    “Mostly very good.”

    Do not take the following as comments which negate the overall experience. We were very pleased with our stay. But the owners/operators could think about. Central heating could do with attention.

    Do not take the following as comments which negate the overall experience. We were very pleased with our stay. But the owners/operators could think about. Central heating could do with attention. Water supply temperature to radiators is too low for a winter stay. Somebody may have tried to do something about this, because the water temperature to the hot water service to taps is ridiculously high. A waste of energy and so hot as to be unsafe for children or the confused or disabled. The hot water tank is unlagged.........which is a serious waste of money on heating oil. An insulting blanket for the cylinder would cost little. Or, failing that, wrap an old coat around it. We wrapped it in our coats during our stay. A previous review criticized the kitchen ware as not being a matched set......well, it is not .....but that matters not a jot. It is a comfortable, nicely refurbished cottage, with a sitting and dinning place place by a window with magical views. Plenty of well-surfaced parking area, including parking at the rear cottage out of sight from the public road.

The property

Resting in Doohoma, a short drive from the coastal town of Belmullet, County Mayo, is Nephin View, a delightful, single-storey home.

Offering a prime position looking out upon the Atlantic Ocean, Nephin View offers a homely base for a family break, including all the essentials for a self-catered stay.

Park up on the private driveway whilst taking in the panoramic vistas surrounding your new abode.

Step indoors to reach the inviting sitting room, complete with plush seating and a woodburning stove to light on cooler days.

Continue into the open-plan living space, the heart of the home, where you can prepare delicious meals, dine as a six, and unwind upon the sumptuous corner sofa with the Atlantic Ocean in the backdrop.

When sleep calls, select between three spacious double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a private en-suite wet room; the home is completed with a further wet room, also housing a washing machine for a convenient break.

Spend the morning in the garden, before heading to Belmullet, a coastal oasis that covers a huge, rural hinterland, and home to the Carne Golf Links for those looking to improve their short game, and the BĂ©al an Mhuirthead Tidal Pool for those who fancy a relaxing dip with tranquil sea views.

The Mullet Peninsula offers a lovely coastal drive to Blacksod Pier where boat trips are available to Inishkea Islands.

Whilst you're there, take a tour of Blacksod Lighthouse or partake in some sea angling or another watersport.

Make the car journey to nearby Ballina, a bustling settlement where you'll locate a hub of shops and eateries, whilst the Belleek Wood/Park, imposing Belleek Castle and Museum, and the Ballina Golf Club rest nearby, offering something for all types of visits.

Head for the coast, where you can try your hand at a variety of watersports, including kite surfing and scuba diving, along with scenic walks along the Wild Atlantic Way such as the Erris Head and Cross loops.

Achill Island just across the bay, a short journey by boat or approximately 1 hour by car, or for a nature-filled hiking area, be sure to tour CĂ©ide Fields, an expansive archaeological site, oozing history, and beauty.

Your trip to County Mayo would be incomplete without a visit to the Nephin National Park, which covers over fifteen-thousand hectares of uninhabited, unspoilt wilderness, and is overlooked by the magnificent Nephin Beg Mountain range.

Gather your loved ones for an unforgettable getaway to Nephin View.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of €350.

About the location

BELMULLET, COUNTY MAYO

Bangor Erris 12 miles.

Known as the capital of the Mullet Peninsula in the barony of Erris, the coastal town of Belmullet rests between Blacksod and Broadhaven Bays, inlets of the Atlantic Ocean, and represents the entry point to this mystical and unspoilt County Mayo headland. Although classed as a Gaeltacht (or Irish-speaking) area, English is universally used. Much of the native culture and heritage of Ireland can be experienced here, from traditional Irish music to the song and dance for which Ireland is renowned the world over. Many visitors to the area enjoy the fantastic fishing on offer, both salt and fresh water, while watersports are also popular with surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing available from the beaches locally. Welcoming and friendly, the town boasts a number of pubs, four hotels, shops and seafood restaurants, as well as a selection of festivals throughout the year. At the four corners of Erris you will find the Neolithic Cèide Fields, the unspoilt wilderness of Ballycroy National Park, the towering cliffs of Ceann Iorrais (Erris Head) and the final resting place of the fabled Children of Lir, the island of Inis Gluaire.
