“Lovely place, great location.”

Gerry the owner was very welcoming, we had a problem with the shower which he dealt with straight away. The location is perfect for a quiet getaway, within walking distance of the beach, great views, close to amenities, happy to recommend.

“It is a lovely clean and tidy bungalow and peaceful place to have a relaxing holiday.”

When I arrived, Gerry had kindly provided scones, soda bread and butter and a voucher for a nearby cafe. This was very welcoming and a lovely treat. The house door was a different colour to the photo on the website, so at first I drove past it. The beach is walking distance at the end of the road. I would definitely recommend to family and friends for a holiday. Thank you for letting me stay in your lovely bungalow.

“The cottage was perfect for us.”

The surrounding area and close proximity to the beach were an added bonus. Gerry the property owner was very welcoming and provided lovely bread and scones on arrival together with a voucher for the local cafe which was absolutely fantastic.

“The main problem regarding the accommodation was that the spec said there was a green door and a brown fence.”

It was a red door and no fence so for 40 mins we drove around trying to find it. We could not find the place and had to ask someone we met on the road to bring us to the house not ideal with covid around. I rang the owner and did not get an answer and he did not ring back till 3 hours later. The owner was not there when we arrived to let us know where everything was. The other thing was it said it was pet friendly but there was nothing to stop the dog from getting out onto the road when we were going out so we had to leave the dog in the house which we were not supposed to do or bring him with us. The last thing was the outside was like a building site with dirty water bowls all over the place for the dog to drink from and the place in bad disrepair.

“We had a lovely stay.”

The house was very clean and well appointed. We struggled a little to find it, because the door is now red and not green as described in the listing, but we got there in the end. We had a lovely relaxing break.

“Host Gerry was very helpful and left us a lovely welcome pack.”

The area was quiet and very relaxing. There was plenty to do within 30-45 minutes drive.

“The house is very cosy with everything you could need.”

It’s also very spacious with a great layout. We were travelling with an 18 month old and 4 year old, and a cot and high chair were supplied. We truly had a wonderful stay, the house is a ten minute stroll down a quiet lane to the most gorgeous beach. Neighbors had chickens and ducks and were so friendly, the children had a ball. It surpassed our expectations. Gerry was kind and friendly and a pleasure to deal with. We will be back !

“The ad in the listing stated that there was surfing in the area which there wasn't.”

We had to drive about 30 km for surfing which was annoying as we took cottage for that reason. Otherwise cottage was lovely but a bit remote with no supermarket near, it's about 10 klm away.

- Anne, August 2020
Emer August 2020

“It's a lovely location, quiet and tranquil with outstanding scenic views all from the front garden of the house.”

Strategically well placed along the "wild Atlantic way" and with excellent access to smaller traditional towns or bigger, more vibrant destinations, depending on what you're looking for.

“Fab location.”

Great home owner who took the time to show us around the cottage, also got us a meal voucher for local restaurant which we were very grateful for! Beautiful cottage with amazing views. Lots of lovely beaches nearby, one being a few minutes walk from the property. Everything we needed was in the property, washing machine etc came in very handy! The whole family loved the trip and couldn't fault the property.

“We were pleased to find there was an en-suite shower room as well as the family bathroom.”

The rooms were all an excellent size. The beach is really lovely, great for building sandcastles and no more than 10 to 15 minutes walk away. The scenery from Atlantic View is beautiful. The village of Ballycastle was again within 10 to 15 minutes walk. The local people were all very helpful and friendly. Gerry was also very helpful and easy to get hold of. We would certainly recommend Atlantic View.

“The owner Gerry was very friendly and helpful.”

He met us in the village and drove us to the cottage. During the week he generously provided a 20 Euro voucher for a lopcal restaurant and also telephoned to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Thoroughly recommended.

“Great location with the beach just down the road, our dog Ozzy loved it, the house has everything you need, i use a wheelchair and with the aid of our own ramps to get up the front steps the house is easy to get around, Mr collins the owner was more than helpful with anything you need, i would go back to the house at the drop of a hat,we had a great time.”

“We loved our stay at Atlantic View.”

It was very clean and warm with great views and everything we needed was provided. A short walk into the village or down to a secluded beach. The owner was very friendly and helpful - we hope to return with friends.

About the location

BALLYCASTLE, COUNTY MAYO

Killala 8.6 miles; Ballina 16.4 miles.

The quaint village of Ballycastle is located near the beautiful rugged coastline of north Mayo, and is superbly situated just a short distance from Downpatrick Head, one of the main points of interest on the Wild Atlantic Way. The lovely Stags of Broadhaven, 600 million year old rocky islets are located a few miles further west. Ballycastle is a small but thriving village, an easy drive from the lively towns of Ballina, Crossmolina and Killala, where the 12.5km "Monasteries of the Moy" cycling greenway is open to Ballina. The ancestry and heritage of the local area can be experienced at the Ceide Fields Centre, where you can visit the Interpretative Centre set beside one of the world’s oldest Stone Age monuments. The spectacular cliffs at Ceide reach 365 metres and offer sensational, panoramic views, while the wider area also offers an abundance of splendid sandy beaches. The coastal waters around Ballycastle are becoming increasingly popular for scuba diving and other water activities, however if you prefer a more relaxing coastal holiday, the sandy beaches are ideal for a leisurely stroll.
