“The owner Paddy Costello is very helpful and the view from the Cottage is amazing.”

“Lovely vacation”

Church View cottage is conveniently located, with Newport town centre within easy walking distance and just off the Great Western Greenway, but still very quiet and secluded – ideal to explore the area far and wide (with Achill Island, certainly one of Ireland's most beautiful spots, close by), and also for simply relaxing and taking a breather, especially in the beautiful garden with the mountain vista. The cottage itself offers everything you need and is well kept by its very affable owner, who adds a very personal touch to his beautiful house to make his guests feel welcome. The beds (one queen-size in one room, two singles in the other) are very comfortable and there's plenty of storage available in both bedrooms.

“Fantastic”

Spent a week here in May. The description did not do it justice. The views across the valley towards the mountains is fantastic. The cottage had everything we needed and was ideally situated for touring the area. The Greenway is on the doorstep so ideal for cyclists/walkers. Will definitely coming back next year.

“Beautiful cottage”

This is the perfect small cottage - immaculately presented and with personal attention from its owner Paddy Costello, himself something of a local legend. A short walk to the pubs, cafes and good shops of Newport, which is largely unspoiled by tourism but is a short drive from the great tourist sites of the area, such as Achill Island and Croagh Patrick. We particularly enjoyed the Ballycroy national park - admittedly helped by lovely weather! Don't miss the Harry Clarke stained glass windows in the Newport RC church.

Mr Marti June 2019

“Church view-Cottage in Newport is a very good place for a lot of activities.”

Biking and hiking is possible in the nearby area. Bike hire in town, good maintained bikes and shuttle service to Achill Island. As we were travelling without a car, these possibilities were important for us. Nice view to the mountains, pleasant garden, close to the town. The host likes to meet the guests and is interested in their convenience.

“VERY CLEAN & COMFORTABLE HOME, SITUATED AT THE TOP OF A LOVELY VALLEY WITH A VIEW OF HORSES AND SHEEP & THE NEPHIN BEG MOUNTAIN RANGE FROM THE WELL EQUIPPED KITCHEN & A BEDROOM.”

A VIEW TOWARDS TOWN FROM THE OTHER BEDROOM & THE LOUNGE. VERY HOMELY DECORATED & MODERN BATH. MY HUSBAND WALKED INTO TOWN EACH DAY. IT WAS VERY PRETTY. PADDY CAME & TOOK MY HUSBAND FOR COFFEE IN TOWN. WE HAD GOOD LAMB FROM THE BUTCHER. WE TOOK PICNICS ON DAY TRIPS TO BURRISHOOLE ABBEY, WHERE I SKETCHED, WHILE HE HIKED, TO MULLRANNY TO HIKE, TO KEEL BEACH, ACHILL ISLAND (BOUGHT MORE LAMB), KEEM BEACH, BALLYCROY NATIONAL PARK, CROUGH PATRICK & THE NATIONAL FAMINE MEMORIAL. BACK TO CHURCH VIEW TO COOK, RELAX, WATCH TV AND PLAY CANASTA. THE FISH & CHIPS FROM THE FOOD TRUCK WAS GREAT.

“Lovely convenient cottage”

Very conveniently placed for Newport and surrounding area. Cottage is well equipped, warm and welcoming. Very friendly owner who will welcome you to visit Ashford Castle as well. Quiet situation off the main road but walkable into Newport. Perfect if you want to explore north mayo or fish the many fisheries in the area. Shed outside is perfect for wet gear. Lots of nice places to eat locally from brilliant fish and chips to gourmet dinners at Newport House. Great music in town at Grauine Uaile.

“Church View cottage was ideally situated in Newport for sightseeing on the West coast of Ireland.”

- Mrs Pope, June 2018
Mr Cottrell June 2018

“The cottage was first class.”

It had all the facilities one could want and was very comfortable. The location was very peaceful and the views were great. The town was within easy walking distance - about 12 to 15 minutes depending on your pace. We had some difficulty in finding the cottage as it was just out of town and and off road. We contacted the tourist office which was very helpful and gave us fail-safe directions. More explicit instructions for locating the cottage would be very helpful and a couple of strategically placed directional signs would be great. Overall we enjoyed our holiday in Newport and felt quite at home in the cottage. If we visit the area again we would be very content to rent the cottage again.

