  Fantastic house, only a short walk into the town or the harbour.

  A great location for exploring westport. We were a family of 6 with two young children and 2 eldery parents and a small dog. The kitchen is extremely well equipped and so easy to function everything. The beds are very comfortable, and each room has an ensuite in every room. This was very handy for us as a family. Heating is very easy to use and great to put on for any cold evening. Eilish our host was very kind to allow us a late check out to help bag for our two young kids and my elderly parents. There was also a welcome package which was so tasty and very welcoming. There was a highchair provided and small toys were in the house which was fantastic to keep little ones happy. The garden is brilliant, a great size and so secure. There is a big step into the kitchen just to be aware, as one of my children isn't walking yet and you would need to keep an eye as she would crawl right up to the step. There is a side door in the house and has a turn key perhaps need to watch for little ones as I caught my eldest messing at it one day. Other than that the house is amazing and just perfect. It's a home away from your home. You will love your stay here. We had a fantastic time staying at Eilish's wonderful home.

  Bohan's Barn was a wonderful holiday cottage and a well located base to explore County Mayo.

  It is set in the most tranquil and beautiful rural location, but bustling towns and miles of stunning empty beaches are all within easy distance. There is also really well stocked shop a very short drive away so you wouldn't have to venture far if it you didn't want to. My dog loved exploring all the space in the garden and meeting the horses next door. The property was spacious and comfortable with everything you could need and beautifully decorated - I feel like the pictures don't do it justice. I particularly loved curling up in front of the log-burning stove in the evening and enjoying the well-stocked bookshelves. Everything worked great too - heating was easy to work, lots of hot water, fast internet and a great TV. Gillian was a wonderful host, helping us make the most of the local area and providing a lovely welcome pack - what a treat to be gifted freshly baked bread still warm from the oven! I will remember my holiday here very fondly and would happily recommend it to everyone!

  We just spent four glorious days in beautiful North Mayo based at Bohan's Barn.

  What a little gem of a house; cosy, comfortable, located just a short drive from glorious unspoilt beaches, the bustling town of Ballina and the stunning mountainous landscape wrapped around us. We had everything we needed in the house for a family of six plus our dog. The house is safely located down a meandering lane, well away from the road which meant a lot with our youngest child with a learning difficulty and our dog of course. Gillian, the owner could not have been more helpful and welcoming. She greeted us with a big bag of goodies for our breakfast the next day and a freshly baked loaf of brown bread. Gillian guided us in where to visit on our short stay and she gaged our interests 100%. We will defiantly return for another stay at Bohan's Barn, only this time we will stay longer. xo

  The house is in a lovely location and is exceptionally clean and comfortable.

  There is a microwave, hairdryer and iron available which are not listed on the website. The peace and quite of the surrounding area is a balm to the soul, the views are lovely from the house and it's not far from lovely walking/running beaches (Ring). The only (small) thing is that the heating is not in the control of the guests. There are two radiators on a timer and one in the bedroom which guests can control. Having said that Seamus was available to change the temperature settings and timings but personally I would prefer to have been able to turn the heat on or off as needed. We were lucky with the dry weather so could get out and about during the day to see the lovely sights of Waterford. I would definitely recommend Clash-Brack for an enjoyable holiday experience.

  Gillian and Eamonn are the most friendly and welcoming of hosts.

  Bohan’s barn is a gem of a holiday home which is furnished to the highest standard: our every need was anticipated. It is spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The setting in the small wood offered us opportunities to see hares in garden, deer and the wonderful horses both in the stables and in the field. I can not recommend Bohan’s Barn enough: it is within easy reach of the towns of Crossmolina, Ballina, Castlebar and Foxford; We visited wonderful beaches at beaches Ballycastle, Ross, Carrowmore Lacken and Enniscrone; Stunning geography and dramatic scenery at Downpatrick; a short drive took is to Belmullet and Achill. North Mayo is truly magnificent and Bohan’s Barn is ideal to tour its rugged beauty…we will be back. Thanks Gillian and Eamonn.
