“Great for fishing”

Cottage was basic but funcional, set in a quiet, beautiful area close to the lake. Great place to get away from it all.

Lakeshore Holiday Homes

A group of 3 charming cottages set on the shores of Lough Mask at Cahir, Ballinrobe, County Mayo. Nestling in an Area of Special Conservation along the lakeshore amidst a unspoilt woodland of hazel, ash and birch, a haven for deer, pine martin, foxes and squirrels, these delightful cottages offer the ideal retreat in the great outdoors. The cottages have been furnished to provide quality and comfort during your stay. A choice of 2 and 3 bedrooms cottages are available, with a fully fitted kitchen and open plan living with open fires. These cosy rural cottages lead down to a private jetty, situated in a sheltered cove on mighty Lough Mask. Fishing boats with outboard engines and qualified fishing guides are available to hire from the owners. Lough Mask is world renowned for its trout fishing with 4 species of trout thriving in its crystal clear limestone waters. The town of Ballinrobe is 3 miles away with its many pubs, shops and restaurants. Travel to the nearby village of Cong, an idyllic setting, home to Ashford Castle and haven for holidaymakers and visitors.

Spend a day in Westport, the bustling oasis in the west and savour its beautiful craft shops, restaurants and cafes.

The property

This cosy, detached cottage is situated in a truly wonderful location, on the shores of the famous Lough Mask, 3 miles from the thriving market town of Ballinrobe in County Mayo.

Just one of three cottages in this private location, Lakeside benefits from the peace and tranquillity of nature, and is ideally situated for those who love fishing, boating and bird watching.

The views out over the tranquil lake first thing in the morning are truly breathtaking, and for those seeking peace and solace, this Ballinrobe cottage really is the place to be.

The cottage's private harbour makes it ideal for a spot of fishing, and with nobody else around, you will be sure to get the catch of the day.

The outside play area and tennis courts are fantastic for children to play out, and after everyone is worn out, your comfortable Ballinrobe cottage awaits.

If fishing isn't for you, perhaps hire a guide for the day, who will tell you all you need to know about the 22,000 acres of the impressive lough, and the 46 species of birds close by.

This stunning Ballinrobe cottage really is a haven, and it has something to please even the most discerning visitor.

About the location

BALLINROBE, COUNTY MAYO

Westport 20 miles; Galway 30 miles.

Ballinrobe is a lively market town on the River Robe in County Mayo, close to Lough Mask, Lough Carra and Lough Corrib. Geographically, it is ideally located as a touring base for those wishing to explore Galway, Mayo and west Ireland. Dating back to the 1300s, Ballinrobe is believed to be the oldest town in South Mayo, and is surrounded by many features of archaeological, architectural, historic and ecological interest. Ballinrobe is known as the lake angling centre of the west, and with 60,000 acres of lough fishing, and miles of river fishing close by, it is easy to see why, plus the town offers a championship 18 hole golf course and spring and summer horse racing meetings. For day trips, the stunning Mayo coastline can be easily reached in half an hour, and a visit to the world-famous Connemara National Park, with its breathtaking walks and amazing scenery, makes for an unforgettable day trip.
