This cosy home is located on the shores of Lough Conn, one of the most beautiful and scenic lakes in Ireland. About 2km away is the town of Foxford, with it's local pubs, restaurants, equestrian centre and of course the famous Foxford Woollen Mills. Just 4km from the house is the lovely picturesque village of Pontoon - famed for its stunning views and lovely walks. Lough Conn and Lough Cullen are famed for their trout and salmon fishing and angling is a very popular sport amongst tourists and locals on these lakes. Boats and fishing rods can be hired from the nearby Healy's County House, which also offers superb food and an extensive wine list. Walking is a popular activity here too as there are many secluded and quiet beaches on the shores of the lakes. Nearby larger towns include Castlebar, Westport, Charlestown and Ballaghadreen with Knock Airport located less than 40km from the property. This truly is a great base from which to explore the undiscovered West of Ireland.

Our August 2009 Stay

Hawaii78 Salt Lake City, Utah
Review Submitted: September 10, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our stay in August of 2009 was an enjoyable one. With the help of Helen, e-mails and paypal we were able to arrange a nice visit. The home is comfortable and roomy. The couple of items that need attention are the breakers turning off if too many outlets are in use, stove and clothes washer at the same time, etc. Also there is no clothes dryer, which in Ireland clothes drying can take 3 days. The cottage is in a nice setting and not too far from a couple of small towns, Foxford and Castlebar. It sits between Lough Conn and Lough Cullin. Overall we enjoyed our time there. Helen, the property manager, is very accommodating. There were lots of maps and brochures in the living room chest which were quite helpful.
