Kate's Cottage

Lovely location brilliant space lovely people

Once again we had a wonderful stay at Kate's cottage the owners are very attentive and helpful with a plentiful supply of fuel on hand,the property is spotlessly clean and everything you need is supplied Frank & Patricia and Oscar the dog

From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome, with a fire lit in the dining room, as it was a very cold day.

We were given a thorough walkthrough of where everything was and the heating etc. A very comfortable bed in the master bedroom. Would definitely book again the next tine we are in the area.

WOW KATES COTTAGE is gorgeous, definitely want to stay again.

we picked the wettest February week to visit, but loved coming home each day. Beautifully warm, comfy rooms, well fitted kitchen that suited us. Tastefully decorated bedrooms and a relaxing sitting room with games, books and huge TV. Relaxing listening to sheep and cows. Caroline is a great host who had to rescue us when we couldn't find the house in the dark.we were welcomed with homemade scones, stocked fridge and wine. Thank you again

Kate’s Cottage and all it provided enabled us to enjoy our two week stay to the full in spite of the rain.

If our circumstances permitted, we would be glad to return often.

It was an amazing stay!

We had such a warm and friendly greeting when we arrived, the fire was lit, table was set and there was beautiful scones on the table, perfect since we got in late. Caroline was very friendly and helpful, always making sure we had everything we needed. Could not fault the place in any way, it was beautifully maintained and super cosy. Myself and my family loved staying there and would definitely love to return.

The cottage was beautiful, as was the location.

Everything we needed was there and it was so well equipped, we even had fresh scones with jam on arrival and a bottle of wine in the fridge, such a thoughtful gesture. We enjoyed complete peace and quiet for a week and Caroline and Jerry were nearby if we needed anything - excellent hosts! We would definitely recommend Kate’s Cottage.

Beautiful little cottage.

But not for Winter time. Sitting room very damp. We lit fire in it . Made it nice and cosy. Needed heating on to air other rooms. Bathroom needs a good face-lift.

Had a great time, cottage was perfect, everyone was accommodating and helpful

Loved the cottage and very friendly hosts.

Lovely house, well furnished and well equipped.

Nice quiet road, great surroundings near a working farm, lovely views of sheep and cattle grazing with Nephin mountain in the background. Lots of wildlife, loads of Swallows and even some Jay. Super location, close to Ballina and Crossmolina and loads of beaches, woods, bogs, mountains, rivers, lakes and archaeology within a short drive.

A warm welcome & lovely clean home - we all really enjoyed our stay at Kates Cottage

A lovely bright, warm, homely property with great facilities, beautiful views and a welcoming host.

I thoroughly enjoyed my week at Kate's cottage and as a solo female traveller it felt perfectly private but with support on hand if I needed anything. Great walks from the door with my dog and an easy drive from the property to so many gorgeous places in this wonderful corner of Ireland.

We had an amazing stay it was extremely clean and in a great location, We loved the scones and Caroline was very friendly, We will definitely be back.

Had a fantastic week, hosts lovely, house was as described warm and comfortable.

Loads of space. Everything was perfect and everything you need was provided. Loved the scones and jam. We would definitely stay here again.

A lovely property in the heart of a wonderful area.

The cottage is clean, comfortable and cosy. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely return here and recommend this.

Kate’s cottage was very good Caroline meet us at the cottage the cottage was spotless there were scones butter and milk and wine left for us which was a nice gesture everything was there which you needed down to plenty of peat for the fires if required the rooms were very clean I would recommend Kate’s cottage I will be back again Thanks to Caroline and Gerard

Absolutely gorgeous stay.

Lovely location very tranquil and relaxing. Wonderful hosts so friendly and had fresh scones and bottle of wine waiting for us! Will definitely stay again :-)

Very friendly and helpful property owners.

We had a problem and it was solved immediately. The served scones as welcome were very delicious. From this location you can reach many sight seeing and hiking points.

Very friendly and welcoming host.

Clean property. We'll equipped kitchen. Very comfortable and beautiful views. Great location to explore this part of Ireland. And, pet friendly!

Beautiful property and location!

Loved our stay here! Thank you!

Excellent cottage spotlessly clean owners very helpfull would definitely stay again Thanks Frank

Very clean and comfortable, Caroline met us and explained everything.

We really enjoyed the turf fires,

Our stay at kates cottage was fantastic.

Our host met us at the house ,what a lovely lady, she had the stove lit,fresh scones made ,chocolates ,wine .outstanding hospitality. The cottage was absolutely gorgeous, everything we needed and more. We really cannot wait to go back and stay again.

What a place outstanding can’t praise it enough got a great welcome from owner who showed us around the cottage.

Fires were lit flowers left out table set for tea with fresh home made scones on the table. Plenty of turf daily provided to keep the fires going. Smart TVs dishwasher microwave oven fridge freezer this cottage had everything needed to relax unwind and enjoy the surrounding countryside and villages Ballina about 5k away and Crossmolina 4k. Would recommend this holiday cottage will definitely be back again thank you Caroline.for your hospitality had a great time there.

