“A fabulous comfy home and lovely friendly owner!”

Everything we needed to make our holiday enjoyable! Very private and secluded! We highly recommend this as a place to stay!
Mr Fisher July 2019

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

Very clean and comfortable. Would book again.
Mrs Nuar 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.
Mr Smith May 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.
Mrs Hughes February 2019

“Well equipped cottage and Geraldine is lovely !”

Would highly recommend !

“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.
Mr Symynkywicz October 2018

“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.
Mrs Carroll August 2018

“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
Mr Johnson June 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.

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

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.
