A cosy, 3 bedroom traditional stone cottage in Cregganbaun, a beautiful part of rural Mayo in the west of Ireland. Located between the villages of Louisburgh (Co. Mayo) and Leenane (Co. Galway).
Heading south, it's 'a stones throw' from the renowned scenic route through Doolough and Delphi into Connemara. Head north through Louisburgh, past Croagh Patrick into Westport, onto Achill Island and North Mayo.
Two miles to the nearest beach, and many more sand/surf/rock pools/sailing beaches all within 20 minutes drive.