- Mr Cottrell, June 2018
Mr Edwards June 2018

“The owner, Paddy Costello, was extremely helpful and provided a welcome pack including a large bowl of fruit.”

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Paddy also recommended places to visit. The location was perfect for cycling the Great Western Greenway and cycle loops around County Mayo.

“Review of Church View Newport CoMayo”

We visited for two weeks in April 2018, the cottage is in a nice quiet area just outside of Newport town, it is clean, has two TV sets which have free view satellite and local channels via terrestrial tv, but tbh tv is the last thing on your mind as you are surrounded by great scenery, Mountains etc, we tended to use Nevins for the odd meals, but the food was muuuum fantastic, served by great friendly people try it yourself, There are other eateries and places for a tea or coffee in Newport, they have a reasonably good supermarket there,Bridgeport has several of the biggersuper markets. But the people you will find are so friendly and helpful, Paddy who owns the cottage came from Galway to a couple of meetings, and afterward we met up with him and he took us for a coffee, he is a very very nice guy,a character he would say, Just get out and explore you will find your own special places, and memories , you must catch the chip van which comes twice a week, don’t ask for large cod it’s enormous it really is. If you get a chance visit Parade in George’s street Newport, they do a nice Tea and Coffee plus cake,also gifts, art well all sorts, and the lady is very nice and helpful, plus you pickup all the gossip, we really enjoyed our tie at Paddies place, Church View,we hope to go again soon.

“Home from home”

Wonderful cottage in a lovely location. The cottage is well equipped and warm. Plenty of hot water and lovely log burner for those cold evenings. Plenty of outside space. The kitchen is well equipped if I was being really picky it's lacking a decent sharp knife! Paddy makes you feel very welcome. Newport itself is great plenty of pubs and shops within walking distance and lots of great places to visit in a short distance.

- WalsallEddy, April 2018
Ms Rogers April 2018

“This cottage was delightful with great views and total privacy.”

It was comfortable and homely. Also only a short walk into the small town. We had an excellent holiday here and our host could not have done more to help.

- Ms Rogers, April 2018
Mr Lark September 2017

“Our host, Paddy went out of his way to make my stay special and personal.”

His warm and engaging manner made my stay feel more like a visit to a friend's home than a rental property. He goes way beyond what one comes to expect from a similar experience. The cottage is well appointed and everything functions properly. The house is warm, cozy, quiet and clean. The views are splendid and the location was ideal for my purposes. I can say many more positive things and I cannot think of anything negative to say. I would return in a heartbeat and would recommend this cottage to anyone I know.

- Mr Lark, September 2017
Mrs Wright September 2017

“Church View was 10 minutes walk from Newport in County Mayo.”

This made it an excellent location for sight-seeing, walking and cycling. The cottage was a one-storey bungalow - warm, clean with excellent equipment, private parking outside on the large surfaced area within a lovely garden. It was well-decorated with comfortable beds, furniture etc. Beautiful mountain views from the windows and lots of places to visit. We went primarily to hike the countryside and the maps, leaflets provided by the owner were very helpful. There were also lots of historic sites to visit and we managed one or two (a week wasn't really long enough).Achill Island is only a short drive away with lots of paths, places to explore. We had a great week in a lovely place.

- Mrs Wright, September 2017
Mrs Dance September 2017

“Great little cottage.”

Owner was very helpful leaving us lots of information.

Mrs Burke August 2017

“Wonderful holiday, super cottage, excellent facilities, loved the privacy and amazing scenery.”

Location a big plus also. Will definitely recommend.

Kranitzky June 2017

“After spending two wonderful weeks in this well-equipped and very cosy cottage we would like to confirm that our expectations were exceeded by far.”

This holiday home is an ideal starting point to go to Achill Island, Doohoma, Carrowteige (exciting cliff view) and Down Patrick Head. But also to go to the south to Doolough Valley, Croagh Patrick and Kylemore Abbey, to name a few. We highly recommend taking a trip to Lough Corrib, making a visit to Ashford Castle and enjoying the interesting boat tour to Inchagoill island. In the end we sadly had to say goodbye to Mayo. This won't be our last visit to this beautiful country!