The cottage was just perfect and the welcome we received was just so lovely.

The fire was lit. There was a Christmas tree and Christmas lights. There was wine, milk and butter in the fridge and delicious homemade scones. My partner, who is French,was overwhelmed by the hospitality that he had never seen before! It was his first trip to Ireland. The cottage is so cosy and a beautiful balance between old fashioned and modernised. I would love to stay there again when I come to see my family in Ballina.

We had such a wonderful stay at Kate's Cottage.

Beautiful and warm with plenty of space. Owner's were really lovely and even brought us soup one night when the power went out in the area. Fresh scones on arrival and even a Christmas tree set up for our kids. Would definitely recommend.

Kate's cottage is absolutely beautiful.

It had everything anyone could possibly need for a week's holiday and more. We were made SO very welcome by the homeowner. Fresh flowers on the beautiful antique hall table were a lovely touch. Home baked scones were provided for us to have with a cuppa on our arrival. A warm fire was burning to keep off the first chills of Autumn and the house was toasty and cosy. The furniture and furnishings were of good quality. There were plenty of new towels and loo rolls in the bathroom along with a selection of toiletries in case we had forgotten ours. The bathroom/wetroom was perfect for myself. As an amputee , having the fold down shower seat was invaluable and really enhanced my stay. The beds were comfortable and we slept really well, better than we do at home! There was plenty of fuel provided daily for the open fire and log burner so we never had to worry about getting to the store to buy more. The cows and donkey were a lovely distraction for our animal loving 6yr old, who loved watching the cows playing together whilst eating her breakfast, then putting her wellies and raincoat on to run outside and talk to them over the fence. Overall this was possibly the best property that we have rented in Ireland and we have had many rental cottages over the past 20+ years.

We had a very comfortable stay in this charming cottage set in the lovely Irish countryside with sheep and cows as neighbours.

Caroline was very welcoming and showed us round the spacious rooms and provided many extras such as homemade scones, butter, jam, milk and even a bottle of wine. There was an ample supply of peat for the fire which we enjoyed on a couple of cool nights while watching the huge TV above the fireplace. We highly recommend this property and look forward to another visit in the near future.

Second stay at Kate's and wasn't disappointed again.

Discovered the wonderful River Deel and where to fish it and with Pontoon Bridge up the road and the Moy down the road more fishing adventures wait hopefully. Fully recommend Hiney's pub in Crossmolina for food and refreshments and returning to Kate's Cottage with turf provided for extra comfort was a real tonic for Fido and myself. So thanks again Katherine and family and hope to book again soon.

Found the host welcoming and helpful with scones on arrival and lit wood burner.

The house had ample, clean rooms which were very comfortable. Gardens and surrounding scenery were a treat and the location gives all the peace of country life with Crossmolina village nearby and Ballina city also at hand. The area offers great sport nearby with great rivers and loughs and the people are friendly and helpful. The turf fire in the evening with fuel provided was great and would like to finish by thanking Catherine and family for a very memorable holiday.

The cottage was lovely, the fire was on and we were greeted with fresh scones and tea by Caroline when we arrived, which was so welcoming.

Plenty of towels, comfortable beds, a supply of essential items in the larder and fridge. The cottage had everything we needed and the owners were next door incase we needed anything else. Quiet getaway, view of the mountain and easy reach of towns and tourist attractions. Hoping to visit again.

We received a warm welcome at this cottage from the owners and loved our stay, lovely friendly people.

This really is a great spot if you want a country getaway. Wonderful location. Warm, quiet and comfortable and plenty of free fuel for the fires. Scones and chilled white wine on arrival. Would rebook without hesitation. Many thanks again and hope to see you in the future.

Firstly the owners are very nice and welcoming and kept us provided with fuel for the stove.

I am so sorry to say that this was the worst cottage we have ever booked and we book many. While we understood that this cottage is very old and the furnishings etc reflect the age of the cottage there is no excuse for the lack of cleanliness. This property is in serious need of upgrade. The worst room is the bathroom. The toilet handle just spun round. The hose on the shower is caked in dirt and rust. The tiles on the wet room floor were dirty and still had hair from previous renters. The radiators are very dirty and years of fluff and dust inside. The light switches were greasy and dirty. There was fluff and hairs at the bedside cabinets. We were so disappointed that we cut our holiday short and went home. With a serious upgrade and deep cleaning this has the potential to be a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

We had an amazing holidays, the house is actually better than the pictures, what is a good surprise.

When we arrived in the house a scone and tea were waiting for us. At the end we decide to extend for one more day, we would definitely come back ❤️

Kate's cottage was an amazing place to stay with the meet and greet of a warm fire and the scones ready to eat.

The welcoming was amazing, and the cottage had everything we needed, which is hard for two teenage girls and a little dog. Honestly the grounds and the views were stunning I can't speak highly enough of this place and will be using it again. It was a great location, and the West of Ireland is stunning

Long, single track road to a beautiful cottage in the country, next to a farm.

