“This schoolhouse is indeed quirky but so comfortable .”

We spent a week here everything you will need is provided we were very happy to find milk in the fridge, cake and biscuits and a fruit bowel this was most appreciated and a lovely touch . House was spotless.

“Property is superb.”

Fabulous setting with different views every day depending on how much cloud and mist are around, it's well equipped and interestingly quirky.

“The quiet location was excellent with many walks and cycle ways around.”

It was also easy to get in and out of Westport where we ate every night. Also the views of Croak Patrick were superb from the upstairs room. Would recommend this accommodation highly.

“Everything you need to explore Westport & surrounds”

Booked into the Old Schoolhouse as a group of 2 families comprising 4 adults & 3 kids for 3 nights. It has everything you need to have an extremely comfortable stay. The kids had their own 'retreat' upstairs in the loft (with great views out to Croagh Patrick), including tv, books & plenty of space to hang out. The neat backyard also provided some space for the kids to run around & kick a ball. The sitting room, with open fire was awesome to come back to, and the fully equipped kitchen made it easy to cater for ourselves. So much so, that rather than make the short trip into town for dinner each night we elected to stay in, cook for ourselves and just enjoy the ambience of the Old Schoolhouse. It's a great option if you need to accommodate a large group.

The property

Westport 3 miles.

Located on the edge of Carrowholly, near the bustling town of Westport, County Mayo is this charming detached former schoolhouse.

This quirky cottage was originally built in 1836 and has been affectionately renovated while still keeping its original charm and character features, such as exposed stone walls and sloping ceilings.

This intriguing contrast has given this quaint holiday home a homely, cosy atmosphere and is the perfect County Mayo cottage to stay in whilst exploring this beautiful area.

This cottage near Westport offers two double bedrooms and a mezzanine twin room, which also serves as another sitting area from where you can see the imposing Croagh Patrick Mountain across the bay.

Outside the pretty lawned garden is the ideal place to sit and relax in this peaceful location, plus there is horse riding available in the local area, and just three miles away is the bustling town of Westport, with its great selection of shops, pubs and restaurants.

Westport is a lively and welcoming place where it won't be difficult to find some traditional Irish music, or some friendly locals to have a chat with.

Visit the spectacular gardens and beautiful views overlooking Clew Bay at the popular Westport House, play golf at the Westport Golf Club, go sailing at Mayo Sailing Centre or walk or cycle the Achill Way - all are within easy reach.

For the more adventurous, climb to the top of the looming Croagh Patrick to see some spectacular views.

This is a delightful Westport cottage for your Irish retreat, whatever you choose to see or do.
