“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
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 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 .
Mr Punwani August 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

Knock 0.9 miles.

A great detached country cottage close to the village of Knock in County Mayo.

This lovely cottage is less than 20 minutes' from Knock International Airport, and makes an excellent starting point for friends and family looking to start their Irish adventure and see what Ireland has to offer.

All set on the ground floor, this cottage has three comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom.

If you want to prepare a tasty meal or even put together a few packed lunches for the next day?s activities, you will have no trouble in the well-equipped kitchen.

Sit back and relax in the sitting room, after a long day of exploring and sightseeing, while everyone decides what the plans are for the next day?s adventure.

As the day draws on, why not sit outside this charming cottage to enjoy the sun and with a well-earned drink, making the most of your escape from everyday life?

From this delightful cottage, take a drive into Knock itself and visit the local craft shops, or sample the range of restaurants and pubs.

Go and visit the world-renowned shrine, which is visited by over one million people every year, or why not go for a stroll or cycle and take in the countryside?

You don?t have far to go to get to Castlebar or the lively harbour town of Westport which is just under an hour away.

A little bit further away, and you can hike up Croagh Patrick mountain or drive along the increasingly popular Wild Atlantic Way and take in some breathtaking sights.

A superb holiday cottage well located for you to start your Irish adventure and explore the west of Ireland!
