  • "A fantastic family house for 8 of us to celebrate a Family Gathering of 120 relatives in Belmullet, in this beautiful part of Mayo."

    Our grandchildren (aged 6 and 7) had a fabulous time exploring as many secluded beaches as they could find, and completing walks such as the Erris Head Loop, climbing Croagh Patrick and visiting ancient sites, castles and Abbeys. There's lots of space in this beautiful and well-maintained house for everyone to enjoy the amenities, and the views over Broadhaven Bay. The hosts, Loretta and Paddy have been so friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed her warm scones and home-made jam and cream. Loads of fun, laughter and the craic! Thank you so much - we hope to return.

    That’s so much for great review.Im delighted you all enjoyed your stay and would be delighted to have you back at anytime.Thanks so much. Property Owner

  • "This is excellent accommodation."

    The beds are very comfortable and everything is spotless and very clean and well stocked with everything. It is a home from home accommodation. The house is very warm making it excellent for winter or off season holiday. Loretta the owner is very friendly and caring. She asked us if we wanted anything in the shops before we arrived and when we opened the door there was a fridge stocked with basics for a cup of tea and biscuits left on the table. 10 out of 10 for this accommodation at all levels.

  • "We spent an enjoyable week at McGuire's Cottage."

    It is a very spacious property, which was perfect for our extended family group to share. The kitchen is very well equipped and the numerous en suite bathrooms were much appreciated. There are good views out to the coast and mountains. I hadn't appreciated when booking that the location was quite so remote. There are many lovely places to visit by car, but it is not a property that you can walk from. The owners are very helpful and we all enjoyed the delicious scones baked by Loretta.

The property

Travel to the north west corner of County Mayo to where beautiful Broadhaven Bay cuts a deep channel inland and you will find Barnatra.

It is here, in a tiny hamlet, nestled between mighty Carrowmore Lake and the Atlantic ocean, you will arrive at McGuire's Cottage.

Perched on an elevated site with magnificent sea views, this spacious cottage will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Boasting 5 double bedrooms, all ensuite, this County Mayo cottage is ideal for families, groups of friends looking for a peaceful break in the great outdoors.

A large fitted kitchen with island and dining area offers the perfect location to enjoy a family meal or choose to dine in the separate dining room leading into the adjoining sunroom, with ocean views.

Retire with a glass of wine to the comfortable sitting room with open fire and plan the next days endeavors.

Outside the cottage, the sea and mountain views are remarkable.

There are many local attractions to savour during your stay.

Travel west to Belmullet town, an oasis in the west and on to Mullet Peninsula with its golf links, wonderful treks and trails and watersports.

Visit Claggan Island, reached by a narrow causeway, with its golden sands.

Motor south through Ballycroy National Park and arrive at beautiful Mulranny.

Here you may join the Greenway, a walking and cycling track that runs from Castlebar town to stunning Achill Island.

A visit to The Ceide Fields at nearby Ballycastle is a must, where neolithic landscapes and a visitor centre highlight the trials and tribulations of past generations.

Travel the dramatic northern coast of County Mayo with wonderful sea cliffs and sea stacks at Downpatrick Head and arrive in the Quaint little town of Killala.

Return to McGuire's cottage in the evenings, kick off the shoes and relax.

This is a wonderful base to explore this stunning part of County Mayo.
