The property
This welcoming detached cottage is situated on a quiet development, within walking distance from a sandy beach on the Mullet Peninsula, four miles from Belmullet, County Mayo. The Erris region that this property is situated in was voted in 2014 as the best location to 'go wild' in Ireland by the Irish Times. This region has recently been classified as one of the world's top star-gazing spots by the International Dark Sky Association adding a new string to its tourism bow. Located in the heart of the Ghaeltacht region and on the Wild Atlantic Way, this charming cottage is ideal for a family or group of friends in order to explore this part of the Emerald Isle. Inside this lovely cottage is an open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area, plus to enjoy some peace and quiet you may wish to take the steps up to another sitting area, which also has access to a balcony. All three bedrooms have the convenience of en-suite facilities, so after a busy day exploring the area or after spending time on the beach, return to your holiday home and relax before retiring to the bedroom for a good night’s sleep. Close by is the town of Belmullet, where you will find shops, pubs and eateries, plus the area boasts a wide range of activities, including golf, walks, fishing and cycling. Alternatively you may wish to explore the wonderful Wild Atlantic Way or visit the Ceide Fields, which is an archaeological site overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. A great base for a holiday in County Mayo.
