This location was ideal for us and our dogs as we needed to escape the madness of fireworks over Halloween and enjoy a quiet countryside break. The property was clean and well cared for and had all the facilities we needed. The owner was always on hand to deal with any issues and it was the icing on the cake to have the company of their cats and ponies
I loved the Blue Cottage. Peaceful, calming and away from everywhere. It was exactly what I needed as I was recovering from 6 months of chemo.
Teddy, my male Lhasa Apso, fell in love with the white Shetland pony. He would run to her when he went out and lick her mouth. She wasn’t sure what to make of it at the beginning, but eventually joined in. So funny watching the pair of them. Sasha wasn’t so interested.
We had a slight problem the first night; the electricity went off, probably affected by the severe storm the day before. Sean very kindly brought me candles, wood and turf for the fire and make sure everything was okay. I felt very well looked after and certainly would recommend it to anyone else. I was sorry to leave.
Unfortunately this was a work trip so I didn’t get to explore the beautiful countryside as much as I would have liked but the cottage was absolutely beautiful. Really well equipped and comfortable. The owners Seán & Suzi were warm and welcoming. Great place to come back to after a hard days work but I would love to bring the family back for a wee holiday sometime. First class.
Lovely house exactly as seen and described. Very good hosts, had a folder full of information for things to do whilst you are staying there. Beautiful views of the night sky due to the rural location of the property.
voll ausgestattetes Ferienhaus, besonders die Küche lässt keine Wünsche offen;3 Kätzchen auf dem Grundstück wollten viel gestreichelt werden, unser Sohn im Teenageralter hatte seine Freude daran; Einziges Manko: Das Haus liegt sehr abgeschieden, ein Auto wird auf jeden Fall benötigt. Ein abendlicher Spaziergang in einen urigen Pub war nicht möglich; super nette und unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit Suzi und Sean; Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit in dem Ferienhaus.
From the moment my husband & I stepped inside this beautiful cosy cottage, we felt so at home. Our little boy & our dog both enjoyed their stay. We didn't want to leave.
We would love to come back & definitely stay for longer.
Sean & Suzi, have literally thought of everything.
Thank you both so much for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage.

Great place to stay, nice and quiet. Safe for kids & close to great shopping town.
The cottage is really nice, not too far from Claremorris (groceries, pharmacy and more).
We had a great stay with a really calm neighborhood! Beware of the cats, they ask for pets really often.
Also, the cottage has many nice things to visit around: beaches, museum, castles... and Sean and Suzi have put together a binder with great recommendations.
It was the best and nice place the host was so nice we had a great time. If we come back I'll stay there again. I recommend this place to anyone. So easy getting around
Thanks, we had a good time here. Everything to our satisfaction.

We absolutely loved our stay here, we were looking foward to a nice peaceful long weekend and this cottage provided just that. The kids loved having there own rooms as they usually have to share a room when we go away. My son had hours of enjoyment using the extra large box of lego to not only play with but also to do his stop motion videos. We did have the unfortunate inconvenience of car troubles on a bank holiday weekend but sean and suzie were very helpful in suggesting places that could help us and even offered to baby/dog sit if we needed and gave us extra time in the cottage before checking out so that we could make areangements. We could not recommend them more for a quiet getaway and we look foward to returning in the future. They have provided everything you will need while you are there, there is no utensil or cookware that you will find yourself without. Thank you so much for having us
We enjoyed are stay out in the country side but still close to everything we wanted to do. Have everything we need to cook at the house. Look forward to coming back.
Had a lovely stay at Sean and Suzi's property. Which was immaculate with everything you would need. Would readily recommend to anyone.

About the host
Hosted by sean and suzi
We moved back to Mayo in 2000 after 10 years of renovating Seán's family home - it took so long because of time and budget constraints. and we were joined in December by our daughter, Muirgheal. The family has now grown to include a donkey, 2 alpacas, 4 dogs, 2 miniature shetland ponies, 4 cats, 3 terrapins and 2 fish. The renovations bug took hold again in 2003 and we bought the dilapidated cottage which is now Tigh Mhic. We love the peace and quiet and empty spaces of Mayo and though others would too so planned the work with the idea of providing a home from home holiday cottage. What we didn't realise was how much we would enjoy sharing our love of east Mayo. Tigh Mhic is less than 3 miles from home which makes it easy to be on hand to help our visitors and maintain the cottage to the highest standards.
Why they chose this property
Mick's Place is a fully restored cottage. It is in such a peaceful setting we have taken ourselves off there for our own holidays! If you are out at the front and a vehicle goes past you look up and is not a common sight. You are definitely out in the country with the possibility of spotting hares, hawks, herons, foxes and swallows but only under 10 minutes from the small hub of Claremorris which offers shops, supermarkets, pubs, leisure facilities (including golf club and swimming pool), coffee shops and restaurants.
What makes this property unique
Our joys are gentle walks, occasional cycle rides, sitting with a good book and a glass of wine and spotting nature. These interests are definitely well served at Mick's Place. We also love the fact that Tig Mhic is well placed for day trips to Westport, Achill, Galway, Sligo, Carrick on Shannon and Roscommon..to name but a few of the beautiful places to visit in the west of Ireland
