    “After a 12 hour journey to reach Lakeside we arrived to a very dirty cottage.”

    There was a dirty nappy and baby vomit at the back of the sofa cushions and it smelled very unpleasant so we had to buy cleaning products and air freshener, we had to cleanse everything, hoover every where including inside the chairs and sofa, the drawers and closets before we could properly settle in. Following this it was a very enjoyable stay, the owner, Mrs Hall, was lovely and friendly, the area was quiet and really good to explore. The children had the option to use a communal play ground ...

    There was a dirty nappy and baby vomit at the back of the sofa cushions and it smelled very unpleasant so we had to buy cleaning products and air freshener, we had to cleanse everything, hoover every where including inside the chairs and sofa, the drawers and closets before we could properly settle in. Following this it was a very enjoyable stay, the owner, Mrs Hall, was lovely and friendly, the area was quiet and really good to explore. The children had the option to use a communal play ground but this was run down and full of cobwebs. They enjoyed exploring instead and playing in the tennis court. There was a communal utility room in another building which was for washing and drying clothes but this was also quite run down and dirty but virtually impossible to access after it went dark unless you used a torch because of its location. This would have been a 100% 5 star brilliant location had it received the love and attention it so clearly needs.

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.
