The Yellow House (II06251), Westport, Co. Mayo

Five pastel-painted bedrooms invite guests to enjoy a delightful stay filled with nights of rest and recuperation in western Ireland. This sizable County Mayo cottage lends itself wonderfully to larger groups of friends or extended family get-togethers, hosting a total of ten guests with ample shared and private spaces for use throughout your stay. It's set amid Mayo's exciting walking territory, surrounded by opportunities for hiking, biking and sightseeing amongst undisturbed countryside and along the dramatic coastline. Although remote, the town of Westport is just 4 miles from home offering local attractions, pubs and restaurants. Entirely spacious throughout, you'll never feel on top of one another when unwinding as a group in this ever-comfortable holiday home. Downstairs, a separate lounge, kitchen and dining room ensures there's more than enough room for preparing meals, dining together and relaxing on an evening, with French doors from the lounge offering direct access into the enclosed garden to take the party outside when the sun shines. Throughout periods of grey, drizzly weather, the lounge invites cosy evenings and a warm ambience with its wood burner and TV. Five bedrooms have been thoughtfully arranged with a variety of guests in mind, all positioned either on the ground or first floors. One callout is the family bedroom on the ground floor, a superb choice for those with kids. Nearby Westport is an exceptional heritage town on County Mayo's coast. It's a foodie haven with plenty of exceptional choices for dining out, perhaps after an afternoon at the regal Westport House (4.5 miles). Within view of the town, Croagh Patrick Mountain is less than 10 miles away and offers some of the most beautiful sights in Ireland. Just below it, Bertra Beach (11 miles) is just as awe-inspiring with its award-winning sands and vibrant birdlife.
