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.

Mrs Fleming, Huddersfield, September 2016
- “We have just returned from a lovely week at Golden Acres which served as our base for touring the west of Ireland. The cottage is lovely in every way and we could not find a single fault. It has recently been completely renovated and has the charm of a 100 yr old cottage combined with a lovely fresh feel due to its refurbishment. The garden is safe and enclosed allowing our 4 and 5 year old boys to run around with our 2 year old Rough Collie without the worry of them straying too far! The owners of the cottage were very warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We can't wait to return to this lovely cottage in beautiful Ireland.”
Mr Holland, SHEFFIELD, August 2016
- “The owner was very friendly. The cottage was very convenient for Knock and in a nice secluded position with good country side views but it was not too far from shops and other facilities.”
Mr Martin, ABERDEEN, July 2016
- “The property is very cosy with a beautiful wood burning stove, it has a homely feel. The owner was so welcoming and friendly. I hope to stay again in the future.”
Ms Mullan, COLERAINE, July 2016
- “A beautiful little place, very close to Knock and Ballyhaunis which are both well worth the visit. The landlady of the house was extremely helpful and thoughtful. The garden was lovely and ideal for anyone with young children. We will be sure to call for another visit.”
Mr Walsh, Enfield, July 2016
- “The owner of the cottage, took great pride in setting up her holiday home. First, everything sparkled with cleanliness. The furnishings were brand new and extremely comfortable. Second, the stove was a perfect touch in the living room. It was comforting to have the fire on in the evening. Third, the gardens and grounds are immaculate and safe. What a beautiful view of rolling fields and many shades of green! My four year old loved running about with a ball and will have forever memories of his time there. Fourth, the puzzles and DVDS provided were great entertainment and had something for each of us. Last, the owner was super friendly, easy to communicate with and most welcoming to our family. We definitely recommend this to all families.”
