County Mayo Vacation Rental castle: Westport

We've just returned from an amazing weekend break in Kilgallan to celebrate our mother's 60th birthday. My parents are currently renovating their own church in Co Wexford and we thought a trip to this wonderful restoration would give them lots of inspiration and we weren't wrong; they've gone home with lots of new ideas and renewed enthusiasm.

The property accommodated all of us comfortably, in fact, there were so many nooks and crannies we had to do a headcount when we were setting off anywhere. We happened to be blessed with fair weather which was partly a shame as I could have spent hours enjoying the splendid interior.

Andrew and Jackie really know how to make their guests feel at home with really comfortable bedrooms and living areas. The kitchen is a joy to potter in or sit and read a paper and is very well equipped. It was great having all the larder essentials and the makings of a cooked breakfast for our first morning was a really nice touch.

I've heard and read that this property has achieved the seemingly impossible by making a historic and imposing building comfortable and dare I say it, cosy! It really catered for our mixed group very well - the children had a great time exploring but were always within eyeshot.

There is plenty to do for old and young around the area (Westport, lovely beach at Luisbourg, Clew Bay etc) but we could have had equally good time spending more time back at base.We've been on plenty of self catering holidays and the places we've stayed have always fufilled our requirements but we will never forget our time in Kilgallan - it was so much more than a self-catering break, it was an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing this amazing place with us!

From the moment we drove to this beautiful place I was impressed, the attention given to this building during it’s renovation was well thought out and they have done a great job!
The location is perfect, and the accommodations where everything we needed!
A well stocked kitchen with room for every one to get together for breakfast and dinner.
Plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone, and a great place to relax! Listen to music through out the house.
Sit by the fire place and read a book, walk up to the local hotel pub for a drink with the neighbors, and we found a great golf course near by!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful place!
I didn't want to leave!!!

My family and I traveled through the UK and Holland and our stay at Kilgallan was a highlight. The accommodations where very comfortable and spacious enough for 7 of us to have plenty of privacy. Perfect location for a variety of day trips and yet enjoyable to just stay put.

We arrived late and were greeted with wine and makings for breakfast the next morning! These small details made us feel immediately at home.

I recommend it highly.
