Cloonkee Cottage

Surrounded by fields this bungalow, maintained to a high standard, offered everything for a happy stay.

Centrally placed for exploring County Mayo and beyond. RTE Lyric on radio enhanced relaxation. Central heating and a stove kept the evening chill at bay. We would recommend Cloonkee Cottage without reservation. Many thanks to hosts Mary and Michael.

Michael and Mary are marvellous hosts the warm welcome and home made scones on arrival were greatly appreciated.

We had a minor problem with one of the sinks and Michael came out straight away and fixed the problem. All in all this is a wonderful property and well placed got anyone wishing explore the west of Ireland.

A really beautiful and spacious cottage , one of the nicest we have ever stayed in …we were greeted with fresh scones and jam !

It’s a lovely place with a view of Nephin, so much to see locally and spoilt for places of natural beauty and heritage (there’s lots of information available in the cottage) You could not have nicer hosts and we would definitely stay there again.

We were blown away by Cloonkee Cottage.

The facilities were top notch. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make our meals. The peat stove worked very well with a plentiful supply of peat in the nearby shed. The rooms were well lighted both by natural sunlight and the lighting fixtures. We appreciated the sitting room for quiet reading. The furniture throughout the cottage was very comfortable. The beds were all very comfortable with wonderful duvets, great pillows and extra blankets. Both bathrooms with power showers were in great condition. We appreciated the washer and tumble dryer in the utility. The operating manuals for all the appliances were provided with the welcome book. I appreciated the thoughtfulness of the information about the area and the manuals. The owners Mary and Michael welcomed us upon our rival with a fire in the stove fire already burning and wonderful homemade scones, Mary's jam, butter and milk. Mary and Michael were only a message away to answer any questions. They were not intrusive but readily available. We will return for another stay at the cottage if we return to Co Mayo in the future. This cottage and the owners deserve 5+ stars!

Such a cosy, comfortable cottage, we had a lovely stay for our few days.

The cottage was very accommodating for our children too with highchair and cot provided! Mary and Michael are wonderful hosts and have the cottage equipped with everything you could need.

We stayed at Clonkee for 5 nights and had such a lovely time.

The cottage is very well equipped with a number of books and some games. The beds were super comfy and we just felt so relaxed. Only 20 mins away was Enniscrone beach which has free parking, toilets, a kids arcade, a play area and beautiful sand. We also went to Westport harbour and The Museum of Ireland in Castlebar was amazing! A totally free day out with a fabulous collection of historical artefacts, a gorgeous lake to walk around and into the woods you'll find a playground to keep the kids busy. It also has a wonderful bookshop and cafe with wonderful fresh food, drinks and ice cream. Mary and Michael were such amazing hosts and we arrived to the cottage with fresh scones, butter, milk and jam! They were so inviting, giving us tips if where to visit and making us feel welcome should we need anything. The cottage has a beautiful wrap around garden with apple trees which our kids loved. The grass was lush and plenty of running around was had. In the evening you can sit out and look at the cattle in the opposite field and if you're lucky you'll get to witness a parade of cows being walked down the road at dusk! Simply fabulous holiday and we really hope to return!

Beautiful cottage, spacious, extremely clean and everything you might need is at hand.

Lots of space outside and our Grandson loved the cows and the horses next door. We would highly recommend this cottage. It is central to both Ballina and Crossmolina and surrounding areas. Mary and Michael the owners are true gems. Couldn't do enough for us. Their kindness and consideration for us was so comforting and so much appreciated. We thank you both for everything. appreciated. We thank you both

Mary and Michael were wonderful hosts.

They have created a heavenly place to feel at home in their cottage. Both were incredibly helpful and approachable. It was great to talk to them and they even had scones to welcome us. We thank them both very much for the perfect time we had at their cottage. German Text (original): Mary und Michael waren ganz wundervolle Gastgeber. Sie haben mit ihrem Cottage einen traumhaften Ort zum Wohlfühlen geschaffen. Beide waren unglaublich hilfsbereit und ansprechbar. Es war toll, sich mit ihnen zu unterhalten und es gab sogar Scones zur Begrüßung. Wir danken beiden sehr für die perfekte Zeit, die wir in ihrem Cottage verbringen durften.

This was our 3rd time staying at Cloonkee cottage.

It has everything we need and is in the perfect setting. The owners are always on hand if you need anything. We hope to return.

This is a beautiful property and area.

We were made to feel so welcome by Mary and Michael, their hospitality was very genuine. Michael was able to give us useful information about the locality. There were home made scones and jam waiting for us and logs and peat had we needed a fire.The cottage was immaculate and comfortable and we felt very much at home. The bedrooms were spacious and well equipped. Lots to see locally and within a doable drive. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage..

