Apartment vacation rentals in County Mayo

To be honest, I am rather reluctant to write this review. Why? Because I hope that only a few people might find out about this idyllic place otherwise it will likely be booked up the whole year through. But then that would not be fair to our very gracious hosts Joanne and Cathal. The apartment is resplendent, pristine and bright - with everything you might hope to find provided in a self-catering setting, and more besides.. We lacked nothing. Big screen smart TV, two separate bathrooms - one with a bath which I was sure to use after my Croagh Patrick ascent and descent, even a Salon level hair-dryer was provided. Two huge beds in an impressively spacious studio space upstairs. A well lit and spacious kitchen making meal preparation a joy with no lack of accessories provided. A large living-TV room with an expansive luxurious settee. But the quiet, the stillness and the closeness to nature cannot be overstated. As a retreat setting it is quite perfect and only 15 mins from Knock Shrine.

Four of us enjoyed the condo for seven nights. Beautiful view, spotless accommodation, quality towels and bed linens, all we needed in the kitchen. Mary and Phil went out of their way to provide alternative bedding when the weather turned warmer than expected. Truly responsive hosts. We look forward to returning to Newport, a charming village in easy reach of a variety of towns and attractions. Don’t miss Westport and Achill Island. And the Grainne Uaille pub’s Thursday night trad music session is grand!

Kathy was very prompt dealing with the booking and both the description and photos of the accommodation were also excellent. We arrived and were invited to an impromptu barbeque with some of Kathy's and Gerry's friends, which was most welcome. The location is excellent, private and within easy reach of the centre of Ballina, the Hideaway is extremely clean and the beds are very comfortable, there were some useful food provisions provided and it is highly recommended.

Excellent, proactive communication comes to mind first! While the cottage was not the most stylish, it was one of the most functional places we have stayed and was our home away from home for three days. Close to hiking, beaches, and great food. Highly recommended.

Lovely private mews. Small but very efficiently laid out. Nice friendly hosts. Definitely recommend.

We visited Ireland for the first time (4-person family) and deliberately chose a rural accommodation. The location was fantastic and especially the nearby beaches delighted us. The view of the surrounding mountains was also beautiful. The house was spacious and had everything we needed. It was a good starting point for our activities by car. We had a nice time together as a family and thank Margaret and her husband very much for their hospitality.

We had a fantastic stay for a long weekend in Westport . The place was pristine, stylish and absolutely perfect for us. The location is ideal - with lots of great options for food and coffee on the doorstep overlooking the quay. The hosts were fantastic and proactive with their communication which made the run up and check out process very easy! We will definitely be back!

My THIRD stay at the Little Mosaic and it now feels like coming "home"! I love returning to this beautiful part of the world and as usual I had the most wonderful welcome! Thanks a million Shane and Barbara and hopefully, see you again next year!

Kathleen and her property was brilliant in every way. Will stay there again

This Airbnb is in the downstairs of a picturesque old building in the heart of Clonbur. A bakery and grocery store are across the street. Although trucks do rattle by early in the morning, and the property overlooks a wood mill, the location in general terms is fabulous because of all the things to see and do nearby. The layout of the rental is surprising at first, but it’s actually very comfortable once you get used to having an entry area with the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom in separate rooms off the entry. A couple of tips: hold the front door handle up, to lock it, and pull the string in the bathroom to make the shower’s hot water heater turn on. The owner of this rental is a delight, the village is charming, and the countryside surrounding it is stunning. Hiking trails are in easy walking distance! I highly recommend this rental.

Elizabeth & Brian’s place was absolutely wonderful!! Bright and full of light and overlooks a beautiful bay! You can see both tide in and tide out. It’s an incredibly short walk to all shops, restaurants and bars. Clifton is such a fun town and so fun to explore! It is so close to castles, ruins, an abbey and all sorts of lovely site-seeing!! Communication was excellent! We would definitely stay here again!!

Gail’s place exceeded my expectations. The kitchen includes a separate sitting and dining area, so it was not at all pokey. Although it is above a cafe/pizza shop with lovely cooking smells, it was quiet in the evening. The apartment had everything we needed. The one drawback is there is no number to the apartment and so you have converse by messenger and meet Gail for key handover.

The apartment had all we needed, was spottles clean and is in a quiet area. It's a 30-minute walk from the city, but you can also rent a bike or a cab to get there faster. There are a few restaurants, shops and nice walkable areas.

Lovely peaceful location. Asked sheila beforehand if basics would b there on arrival and sure enough there was tea, coffee, pint of milk and packet of biscuits We arrived half hour early and sheila had just arrived to clean house after the previous tenant so we went for walk on thebeautiful beach and house was ready when we arrived back. Super comfy bed. So peaceful day and night. Tenants in main house were very quiet. Beach bar less than 10 mins walk was very good value - should book ahead if dining there. We didn't use cooking facilities in house so cannot comment in that regard. Overall loved our stay and would be very happy to re book. Sheila was quick to respond to any queries before we arrived. We put bed linen on to wash before we left but as there was only one washing pod we didn't put on the 2 towels as didn't want to overload washing machine. Would recommend

Ciara is a really lovely friendly host, flexible and super helpful. The apartment is exactly as described, but with breathtaking scenery, the occasional peaceful sound of horses clip clopping past and the sea across the road - stunning! I will definitely be back 🥰

I Have Stayed in Foxford Many Times and this location was Perfect the Apartment Was Stunning Clean Tidy And well presented everything you Needed was there and Mary also left us some food in the fridge and fresh bread How Nice which was wonderful after a long drive and also kept in touch could not fault this Apartment shops and pubs for food Within Walking Distance with Beautiful views of the river Moy on your door step This I Have to say was a great Experience And Would not Hesitate To Return soon Thank You Mary

Nice apartment in a beautiful landscape- the hosts are very friendly and helpful. There is a nice oven and the kitchen is well fitted! We slept very good and had two relaxed days in this AirBNB, Thanks to Mary & Vincent 100% Empfehlung !

Catherine’s Hidden Gem was a wonderful refuge on our road trip around Ireland. So beautifully created, and thoughtfully presented, cosy and delightful. Every amenity provided for our comfort. Great coffee, well stocked fridge, comfy beds, angel lights to guide us home, maps and even a chocolate by the bedside table. Five star accommodation. Catherine was the most amazing host and helped us with her local knowledge, advice and cosmic personality. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you Catherine, we will never forget you.

We had really a great stay in the apartment! The apartment is very good and the location is really amazing! We loved the walk to the water and also the walk to Clifden (which is a very nice town)! The apartment and the garden were bigger than expected. And my husband, who is not a very easy sleeper, said that the bed and mattress were the best he'd ever slept in :-). Thank you Stephen!

We had a very good time at the apartment. We wish we were able to spend more than one night there. Would definitely recommend.

The apartment was fabulous. We were 5 adults and there was plenty of space. We cooked most meals and the kitchen was very well equipped. The lounge was comfortable for 5 adults. We were able to park right outside. The location was just a short walk into the centre. Just a small issue was on the second night there was some noise outside between midnight and 3am and this disturbed our sleep. We think it was people leaving the hotel opposite. We would also have liked curtains as well as blinds on the bedroom windows as street lights leaked into the room. Overall a very good stay.

Good location, great view of ricer from balcony. Within walking distance of everything in town. Kare was very responsive and gave great recommendations for restaurants in the vicinity.

Lovely place by the river, very close to all amenities, tastefully decorated inside.

I would definitely recommend Linda’s apartment. We were there for two weeks. The apartment was lovely and very convenient to the Quay and the town. Linda was an exceptionally responsive host!
