About this house rental

Teach Mo Chroi' meaning 'Home of My Heart', is set upon an acre of meadowland amidst the farmland of Ballintubber, Co. Mayo where your nearest neighbor is likely to be the cow or sheep in a nearby field.

Drive down our little boreen, through the canopy of trees, to the gates of 'Teach Mo Chroi', a fresh friendly country home overlooking the Partry Mountains and Croagh Patrick.

Our boreen, Irish for tiny one-lane road, is just a 1/4 mile off N84 and midway between Castlebar and Ballinrobe Town. Only a 15 minute drive into Westport, a bustling seaside town on the Atlantic's Clew Bay, an hour to Galway City, and 25 minutes to Cong Village, home to Ashford Castle and The Quiet Man Cottage.

In this calm and tranquil setting there's nothing quite as nice as awakening to the birdsong on a fine summer morning. Relax with a cup of tea on the patio beside sunlit mountains; or pluck a novel from the book shelves and settle in for a good read. When night falls, the sky is transformed into a visual feast of stars!

The house is in an ideal location for touring the West of Ireland. Whether you've an hour or the day, consider visiting these worthwhile nearby offerings: 12th Century Ballintubber Abbey, Ballinrobe Horse races, Heneghans Heritage Centre, Corrib Cruises, The Ceide Fields, Kylemore Abbey, Croagh Patrick, Westport House & Country Park Amusements, The Fjords at Killary Harbor, Our Lady of Knock Shrine, Galway City, the spectacular cliffs and superb beaches of Achill Island, or for a special treat attend High Tea in Ashford Castle or learn to fly a hawk at Ashford Castle's Falconry School.

For the thrill seekers and outdoorsmen, try the unique challenges offered at the Killary Adventure Center.

Teach Mo Chroi' is a family friendly home with many desirable features to its credit; providing excellent accommodations to large groups, for reunions, anniversaries, and special family gatherings. There is ample parking for 6 vehicles.

The house is equipped with US 110v outlets as well as the standard Irish 220v, so bring along your I pods, etc. For the film buff, relax and enjoy a selection from our more than 30 Irish Films on DVD. From the spacious kitchen to the warm inviting living room, every room is large and comfortable.

The Master Bedroom is en suite with a King bed and walk-in closet. All bedrooms are fitted with ultra plush US mattresses. The Extra large Double Bedroom has 2 Queen beds, Two additional Bedrooms host a Queen & Single bed in each. There are 2 more bathrooms with tub and shower units as well as a large utility room w/washer and dryer. Good water pressure throughout the home.

Cartronbower boreen serves as a walking route to many of the locals because its peaceful and rarely traveled. Wander down its winding path and you're likely to encounter horses, donkeys and lately 2 alpacas in the surrounding fields, each known to enjoy a carrot or apple from a friendly passerby.

In early Spring, the fields are alive with the sights and sounds of baby lambs, a vision to behold for children and adults alike. A portion of the front garden is a soccer/Gaelic football field complete with 2 netted goals. Additionally, there's a paved area for basketball with 2 backboards, child's swing set, and a patio complete with furniture and BBQ Grill.

This is a large and comfortable home a short drive from Westport and the village of Cong. We enjoyed exploring the area. We took a fabulous bike ride along the Greenway trail and went to the Ballintubber Abbey that’s just down the way, as well as Ashford castle for tea. Marie, the housekeeper who was in charge, was super friendly and helpful, leaving us flowers and checking in a couple of times to make sure things were going well. One of the nice things about the house is that there is a view of Croagh Patrick from the sliding door window in the kitchen we could see the pilgrim trail in the distance. There’s also a great looking swing set for those with kids.

The house was perfect. It is very "Americanized" which was a huge plus for us. We traveled with my 94 year old mom and she had no problem navigating around the house. It was big but warm and cozy. We utilized the kitchen the most. Sitting around the big round table drinking tea looking at beautiful views (we also saw the Northern Lights) from the glass Kitchen doors. Marie the property care taker was so helpful and kind. She checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. She was a text/phone call away if we needed her. This property is a gem. 100% recommend everyone to book it.

We absolutely loved our stay at this home in Ireland! It was incredibly cozy and cute with an amazing view of the Irish countryside. We felt so relaxed every morning waking up here. I can't recommend this place enough!

I can't recommend this home enough for anyone seeking a peaceful and comfortable retreat in the West of Ireland! We used it as a base to explore Westport and Castlebar towns along with some sights along the Wild Atlantic Way. The convenience of being close to these towns while still enjoying the tranquility of the countryside was hard to beat. The home is warm and clean. The kitchen is especially cozy and has everything you could need to make a lovely breakfast or dinner. The gorgeous views of Croagh Patrick, especially on clear days, added an extra layer of magic to our experience. Enjoying my morning coffee on the porch swing while taking in the stunning scenery was a daily ritual that I looked forward to. The sheep and donkeys in the nearby fields were an added bonus! Thank you for having us! We look forward to our next trip!

Truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely Ballintubber home. The property was spacious yet cozy, tucked away down a charming road. We were enamored by the unobstructed views of Crough Patrick and slept comfortably in the massive beds. Hard to find an accommodation like this in neighboring towns, would happily stay again!!

We loved the house, particularly the eat-in kitchen and the farm land on all sides of the property. Our party was two adult couples and we had more than enough room to spread out and relax. Special thank you to Marie, the local property contact, who helped guide us on getting a replacement tire in town after a blowout on our rental car.

My family and friends stayed here for 2 weeks. It’s about a 3 hour drive from Dublin airport and was centrally located for where we wanted to go visit. The house is great. There are 4 bedrooms, one has a king size bed and it’s own bathroom. The other bedrooms are 2 separate beds and there are also 2 unattached bathrooms for them as well. The property is well maintained, down a long entry driveway to the house. You can see sheep in the next field and the road to and around the house has several roads you can walk and explore, also pick and eat wild blackberries which are everywhere. We even made a syrup to pour over fresh vanilla ice cream which was excellent. The house is somewhat americanized in that there aren’t tiny rooms, such as you find in Europe. The full sized kitchen was used frequently for the 6 of us to cook local food from the Tessco in Castlebar. We also used the grill on the back patio area to grill up some fresh lamb chops, steaks and chicken. The back patio area has a picnic table, outdoor chairs and a 2 person swing. We spent a bunch of time back there enjoying some fresh pints, wine and looking at Croagh Patrick mountain. The scenery is beautiful and only occasionally the local families were running their tractors on the road near the house for field work and we loved watching them. Just use caution when walking around as the roads are small and visibility around some turns is minimal. Overall, this house was amazing and Marie helped us so much. We loved it!