House was exceptionally clean and the owners very helpful, it was the nicest house we have stayed in and would recommend it.

Your photos of Cloonkee cottage don’t really do it justice, it is a lot bigger than they suggest.

It is a wonderful place, very well equipped with everything you need, and more! Mary & Michael are fantastic hosts, living just up the road should you need them, other than that the place is totally yours during your stay and is very much ‘home from home’

Cloonkee Cottage was immaculate clean and the beds were so comfortable, the cottage was very well equipped for our stay, Mary and Michael are lovely and very welcoming, Mary left us beautiful homemade scones, butter and jam on arrival and even a little jug of milk in the fridge so very thoughtful.

Michael has great knowledge of places to visit, they are both there if needed however give you great privacy during your stay, the garden is beautiful to sit out on a nice evening very well maintained, a beautiful peaceful cottage only a short drive from Ballina Town Centre also a great base to visit Mayo and Croagh Patrick. Great visit beautiful memories made. Would will definitely stay again.

We would like to thank Mary and Michael for a lovely stay in their cottage.

Everything was spotlessly clean and tidy, and was fully equipt with everything you can think of. The cottage is only 10 minutes from Ballina but in a very rural setting making it lovely and quiet. They also lit the peat fire for us before we arrived as it was very cold Would definately stay there again and reccomend it to others.

The 5* rating says it all!

Clean and comfortable, well equipped and more spacious than it would appear from the photos. It suited our family of 2+3 perfectly. The cottage is in a good location, convenient to the town of Ballina which itself is worth spending time in but also perfect for exploring Mayo. It was our first time in the area and we really enjoyed it. Thanks to the owners Michael and Mary who were very welcoming, and gave us lots of useful suggestions for places to visit. Thank you!

Excellent cottage.

Very comfortable. Caring and attentive hosts. Ideal base for exploring North Mayo. All of which leads us to looking forward to a return visit.

Just home from a great wk at the cottage.

it is a beautiful cottage.very clean ,plenty of room and well equipped.everything was perfect .mary and michael are very helpful and friendly,definitely would recommend and will be bk.

Mary and Michael couldn't have been more friendly, attentive and helpful.

The house was spotless, beautifully decorated and in a great location for exploring North Mayo.

A fantastic cottage with all the facilities one could wish for.

A perfect place, to use as a base, to visit all the wonderful places that Mayo and neighbouring counties, have to offer. We were met with a warm welcome and offered some local areas to visit. This help continued for our stay and was welcomed. If someone is looking for a place to stay, that is homely, well positioned, well maintained and cared for, look no further. The acid test is, would we come back? The answer is, without a shadow of a doubt!

This is second time we have stayed here and it’s just perfect location for us visiting friends and family.

We would definitely stay here again when back in mayo thank you

Very comfortable stay, perfect for a holiday in north Mayo.

Remote area but with plenty available by car. House was lovely and made feel very welcome by the owners.

We had a lovely week at cottage, the scones and jam went down very well with a cup of tea after a fairly long drive .

Michael and Mary were very welcoming and friendly Co Mayo is lovely place and Cloonkee was a great cottage to explore it from .Would recommend this cottage to anyone

Charming owners who were very helpful.

Lovely comfy cottage, comfy beds, good heating, excellent facilities. One of the best cottages we have stayed in. A real credit to Hogans Cottages. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

A great place, nice cottage right in the middle of north mayo.

Perfect to explore the north-west. A special,Thanx, to Mary and Michael! They go above and beyond for there guests! Highly recommend the place!!!

We all had a wonderful time at Cloonkee Cottage, welcomed with scones and jam yum.

The cottage has all required facilities for a relaxing stay. Michael and Mary made us feel very welcome and we can highly recommend a stay here.

This was our 2nd time at Cloonkee Cottage.

The owners Mary and Michael were very friendly and welcoming and the freshly made scones were a treat after our journey. The cottage is clean and well equipped and is in a perfect setting for travelling around the West of Ireland or just staying put and taking in the beautiful view of Nephin. We highly recommend it.

Again a wonderful Christmas stay at Cloonkee Cottage very comfortable with lovely decorations .

Thank you to Mary and Michael who went all out to make our stay very pleasant

Cloonkee Cottage …Spotless,very comfortable beds,the kitchen lacks nothing,loved the stove ,made the evenings very cosy ,a very rural area that is so peaceful,but still only 10 minutes from Ballina,which has all we needed I

The cottage was beautiful.

