Lovely house in lovely area

The house is very charming, with tasteful furniture and excellent equipment in the kitchen. We were four and we had plenty of space. The person who is managing the property locally was super nice and helpful. We had a wonderful and peaceful time in Mayo! (Do use the Eircode to find the property)

Lovely, quirky cottage with fabulous sea views

We loved our week long stay at "Martin's Place". The cottage is surprisingly roomy, pleasantly quirky and we felt great value for money. The WIFI was excellent so we were able to watch Netflix, YouTube and play on-line games simultaneously on our devices which kept us all happily entertained. Whilst staying we toured Co Mayo from Glencar Waterfall and Sligo following the Wild Atlantic Way over the week to reach Westport. Such a treat to be able to come back each evening - thank you!

Jewel in the crown.

My parents, my brother and I spent 4 nights at Martin's house from 30 July to 3 August 2022. We really had a lovely time. The views from this house are just amazing. The kitchen has every utensil and cooking pot or dish you will need for cooking a family meal. The house is so cosy. We used the house as a base for exploring North Mayo and it was great. We were all a bit sad to check out on the last morning. Tom the caretaker was really great and gave us good advice on the local area. I would love to return to this lovely place one day. Leading a stressful schedule at work, this place did the trick allowing us to all to relax and get away from it all for a few days. 5 stars from my family from Fermanagh.

Tolle und ruhige Lage - Sauberkeit verbesserungsfähig

Wir verbrachten eine Woche in dem Cottage. Der Kontakt und die sehr ausführlichen Vorabinformationen/Tipps von Martin Klima waren sehr hilfreich und ausführlich. Positive Punkte: *Aussicht und sehr ruhige Lage des Cottages *die gute Anzahl/Ausstattung an Geschirr, Besteck und Töpfen. *sehr gutes WLAN/Internet *Heizung/Warmwasserversorgung und Kamin *Wintergarten *Sehr bequeme Betten Eher negativ: *ob die Einrichtung in die Jahre gekommen ist oder das Cottage eher dunkel eingerichtet, alles ist ok, wenn es sich in einem ordentlichen und sauberen Zustand befindet. Dies war leider nicht überall der Fall. *In der Küche war der Kühlschrank nicht gereinigt worden und wir haben ihn erstmal ausgewischt. Die Dunstabzugshaube / Ofenbereich waren sehr schmierig/fettig. Auf der Ablage stand noch ein kaputtes Glas der Vormieter. Die vorhandene Gewürze waren u.a. mehrere Jahre abgelaufen. *Nur eine kleine Pfanne war für den Induktionsherd nutzbar. *Wenn über FeWo eine Reinigungsbegühr erhoben wird, sollte auch eine gewisse Grundreinigung stattfinden. Dazu gehört auch ab und an mal die Entfernung der älteren Spinnenweben oder das Abstauben der Möbel. *Obwohl Tom sehr nett und hilfsbereit ist, fanden wir es störend, dass er fast die gesamte Woche Arbeiten auf dem Grundstück erledigte und oft nur wenige Zentimeter vor den Fenstern zum Schuppen gelaufen ist. Wir finden das Cottage aber trotzdem absolut ausreichen, nur nicht für den Mietpreis, der hier über FeWo verlangt wird.

Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig, bietet aber viel Abwechslung für Ausflüge in der Umgebung. In der Nähe gibt es verschiedene Strände. Wir haben sie nicht genutzt, dieser Juni war zu kalt. Gute Pubs mit Livemusik in der Nähe. Wir haben die Woche sehr genossen.

Die Lage des Hauses ist top. Aussicht direkt aufs Meer. Sehr ruhige Umgebung. Vielen Dank an Martin Klima für sein Verständnis und einen grossen Dank an Tom. Er hat uns eingeladen in sein Haus. Er hat uns wie langjährige Freunde behandelt. Das Haus ist gut eingerichtet jedoch könnte es etwas sauberer sein. Dies ist jedoch jammern auf hohem Niveau. Wir würden wieder buchen

Traumurlaub in einem Traumhaus.

Das Haus ist auf den ersten Blick gemütlich und besticht durch den anfangs verwinkelt anmutenden Charakter. Vor allem Küche, Wohnzimmer und Kinderzimmer erwecken ein heimeliges Gefühl und haben einen bodenständigen, rustikalen Charme. Wir haben und dort vom ersten Augenblick an sehr wohl gefühlt und haben jeden Moment genossen. Der Abschied und die Abreise fielen uns sehr schwer, und wir hoffen, bald wieder dort Urlaub machen zu können.

Ein kleines Stück Paradies

Wir haben uns nach Ankunft in unserem Ferienhaus sowohl in das Häuschen als auch in den Ausblick den es bietet verliebt. Das Haus ist mit allem eingerichtet, was man zum täglichen Leben benötigt. So ein gut ausgestattes Ferienhaus hatten wir selten. Der Ausblick auf die Meeresbucht ist noch ein plus obendrauf. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen. Tom der Hauskeeper steht einem mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, so dass man sich rundum wohl fühlt. Die Abwicklung durch den Hausherren Martin lief reibungslos. Wir würden immer wieder dieses Ferienhaus mieten.

A property in an excellent quiet location with wonderful views

The property has a wonderful location and the good weather during our stay meant we could make the most of the scenic views. The property is quite old and would benefit greatly from an upgrade and a little modernisation. However, it was really well equipped with crockery and utensils, and all the appliances worked well, although the washing machine was a bit temperamental. In Martin's absence, Tom helped us settle in very quickly and sorted out any minor problems and queries we had. The furniture and fittings throughout were rather old and dark and some redecoration would make the place brighter and more modern. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the property, which provided an excellent base for exploring the scenic surrounding area. We had two meals in The Arch restaurant in Killala, and would recommend giving it a try. Killala also had a good supermarket which saved us the journey into Ballina. The wifi was good and despite the television being tuned for German programmes, we were able to use a link through our laptop to display UK TV programmes during our stay.

Charming cottage

Our family had had a rough two weeks, and really needed to get away. This cottage was perfect. Beautiful view of the bay and quaint farmland from kitchen and the sunroom. Manager (Tom) and owner both extremely responsive. Would recommend as a base for anyone staying in that area. Kitchen well equipped so we mainly cooked at home.