- Kranitzky, June 2017
Mrs Regan June 2017

“Great cottage in good location with lovely views.”

Paddy added a personal touch with a welcome pack and phone call to make sure all was well.

Ms Coon May 2017

“The property was nicely located, but not labeled (no sign indicating "Church View").”

Directions given by property owner were very good (I like using landmarks!!!) Very clean and comfortable, nice to have some basics at hand on arrival (coffee, tea, milk, butter & bread). Enjoyed visiting with the horses and the sheep & lambs at the bottom of the hill, and watching the elusive magpies, who were very camera shy! Neighbors were friendly, neighborhood quiet, garden beautiful, and view of the mountains and hills out the back were refreshing to the soul. The town is lovely, many good options for dining or enjoying a coffee. Highly recommend the "proper fish & chips" from the Blue Dolphin food truck behind the gas station! The only thing that kept it from being absolutely perfect was the clothes washer didn't work. (Just an inconvenience, as we packed light for travel from USA). As far as the booking process with Sykes, thank you for working with me when my banks' fraud protection protected! I would definitely consider this property again, as well as using Sykes!!!

“It is so convenient to local amenities and a very safe and scenic cycle path.”

Ms Young November 2016

“I have already put a review on trip advisor for this property that's how highly I recommend it.”

We live in a village, so having the use of this cottage for our base to tour this area was ideal. We like peace and quiet, venturing into the town when we need to. The property was in an ideal location up a lane with around 5 other properties. It was nice, you had views of hills not someone else's property. You still felt part of a community. The property had everything you would require for day to day living, it didn't feel like a holiday let. It was cosy and warm. It is in an ideal location with the town of Newport within walking distance, around a mile away. Westport is 7 miles, a nice quiet drive. We ventured into Galway and went to Achill Island. Knock Airport is just under 1 hour away and is also a nice unhurried drive away. Its a totally gentle place and you feel the calm and serenity when you enter the cottage. We could in fact live there.

- Ms Young, November 2016
Mrs Sharry July 2016

“We really liked the Church View Cottage, it was rather small, but very cosy and standard was very high.”

We loved being able to walk into Newport in 10 minutes and there were plenty of nice restaurants and things to do. The water splash activities on the river in the late afternoon/early summer evenings were great fun for the kids. Our host was very keen that we enjoy our stay and gave us plenty of recommendations on were to eat and things to do!

The property

Newport 0.8 miles.

A lovely detached character cottage on the outskirts of Newport, County Mayo.

Nestled in beautiful countryside, yet only ten minutes’ walk to the town, this cosy cottage offers two bedrooms and comfortable living accommodation to come home to after a busy day exploring everything this area has to offer.

Throw another log on the stove, sit back and relax, and recount your adventures of the day.

With a fitted kitchen offering a space to dine, you can rustle up a hearty breakfast whilst you spread out your maps and plot your next expedition!

Newport is a beautiful heritage town, stunningly located on the shores of Clew Bay.

Whether your idea of the perfect break is action-packed days of fishing, walking and cycling, or a more leisurely wander round a town steeped in history, Newport is the perfect base for a holiday in the west of Ireland.

County Mayo has some wonderful cycle routes to choose from.

Escape the bustle of urban life on the Great Western Greenway, the longest off road walking and cycling trail in Ireland; the Greenway follows Ireland’s Atlantic coast between Westport town and Achill Island and visits the picturesque villages of Newport and Mulranny.

For a family day out, you can’t beat a trip to the beach, and County Mayo has the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in the country, from small sheltered coves to stretches of sand – further than the eye can see.

Renowned for its excellent fishing, Newport offers something for everyone, whatever your level of expertise.

We have sea angling in the bountiful waters of Clew Bay, while Newport River and Beltra Lake are regarded as some of the best freshwater fishing grounds in Europe.

A stay in Newport just wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of our traditional pubs.

Find a cosy corner and make yourself at home – enjoy the traditional music still thriving here, or simply savour the perfect pint, poured by a friendly local barman.

Take some time to discover Castlebar, Westport, Croagh Patrick Mountain and Achill Island, which are all well worth visiting.

A beautiful country cottage for your Irish adventure which will live long in the memory.
