“Lovey cottage which we used as a base for visitng relatives.”

Very clean and comfortable. Would book again.

Very clean and comfortable. Would book again.

- Mr Fisher, July 2019
“Everything was perfect.”

We love this place. The only problem was that our GPS sent us the wrong place, but I called the owner and she help us get there. It would help if the GPS code was given. The owner left food for us and really cared about us. Our eleven year old son enjoyed the books and the movies that were there for guest to use. We plan to return. I really can not say enough good things about this place.

- Mrs Nuar, July 2019
“Beautiful cosy cottage with stunning views over open countryside.”

The owner Geraldine couldn't be more friendly and helpful. The cottage is a short drive to Knock Shrine which made it the perfect location for our family. Hope to visit again soon.

- Mr Smith, May 2019
“Well equipped cottage and Geraldine is lovely !”

Would highly recommend !

- Mrs Hughes, February 2019
“Our beautiful little spot of Mayo- for just a week!”

What a lovely little gem this cottage is! It’s much nicer than the photos would indicate: so spacious and sunny (when it’s not raining— which it does, a lot, in the West of Ireland). There’s plenty of room for at least six people, which at the rate charged is a real steal! The house has everything you could need for self-catering. It is very isolated, down a long and narrow country road; so if you’re expecting up be in the heart of the “action” you will no doubt be disappointed. But if you want peace and quiet and lots of natural beauty, this is your place. The greatest asset of Golden Acres, though, is the host, Geraldine Golden. Even by Irish standards she is friendly, helpful, and caring: the epitome of Irish Hospitality. Meeting her was really the highlight of our trip to the West of Ireland.

“Geraldine was a fantastic host.”

Irish hospitality at its most genuine and sincere. She was genuinely concerned about our welfare, and nothing was too great acrequest for her. She went far beyond the call of duty making us feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. The cottage was simply lovely— so large and spacious, immaculately kept, with every facility you could want. It was such a haven to come home to after a difficult day touring on challenging Irish roads! It’s muchnucer than the published photos would indicate. It is isolated— way down a country road,well off the main highway. But once you’ve dtiven it once or twice, it’s not nearly as intimidating. But everything is so peaceful and lovely at Golden Acres. It’s was a lovely spot of County Mayo that we were pleased to call home for a week.

“Lovely clean comfortable cottage owned by a lovely lady who couldn't do enough ...”

Lovely clean comfortable cottage owned by a lovely lady who couldn't do enough to make sure we had an amazing stay was even kind enough to leave us milk bread and biscuits would 100 percent recommend this cottage for how lovely it was and how lovely our stay was made

- Mrs Carroll, August 2018
“The cottage was well equipped and met all our needs.”

The owner was helpful and came quickly once contacted to go over any needs. The location seems remote but there is a short journey to the main roads and the local town has a good pub/Bistro for food and local supermarket. It is central to Knock, Claremorris, Westport and Charlestown where the Ireland West (Knock) is located. The journey from the airport to the Cottage is around 20minutes and the owner can be contacted if you get lost. If we are I the area again I will use the cottage again.

- Mr Johnson, June 2018
“Geraldine was an excellent host who made us feel welcome and comfortable in our stay.”

The cottage was well located with great views from the garden. The cottage is ideally situated for touring County Mayo

- Dr Whitmore, May 2018
“The Golden Acres was perfect.”

The owners were bet nice and accommodating. I was there during the surprise hurricane Ophelia. They cane to check on me, and bring me a thermos of hot water for tea, and candles. If I come back to the area I will for sure rent this location again .

- Miss Scott, October 2017
“Thanks to Geraldine for a wonderful stay.”

Nothing was too much trouble. She was so friendly and welcoming. It was a lovely touch to have bread and butter, tea and coffee and milk provided as we were very hungry when we arrived

The property

This is a lovely detached cottage, five miles from the village of Knock in County Mayo.

The cottage makes an excellent base for your Irish adventure as it is less than 20 minutes from Knock International Airport, allowing a group of friends or family to start their holiday straight away.

The accommodation is set all on the ground floor, with three comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom.

There is also a well-equipped kitchen where you can enjoy delicious home-cooked meals and prepare picnics for your next day out.

When you get home after a day spent exploring and sightseeing, take your boots off and sit back and relax in the sitting room in front of the warming stove.

You could also sit out in the garden and enjoy the sunshine with a well-earned drink, and watch your worries drift away on the breeze.

Knock itself is only a short drive away, and you can take a night off from cooking and visit the range of restaurants and pubs.

While here, visiting the world-renowned shrine is a must, and why not hop on your bike and go for a ride to enjoy the countryside views?

Under an hour away are both Castlebar and the lively harbour town of Westport.

Slightly further afield, you can hike up Croagh Patrick mountain if you’re feeling adventurous, or relax and drive along the popular Wild Atlantic Way where you can take in stunning views.

This is a delightful cottage, in an ideal location for you to start your holiday as soon as you arrive.
