Ireland itself and especially this residence gave us way more than we expected. we rent this house for 7 persons and stayed 10 days. In fact it felt more like 3 weeks. You instantly feel home - there is a big difference if the residence is owner used or just commercially used for tourists.

We enjoyed a fantastic week at this wonderful property in a stunning location on Lough Mask. The facilities are excellent and Thomas (the host) was brilliant - so kind, thoughtful and welcoming. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and much appreciated after a long drive! The house is enormous and very well-equipped. Sitting in the hot tub and taking in the view of the countryside is simply sublime. If you are lucky, you may see deer grazing around the garden in the early morning. We drove out to Achill Island, Connemara, Galway and many other places. But there are also many attractions close by: Westport is a beautiful town, and Tourmakeady has a couple of excellent pubs and wonderful walk to a secluded waterfall. All in all, I would highly recommend this property and hope other people enjoy their stay as much as we did.

We had a lovely time here. Thomas and Eileen were kind and courteous and extremely flexible to our needs and requests. The house has so much capacity for a large group, but also nicely sectioned off areas so people can have peace and privacy too. The annex at the far end even has its own kitchen, dining room, bedroom and bathroom. The regular kitchen is well equipt with normal day-to-day things like sugar, salt, spices etc. There's cookware, a microwave, dishwasher, kettle, and even a washing machine and tumble dryer (useful in the west of Ireland!). The hot-tub is nice, but there's so much to do you won't have much time for it. The grounds and general area is so beautiful. You're guaranteed to have a wonderful time here. Finally, I want to say a personal thank you to Eileen for sending us back those items we forgot! That really was above and beyond - you're a very kind person indeed!!! Thank you both to Thomas and Eileen for making our important and special family holilday so comfortable!

Modern house with old world charm set in the lovely countryside surrounding Tourmakeady and with great views of Loch Mask. The addition of a hot tub in the peaceful surroundings adds an extra layer of luxury which is ideal for a family holiday.

The Chalet was very nice. Even better equiped than we expected. And with a very warm welcome from the owners. The view is lovely and we had a great time. The hottub was a wonderful surprise. There's a lot to explore in the area. Especially when you like hiking (which we do). Also we visitied Galway, Clare Island, Westport, Achill Island and Omey Island. And of course the Wild Atlantic Way.

Great Holiday

Great Holiday

A beautiful house with beautiful views over lough mask. Perfect location for travelling to nearby towns and attractions. The house is very spacious and catered very well for us a party of eight. Our host Thomas was very welcoming and very thorough with the handover of the property. A very generous welcome basket was much appreciated by all. Toiletries were also provided and we could help ourselves to delicious tomatoes and strawberries from the polytunnel! Not forgetting the nice surprise of hot tub! A great time had by all our family, we would certainly love a return visit!!

Wir fühlten uns bei Eileen und Thomas sehr willkommen.

Wir fühlten uns bei Eileen und Thomas sehr willkommen.

Das Haus ist riesengroß und geschmackvoll und hochwertig eingerichtet. Man merkt sofort, dass es keine reine Ferienwohnung ist. So richtet man nur für sich selbst ein. Ein Perfektionist wird sich eventuell daran stören, dass einige Details nicht handwerklich perfekt ausgeführt sind. Uns hat das nicht gestört. Das macht die schöne und wirklich komplette Ausstattung mehr als wett. Ein Highlight ist sicherlich der Hot-Tub. Draussen im warmen Wasser zu sitzen und mit einem Getränk in der Hand den Blick über den Lough Mask (selten einen See mit so unterschiedlichen Schreibweisen gesehen) schweifen zu lassen, das ist schon ein erhebenden Gefühl. Die Einweisung und Übergabe war herzlich und ausführlich. Ich mag den Humor von Thomas. Wir können diese Ferienunterkunft jedem wärmstens empfehlen. Nicht zuletzt wegen der großartigen Landschaft, in der sie eingebettet ist.

Surpassed expectations!

Surpassed expectations!

The house and setting surpassed our expectations. Thomas was a generous host and very accessible. He has a lovely home in a beautiful setting, surrounded by fields, with fabulous views of Lough Mask. The cottage offered ample space and great comfort (in all weathers). I had never been to Tourmakeady and knew nothing of the area but would definitely consider returning there and to the cottage. Our only regret was that we did a bit too much travelling rather than staying put and enjoying the cottage and locality. All the more reason to plan another visit!

Everything we needed and more while staying at this beautiful home. Stunning views, safe garden full of flowers and lots of space inside and out. The greenhouse, the hammock in the garden, the jigsaws,sheep in the next field, horses down the quiet lane, a super playground and forest walk with waterfall up the road were just some of the highlights for our children. We were treated to a welcome basket on arrival. A big thank you to Thomas for such a memorable holiday in this beautiful part part of Mayo.

Wonderful location, spacious and modern house

We had a wonderful relaxing stay - our daughter and 3 of our grandsons joined us and we enjoyed surfing, walking, eating, drinking and generally having a great time. Any rainy day and you gave the option of high speed broadband and a good tv and sound system - or just out in wet weather clothes and go out. The shopping in Westport is fun and the kitchen in the house is just what is needed for catering for a group. It’s also peaceful with panoramic views across to the lake. We plan to come back!

Our host Thomas gave us a wonderful welcome and spent time showing us his beautiful home and gave us advice and tips for our stay. His home had everything we could need and it was a very comfortable. The fourth bedroom is more suitable for a child than an adult. Thomas was an excellent host. Thank you

We so enjoyed our stay in a Tourmakeady. Thomas’ place is spacious and filled with all the amenities you need. We enjoyed the view of the water and of the grazing sheep while sitting in the backyard. We hated to leave it!
