Quiet week in the wild west
We'd a lovely week. The host couldn't have set us up better, and there was no need to be in touch during our stay. Recommending a trip to Clare Island, and doing the purple loop walk there. Also the shorter Killeen-Killadoon coast loop for its great views. The house has everything you need and a fabulous view of the Reek.

What a hidden gem, the unit was wonderful, fully stocked kitchen, clothes washer, lovely and comfortable upstairs sitting area. The bed was very comfortable, bathroom had heated floor. Our Hostess Hilary was superb, explained everything at check in, brought flowers around, excellent recommendations for sightseeing and places to dine. As we were leaving she came over to say good bye and we chatted for another 45min. Very pleasant and helpful. Felix, Hilary’s husband is an artist, his work is displayed in the apartment. We really liked and enjoyed his displayed pieces. Wonderful stay, Super Hosts, Thank You Hilary and Felix

Listening to Silence
Everything about the apartment was as good as we had hoped. We were very comfortable for our week of residence. After a friendly welcome on arrival, we did not see or hear another human at the property for the whole week. The location, with the beautiful mountain at the front (when not too cloudy) and a five minute walk to the beach from the door, cannot be beaten. Best of all was the sound of silence (punctuated only by the occasional sheep).

cosy nest at Bertra
A wonderful host(ess) and a cosy nest of a place with inspired art work and verdant garden giving onto a magnificent view of the 'Reek' and within close walking distance of the scenic Betra Strand. Westport close enough for visiting friends and shopping, but this nest is far enough away to provide dark skies and a totally silent night. Comfortable bed and small but handy kitchen. If you are fit go on and climb the mountain you can climb it from here. But if temptation prevails, relax on the sunny patio deck and sample whatever you cook or imbibe whilst drinking in the fabulously clear air.

Exceeded Expectations
Every aspect of our our experience exceeded expectations. Unit was exactly as expected … very comfortable clean and quiet. Very easy and pleasant check-in process after a long flight to, and drive from, Dublin. Host Hilary was also very helpful in recommending special places to see and dine. This was the best stop of all 5 that we made on this visit to Ireland. (All 5 were great, Thornhill was the best.) We look forward to returning and staying longer, Many thanks Hilary!

Careful if you want to walk to the nearest pub, there isn’t a footpath all the way. But that’s a minor detail considering everything else is absolutely perfect.

Amazing view, in a beautifully decorated condo.
My wife and I would have been happy to stay 'near' Croagh Patrick, but this place has a view and more, it's only a 5 minute drive from the mountain access. Hilary was delightful, she met us personally to give us our keys, and welcome us to Ireland, and both her hand her husband have done an excellent job of decorating the place with their art. Also, and I can not stress this enough, the bathroom has heated floors. We came for St. Patrick's day at the cusp of spring, so it made for a cozy surprise for two chilly Texans abroad. Can not wait to visit again in the future!
