“A very nice cottage, very tidy and clean.”

We had a problem while we were there and the owners were very helpful in trying to rectify it. The kitchen was a bit small but useable, you can just fit four people at the table in there. Beds were nice and comfortable even weather behaved for a change. Loved being able to sit outside with a very nice table and chairs. Fridge/freezer in shed was a great help also has a washing line across the shed , so if weather is changeable you can sill get washing nearly dry. A very nic and peaceful ...

A very nic and peaceful cottages with main N17 not to far away so visiting places isn’t a problem.

“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.

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.

About the location

KNOCK, COUNTY MAYO

Claremorris 7 miles; Knock Airport 13 miles.

The quaint village of Knock is home to one of Europe’s most famous religious landmarks. The impressive Knock Shrine was apparently the location of an apparition in 1879. The site has such importance that John Paul II visited Knock Shrine himself to commemorate the centenary of the vision. The village now attracts over one million visitors a year and is just a short distance from Knock Airport. The area is surrounded by beautiful stretching countryside and is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, walkers and fishermen. There are many towns nearby including Castlebar and Westport with many events and festivals throughout the year.
