From the moment my husband & I stepped inside this beautiful cosy cottage, we felt so at home. Our little boy & our dog both enjoyed their stay. We didn't want to leave. We would love to come back & definitely stay for longer. Sean & Suzi, have literally thought of everything. Thank you both so much for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage.

Micks little slice of heaven
Within 30 minutes of booking I was contacted by Suzy. It was a last minute booking as we decided to go away for our son’s 12th birthday. Directions were spot on. You can see the house as you drive along the track!Advised hosts of our ETA and we were met at the property by Suzy & Séan. Both lovely and welcoming.There was a lovely message wishing our son a happy birthday from the clever kitties 😊Suzy & Séan Gave us all the information we would need. And a brief rundown on how the house was refurbished. The pictures tell the tale beautifully. We were instantly blown away by the beautiful setting and the 2 ponies came over to greet us swiftly followed by Tilly the cat, our youngest took a real shine to her and she slept in his room with him. The house has everything you could need and more. From the beautiful bedding to hair straighteners!! The underfloor heating was amazing and there were some logs/kindle for us to have fires both evenings. The kitchen is fully equipped. We had forgotten milk so hubby found a Aldi about 10 minutes down the road. We didn’t see a soul which was bliss. I can imagine it being even more stunning in the warmer months.Stunning views both front & back. Our boys loved exploring and came across the makings of a bar, possibly a new project? We loved it so much we are looking at dates to visit again for longer.I’d highly recommend this little slice of blue heaven. See you soon. Louise Andy Jude & Rohan💙

Real pleasure real Ireland
A taste of real Ireland in Mayo. Peaceful location, characterful accommodation with really comfortable beds, rooms and living room. We both slept so well. It was fully stocked with everything, plus more, you could think of including games, cable tv, extensive kitchen equipment, high quality bedding and a delightful bath. The hosts were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and informative. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning very soon. Thank you Mayo. Thank you to our two & four legged friends.

Best Cottage in Ireland!
Séan and Suzi have done a fantastic job at converting a piece of history into a present-day retreat home. They communicated with us before during and after our stay and made sure we had everything we needed. Excellent location and amenities and a genuine Irish holiday location! Thank you, Suzi and Séan!!!

Restful get away
The property is in an idyllic location, if you want piece and quiet. The house is very comfortable throughout. Sean met us at property and gave us a quick run down of the house. The information folder provided included "everything" you need to know about property and surrounding amenities. The enclosed front garden was perfect for our dog. Any enquries we had ( which were very few) were answered immediately. Sean and suzi were perfect hosts and we fully intend to rebook

Quiet Country location. Great location for walks in the country. Saw red foxes multiple times on our walks. Enjoyed the cats who stay in cat house behind the property. Hosts responded quickly to any inquiries and usually visit the property to check in on cats and water plants in greenhouse.

Marvellous Mayo Break
Tigh Mhic is a beautifully kept, spotless and well presented holiday cottage in a quiet and peaceful location which left us feeling refreshed and restored at the end of our 3 night stay. The attention to detail in the cottage is second to none and wanted for nothing. The cottage is “old world” but at the same time has excellent amenities and all mod cons were provided. The thoughtful extra touches (e.g. dishwasher tablets and plenty of condiments) made us feel very welcome Sleeping and living accommodation were extremely comfortable and the fully enclosed grassy garden area was perfect for our two dogs to romp around in without being able to stray too far. Sean and Suzi were very helpful with advice on local facilities such as shopping and attractions. There was plenty of sightseeing available in the area without having to travel too far - we recommend Ballintubber Abbey, Moore Hall (in particular), Michael Davitt Museum, Knock Shrine and Foxford Woollen Mills. The Museum of Country Life is also a must see for anyone with an interest in Irish folk history.. We are delighted to thoroughly recommend Tigh Mhic for a relaxing getaway and would hope to make a return visit soon!

Charming Little Blue House
We stayed at Suzi and Sean’s charming cottage in June 2023. Plenty of room for 4 adults with a fully stocked kitchen, comfy beds and pillows, and large living room. Two bathrooms and a washing machine make this an ideal spot for groups to use as a home base. Great little courtyard with seating in the back. This property would also be fantastic for those traveling with children-plenty of wonderful toys, games, and a large bathtub with hand held. We were lucky enough to accompany Sean one morning to feed the miniature horses, alpacas, and donkey next door! Property cat Bowie will greet you! Suzi and Sean were a wealth of information and very generous and supporting of us-would definitely recommend!

Absolutely perfect
Cottage is exactly what is represented; even better! Sean and Suzy were great hosts. Cottage may have been too large for our needs, but we really liked having all of the space. Beds were very comfortable and it was very clean with all amenities that would be expected. Would recommend highly; we plan to return again, as we are buying a property in the area. Only very minor critique -- too much "stuff" everywhere -- game, toys, bric a brac; I prefer more empty space where we could put our things, but I understand geared toward families and children. We loved the animals; one of the cats spent several nights with us in the cottage :) Peggy & Jim (Michigan USA)
