This location was ideal for us and our dogs as we needed to escape the madness of fireworks over Halloween and enjoy a quiet countryside break. The property was clean and well cared for and had all the facilities we needed. The owner was always on hand to deal with any issues and it was the icing on the cake to have the company of their cats and ponies

The peaceful Blue Cottage
I loved the Blue Cottage. Peaceful, calming and away from everywhere. It was exactly what I needed as I was recovering from 6 months of chemo. Teddy, my male Lhasa Apso, fell in love with the white Shetland pony. He would run to her when he went out and lick her mouth. She wasn’t sure what to make of it at the beginning, but eventually joined in. So funny watching the pair of them. Sasha wasn’t so interested. We had a slight problem the first night; the electricity went off, probably affected by the severe storm the day before. Sean very kindly brought me candles, wood and turf for the fire and make sure everything was okay. I felt very well looked after and certainly would recommend it to anyone else. I was sorry to leave.

Beautiful cottage and lovely owners
Unfortunately this was a work trip so I didn’t get to explore the beautiful countryside as much as I would have liked but the cottage was absolutely beautiful. Really well equipped and comfortable. The owners Seán & Suzi were warm and welcoming. Great place to come back to after a hard days work but I would love to bring the family back for a wee holiday sometime. First class.

We absolutely loved our stay here, we were looking foward to a nice peaceful long weekend and this cottage provided just that. The kids loved having there own rooms as they usually have to share a room when we go away. My son had hours of enjoyment using the extra large box of lego to not only play with but also to do his stop motion videos. We did have the unfortunate inconvenience of car troubles on a bank holiday weekend but sean and suzie were very helpful in suggesting places that could help us and even offered to baby/dog sit if we needed and gave us extra time in the cottage before checking out so that we could make areangements. We could not recommend them more for a quiet getaway and we look foward to returning in the future. They have provided everything you will need while you are there, there is no utensil or cookware that you will find yourself without. Thank you so much for having us

Micks little slice of heaven
Within 30 minutes of booking I was contacted by Suzy. It was a last minute booking as we decided to go away for our son’s 12th birthday. Directions were spot on. You can see the house as you drive along the track!Advised hosts of our ETA and we were met at the property by Suzy & Séan. Both lovely and welcoming.There was a lovely message wishing our son a happy birthday from the clever kitties 😊Suzy & Séan Gave us all the information we would need. And a brief rundown on how the house was refurbished. The pictures tell the tale beautifully. We were instantly blown away by the beautiful setting and the 2 ponies came over to greet us swiftly followed by Tilly the cat, our youngest took a real shine to her and she slept in his room with him. The house has everything you could need and more. From the beautiful bedding to hair straighteners!! The underfloor heating was amazing and there were some logs/kindle for us to have fires both evenings. The kitchen is fully equipped. We had forgotten milk so hubby found a Aldi about 10 minutes down the road. We didn’t see a soul which was bliss. I can imagine it being even more stunning in the warmer months.Stunning views both front & back. Our boys loved exploring and came across the makings of a bar, possibly a new project? We loved it so much we are looking at dates to visit again for longer.I’d highly recommend this little slice of blue heaven. See you soon. Louise Andy Jude & Rohan💙

A taste of real Ireland in Mayo. Peaceful location, characterful accommodation with really comfortable beds, rooms and living room. We both slept so well. It was fully stocked with everything, plus more, you could think of including games, cable tv, extensive kitchen equipment, high quality bedding and a delightful bath. The hosts were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and informative. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning very soon. Thank you Mayo. Thank you to our two & four legged friends.

Séan and Suzi have done a fantastic job at converting a piece of history into a present-day retreat home. They communicated with us before during and after our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. Excellent location and amenities and a genuine Irish holiday location!

The property is in an idyllic location, if you want piece and quiet. The house is very comfortable throughout. Sean met us at property and gave us a quick run down of the house. The information folder provided included "everything" you need to know about property and surrounding amenities. The enclosed front garden was perfect for our dog. Any enquries we had ( which were very few) were answered immediately. Sean and suzi were perfect hosts and we fully intend to rebook