Owner very nice, friendly and helpful. The delicious scones ans wine she left were very welcome.

th owners were very nice and helpful and decent with heating and fuel for the fire it is a nice house very clean bright comfortable and central to Ballina and others towns would recommend it as a great place to stay

Was disappointed that there was no TV in the living room and on the one in the bedroom I could only get You Tube.

The toilet seat was broken! The distance from the main road was not correct.

We had a brilliant stay at Kate’s cottage.

The cottage is well located in the countryside with a short drive into Ballina and not too far from Crossmolina also. Everything you need is there and Caroline & family have ensured a personal and homely touch. We stayed there for a week, with our young family, during the Ballina Salmon Festival- lots of activities in and around the town and great beaches are not too far away at Enniscrone and Ross Beach near Killala. A great stay and we look forward to heading back!

One of the best cottages we have stayed in, plenty of room, v clean, tidy, the owners v friendly, and were not stingy when it came to fuel (Peat) for fire, unlike many we have met.

Only drawback it's in the middle of a working farm, and is way out.in country , but local big town Ballina is not too far away. Would recommend it

impressive house.

I have been with my mother and my dog ​​since November in Ireland and without a doubt the best. very very clean and cozy, very spacious rooms and great kitchen. Apart from this, which is already great, the family welcomed us with some sweets and a bottle of wine. The views that we had from the table with umbrella that they have outside, are impressive. The owner was so kind that he made us witness the birth of three lambs. We will never forget it. We will definitely return, both for the owners who are charming and for the house, which is a 10.

The cottage is an absolute delight.

Everything is well thought out and there when needed. One of the things that I really liked were the prevalence of the 1960's features like the fireplaces. They really give the place huge charm. The location is really great and there is a lovely walk along the adjoining lane. It goes for miles. Also, there is great access to many of the attractions in County Mayo. I highly recommend the cottage and it will give you a great holiday.

Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful area.

The owners were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely book here again

This is a lovely cottage and third time have stayed in it.

The owners are kind and hospitable and put a lot of thought into little extras to make it a home from home. The directions to the cottage are spot on...if follow the clear and straightforward directions listed then there is no need to worry about satnavs or eircodes. The cottage is warm and comfortable with both central heating and logs supplied for the stove and open fire. There is a large garden area to sit out in when weather permits and the views are spectacular. If you want a quiet and comfortable place to stay which is slightly off the beaten track yet only a few minutes drive from the town, this is the place to go.

post code incorrect difficult to find cottage had to phone owner for directions

The cottage was perfect.

Locals & owners so friendly & helpful

We had a wonderful stay in Kate’s Cottage.

It is a charming cottage set down a quiet lane amongst a working farm. The hosts are very welcoming and made sure we had a memorable stay in Co Mayo, so much so that we are already planning our next visit.

This is a well equipped cottage at the end of a lane in the middle of an active farm.

The owners are all very friendly and the area is perfect as a base for walks and visits to the lakes and seashore of Mayo. I recommend it very highly.

Lovely cottage with everything you need down country lanes with easy access.

We found many hiking walks with amazing views and followed the wild Atlantic way to great sites, beaches and local history

Owners were very welcoming and didn't mind visitors calling as we have many relatives in the area.

The cottage was more spacious than we expected. It had a lovely warm cosy atmosphere. It is a very good location for accessing sites in North Mayo. Belmullet is approx 45 mins by car. Enniscrone is 20 mins. Location of cottage is very quiet and peaceful. Owner had fire on in range at our arrival. There was constant access to central heating and hot water. Beds were very comfortable. A very enjoyable stay.

This was my second stay at Kate's cottage.

It was just as comfortable as i remembered. The weather was colder this visit but there was plenty of turf provided for the range and there is a good central heating system with no regulations regarding timesof use. Bread and milk had again been provided and there were cleaning products and toiletries available too. The information sheet in the house is clear and detailed and the directions to the house on the website are spot on. Thanks again to the lovely, welcoming owners for another lovely visit.

The owners are very hospitable.

There were cakes and milk etc there when we arrived. If you like peace and quiet then this is the place for you. The scenery is lovely. It’s location is ideal for touring around the wild Atlantic coastline. Would recommend.

Spacious, comfortable, well equipped cottage.

In a very very quiet place. Ideal for a totally relaxing time out, which was what we needed. Next pub and shop 10 minutes by car in Crossmolina. The cottage is 3 miles from the main road - not one mile as indicated in the description. We nearly panicked when we couldn’t find it on the first day and the host didn’t answer the phone - only to be greeted by a lovely host lady who was worrying why we were so late and who had left scones and home made bread for us in the cottage. Thank you again!

Beautiful cottage in tranquil surroundings.

Owners couldn't be more kind or helpful. Lots of thoughtful touches within cottage to make it like a home from home. Basic toiletries and groceries were a welcome help on arrival. Complete peace and quiet yet only a 10 min drive from a fairly big town.

Lovely homely house- the owner had very kindly left some home baking and a fire on for our arrival.

Much appreciated, Lovely place to stay,
