cleansing wipes etc. It really was a home from experience. Also there is a plentiful supply of dvds available for kids and adults alike. Local Host: What can I say about the local host Barbara? Well she is absolutely fantastic!!! Barbara called soon after we arrived to check that everything was OK and to see if we needed anything at all. Barbara is so warm, bubbly and friendly. She really did go above and beyond for us on many occasions and we are so grateful to Barbara for everything she did for us during our one week stay at this property. She even brought us flowers from her garden! Barbara is Barry's hidden gem! Location: This bungalow is an end property which gives it great space. It's in a quiet area with a local convenience store only a short walk away. The town of Ballina is only a short 10min drive. Great location to explore other parts of Ireland like we did. Improvements: There's not much to improve on really. Barry and Barbara just keep doing what you are doing the reviews will speak for themselves. If I was to be really picky I would recommend that the back lawn is keep mowed like the front lawn as it's just a tiny bit long and annoyed the bits while playing football, also the back is not very private as it backs on to houses behind and you can see everything that is going on. As the back yards space is so huge a lovely patio table and chairs would be a nice touch!

Outstanding Cosy Cottage, Nice Location - Perfect for the Wild Atlantic Way & Beach
We had an amazing time at this lovely holiday home in County Mayo on the West Coast of Ireland. We had spent the previous week travelling along the Wild Atlantic Way through Counties Derry, Donegal & Sligo. Stopping over at various holiday rentals, The whole experience we had with regards to this holiday rental was by far the best. The owner, Barry made contact shortly after we made the reservation and was very helpful with general information and our requirements. Upon entering the cottage, we noticed a little vase of freshly cut flowers on the kitchen table, their was also a small tray with sachets of coffee, sugar ,envelope tea bags and a few chocolate neapolitans. Shortly after we arrived, the co-host, Barbara called over to see us, Barbara was brilliant, she made sure we were happy with everything and was very informative with regards to the local area, places to visit, including some good restaurant recommendations. All areas of the interior/rooms were nicely furnished and sparkling clean.The beds were very comfortable, we had plenty of clean towells. The bathroom gave us the option of either a bath or shower Their is central heating throughout. The whole place was extremely cosy and comfortable.The local village has a convenience store, which we found very handy for essentials.The town of Ballina is only a few miles away, it is a lovely town, which has some really nice bars & restaurants.The nearest beach at Enniscrone (which is amazing!) is only a short car journey away. We are already making plans for a return visit! If you are thinking of visting County Mayo,or on the Wild Atlantic Way, look no further than this holiday rental, its a real gem. Susan Marie Lowry

Clean, tidy, and an excellent neighbor/caretaker
Barry responded very quickly to the request to rent. Check-in was very easy. The place was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there were plenty of towels for the bath and the kitchen. Location was a little out of the way, but fairly easy to find. It is a semi-detached property. There was no WiFi, and the heater in the living room was electric, made to resemble a free-standing wood stove, which was a little disappointing. Overall, it was cozy, and a nice to stay.

Wirklich empfehlenswert - we highly recommend this cottage!
Barrys Haus war für uns (2 Erwachsene) perfekt. Wir wollten gar nicht mehr weg. Ein gut geschnittenes Häuschen mit offener Küche mit Esstisch - zum Empfang lag dort Obst bereit - und Wohnzimmer mit gemütlichen Möbeln. Im Winter auch ein Kamin. Wir hatten nur Sonne, daher war das nicht nötig. Ein großes Bad mit Badewanne/Dusche. Wir schlafen gerne in getrennten Zimmern; das ging gut in den beiden Schlafzimmern (1x Queensize Bett, 2x Einzelbetten mit 1,90 m Länge). Als einzigen Wunsch hätten wir gerne etwas härtere Matratzen gehabt. Vor dem Haus eine kleine Bank, um den Sonnenuntergang zu genießen. An der Seite eine eigene Wiese mit Wäschespinne. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung und der Küche ist sehr gut. An vieles Praktische wurde gedacht: Garderobenhaken, Erste-Hilfe-Set, Feuerlöscher und sogar Werkzeug haben wir gefunden, um das klemmende Kofferschloss zu öffnen. Waschmaschine, Mikrowelle, Herd, Backofen – alles prima. Keine Geschirrspülmaschine, aber das hat uns nicht gestört. Die Lage ist schön und ruhig (das letzte Haus in einer Sackgasse) und für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen im wunderschönen Nordwesten von Irland sehr gut geeignet. Im Örtchen gibt es fußläufig einen Mini-Supermarkt mit gutem Angebot und Post sowie einen Pub. Ballina ist 10 km entfernt, eine hübsche Kleinstadt mit allem, was an Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gewünscht wird. Bei Fragen haben sowohl Barry (per Telefon) als auch Barbara (vor Ort) schnell und kompetent reagiert. Wir können das Haus wärmstens empfehlen!

Es war eine Freude, dass Claudia und Andi in unserer Ferienwohnung in Co. Mayo übernachteten Ireland. Sie erwiesen sich als die perfekten Gäste - gute Kommunikation, Einhaltung Der Hausregeln und alles sauber und ordentlich hinterlassen. Wir würden Claudia und Andi Anderson Gastgebern empfehlen

Le vrai charme d’une demeure irlandaise
Tout est pensé pour le confort du voyageur. La maison est agréable avec une décoration très personnalisée du meilleur goût. Un point central pour une exploration du Conemara, du Mayo jusqu’au rives du Shannon.
