    Excellent location, near the start of the trail to climb Croagh Patrick, guided walks and beaches. Great base for visiting South and West Mayo. A bonus is how close it is to Roonagh, where you can ferry to Clare Island. There are 2 GREAT pubs,...

    It was perfect and without doubt the best short break that we’ve ever had, the cottage it at the foot of Croagh Patrick and that in itself was a spectacular view to wake up to. We both agreed that we would stay at the cottage again, we loved it 🥰

    Breath taking, inside and out, has everything you could want or need when self catering, it honestly felt like we were in a fairytale for two days- hosts were so helpful for info on Westport and were on hand if anything went wrong, but everything...

The Cottage Hillside is over a hundred years old but it has many modern comforts since it's renovation in 2019. It's authentic cosy feel and location to local amenities makes it an ideal country escape. The stunning view of Croagh Patrick is one of its many charms. It also has a locked garage to store your bikes and equipment safely in, as well as a newly added mini gym if you'd like to keep fit during your travels.
Murrisk is a beautiful village at the foot of Croagh Patrick situated between sea and mountain on Ireland's Atlantic seaboard and has offered a unique blend of heritage, history and hospitality to visitors for thousands of years. The history of the area is inextricably linked to that of the mountain which has been a place of worship and pilgrimage for thousands of years. The village has a rich heritage with several significant archaeological sites, a 15th century Abbey and a national memorial commemorating the Irish Famine. This heritage combined with its location on the Atlantic coast has made the village a popular tourist destination. The Wild Atlantic Way is the longest defined coastal touring route in the world and runs through the heart of Murrisk. The Wild Atlantic Way follows the west coast of Ireland hugging the Atlantic seaboard from Donegal through Mayo down to Kerry and then along the south coast to Cork. It provides a combination of rugged scenery, dramatic seascapes and breathtaking panoramas which provide an inspiring and rewarding experience.