Very clean with modern facilities. We particularly enjoyed the large living / kitchen space with the stove. There was also plenty of safe enclosed space outside for our kids. The location was great also, a short drive from Ballina and a great base for exploring Northern Mayo.

Beautiful cottage, bigger than expected and everything you can think of included.

Only ten minutes drive to Ballina but a lovely peaceful spot equally. Mary and Michael were both really welcoming and I found myself calling it 'home' after only one day!

We had an excellent holiday at Cloonkee cottage, it was really clean and comfortable and Mary and Michael were so friendly and helpful.

We definitely recommend the holiday cottage. We will definitely stay there again if we visit County Mayo in the future.

Mary and Michael were great hosts and made us very welcome.

There are many interesting places to visit. Our 2 dogs also enjoyed the space and countryside There were plenty of shops in Ballina and Crossmolina for our needs. We would not have any hesitation in recommending this home from home Pat and Dee

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage.

Room layout was perfect for us. The host was accessible and friendly.

We had a lovely time Michael and Mary were great.

Lovely scones upon arrival. Excellent tips where we can go visit and useful information like some of the Dublin GAA PLAYERS have relatives from the area. 10 out of 10.

The cottage was lovely and spotless clean.

It had everything we needed and a lovely welcome pack for arrival. The owners Michael and Mary were very helpful and attentive. We will definitely be rebooking for the future .

Cloonkee Cottage exceeded our expectations in every way .

Mary and Michael were so friendly and helpful and the welcome pack of ,bread,jam and butter was lovely . When we arrived we were met by Michael who showed us around. The cottage was immaculate with everything you could possibly need . The stove was lit and it was warm and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though it was in lockdown,the nearby beaches provided us and our dogs with great walks. We would love to return and would recommend our friends and family to visit without hesitation.

Cottage is quite excellent.

Owners had really thought about needs of guests travelling a distance, things like milk, butter, salt, pepper, cooking oil and cleaning items like washing up liquid provided, and went extra mile with fresh wheaten bread and home made jam. The cottage was spotless, bright, airy,warm and comfortable in every way which we appreciated even more as weather was not great and we spent quite a bit of time in. Easy to find as per directions, small town of Crossmolina 5 mins drive away has a Centra store which meets all needs (and a lovely coffee shop, the Old Post Office!) Well located for travelling around Co Mayo. Thanks Michael and Mary!

This is a beautiful cottage set in lovely surroundings and perfectly situated for travelling around this beautiful part of Ireland.

The owner was lovely and we were greeted with fresh home made scones and jam. The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed and more. We would highly recommend it and wouldn’t hesitate to book it again.

Clonkee Cottage is a lovely warm and comfortable place.

We didn't have the best of the weather but enjoyed the local towns and the area is very beautiful. The owners here were extremely hospitable and helpful. We left a couple of suggestions to make the experience better - like getting a freeview tv instead of the very basic Irish Tv and also perhaps an upgrade on the tired suite in the lounge. Having said that, we had our 2 dogs with us and the garden is pretty well fenced for security so peace of mind is what we look for in a cottage holiday and that we got. Good water pressure and excellent central heating - a must for a winter break. We would recommend the cottage to others.

Our week at Cloonkee Cottage was perfect.

We visited with our two daughters, 18 & 20, as well as our dog and we all felt at home from the start.The cottage is well positioned to visit all of Mayo’s main attractions, but also in a very peaceful location. The cottage is very well equipped, with everything you need for a comfortable stay and there’s enough peat to keep you warm for a year. Our visit coincided with the owners being away on holiday, but we were very well looked after by their son Enda, who made us feel very welcome. We would definitely stay in this location again.

Clonkee cottage is simply beautiful and the views of nephin are spectacular.

Awesome base for travelling out to ballina,ballycastle,Downpatrick head, enniscrone,easily,achill,Westport and lots more. Our hosts Mary,Michael and enda made us feel so comfortable and very at home.Nothing was too much trouble.Had everything we needed.Extremely comfortable beds, extremely clean house and beautiful garden with picnic table,umbrella and seating.Delicious homemade scones & jam on arrival.Even had a picnic freezer box,cling film tin foil,bags and blanket to use.

Stunning quiet room with lots of books and an open fire to relax in.loved everything.serene comfort in a country setting,only a 5 min drive to crossmolina with shops,bars and takeaways. 5 stars all the way!!

It was better than expected!

The cottage is truly a home away from home.

Great location, friendly owners, unexpected extras (fresh home baked scones and jam, fresh flowers etc).

Beautiful well appointed cottage, exceeding any we've been to previously.
