Beautiful view and lovely host!
We so enjoyed our stay at Hillary’s place. She was a very helpful and responsive host with great recommendations on hikes and meals. We hiked the Croagh Patric hill which is the hill in the pictures and walked the nearby beaches. The house was a wonderful stay. Clean and beautiful.

Quiet week in the wild west
We'd a lovely week. The host couldn't have set us up better, and there was no need to be in touch during our stay. Recommending a trip to Clare Island, and doing the purple loop walk there. Also the shorter Killeen-Killadoon coast loop for its great views. The house has everything you need and a fabulous view of the Reek.

A fabulous property near the beach
Our time in Westport was amazing. Walking distance to the beach, a short drive to Westport (a darling town - Westport House Tour is a must), and dinner at The Tavern (great food and atmosphere). Hillary was a wonderful hostess, the property was well appointed, funky (loved the spiral staircase to the loft as a workspace (we used as workout space - yoga), and had all the amenities required. We would definitely recommend Hillary’s property - a great stay!

Croagh Patrick
What a hidden gem, the unit was wonderful, fully stocked kitchen, clothes washer, lovely and comfortable upstairs sitting area. The bed was very comfortable, bathroom had heated floor. Our Hostess Hilary was superb, explained everything at check in, brought flowers around, excellent recommendations for sightseeing and places to dine. As we were leaving she came over to say good bye and we chatted for another 45min. Very pleasant and helpful. Felix, Hilary’s husband is an artist, his work is displayed in the apartment. We really liked and enjoyed his displayed pieces. Wonderful stay, Super Hosts, Thank You Hilary and Felix

Listening to Silence
Everything about the apartment was as good as we had hoped. We were very comfortable for our week of residence. After a friendly welcome on arrival, we did not see or hear another human at the property for the whole week. The location, with the beautiful mountain at the front (when not too cloudy) and a five minute walk to the beach from the door, cannot be beaten. Best of all was the sound of silence (punctuated only by the occasional sheep).

cosy nest at Bertra
A wonderful host(ess) and a cosy nest of a place with inspired art work and verdant garden giving onto a magnificent view of the 'Reek' and within close walking distance of the scenic Betra Strand. Westport close enough for visiting friends and shopping, but this nest is far enough away to provide dark skies and a totally silent night. Comfortable bed and small but handy kitchen. If you are fit go on and climb the mountain you can climb it from here. But if temptation prevails, relax on the sunny patio deck and sample whatever you cook or imbibe whilst drinking in the fabulously clear air.

Exceeded Expectations
Every aspect of our our experience exceeded expectations. Unit was exactly as expected … very comfortable clean and quiet. Very easy and pleasant check-in process after a long flight to, and drive from, Dublin. Host Hilary was also very helpful in recommending special places to see and dine. This was the best stop of all 5 that we made on this visit to Ireland. (All 5 were great, Thornhill was the best.) We look forward to returning and staying longer, Many thanks Hilary!

Careful if you want to walk to the nearest pub, there isn’t a footpath all the way. But that’s a minor detail considering everything else is absolutely perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Hilary

Host profile image
I am Dublin born and love to travel, sail and ski. Also like reading and really old romantic movies in b/w and music. I really enjoy to meet interesting people and travellers. Most of all I love Mayo and Clew Bay for its spectacular wildness and adventure.

Why they chose this property

Architect designed property which we built in 2001. Spectacular location on the Bertra Strand Peninsular under the Holy Mountain of Croagh Patrick which is an extinct volcano. Westport has been voted the best place to live in Ireland by the Irish Times and is the adventure sports, cycling (Greenway) and fishing location. Going West on the Wild Atlantic Way there are surfing beaches nearby and ferries to the Islands from Louisburgh.

What makes this property unique

Amazing Panoramic Views of Croagh Patrick from the sun deck. Enjoy spectacular sunsets on Bertra Strand of Clew Bay and its islands. Property is on the Greenway extension from Croagh Patrick which means you can walk or cycle to Croagh Patrick approx. 1 km and the village of Murrisk with 2 Pubs with Food/Restaurant. Quiet private road location. Only minutes walk from the beach of Bertra with sand dunes. Close to the quaint harbour town of Westport and Louisburgh with its many surfing beaches and Old Head with its ancient oak forest.
