Teach ma chroi is a charming and well-appointed home. All the rooms were on one floor and that was great. A quiet, idyllic location is surrounded by trees and animals. It is quite a ways from any town. There was really nothing in the house that we needed and didn't find. I wish we had known that Catronbower was the name of the street/road, it would have made it easier to find but once we figured out the Eircode it made it easier. Also, I would stay for a few hours at the hotel at the airport (Shannon) and get some sleep before driving in the dark. We got to the Cliffs of Moher before they opened and could get anything to eat. It was a long day. Also, get in touch with the property manager and let her know your plans, it was difficult to get in touch when we were there by phone. Maura was very nice and helpful. All in all we had a great time and enjoyed the views of Croagh Patrick .

Absolutely the best property in the West of Ireland. A warm and cozy property well worth your attention. If you’ve ever been to Ireland, you’ll understand the importance of a warm, cozy house. Teach Mo Chroi’ is exactly what you’re looking for. From booking through check out everything was perfect. More room than you could ever need. Both US(110) and EU(220) power will fulfill all your needs. 3 full bathrooms will ensure no waiting for the facilities when needed. Can’t wait to return!!!

Lovely location well stocked but much of the furniture tired and uncomfortable ( not beds) need upgrading. Local hostess very helpful! Would not have booked had we known of drainage issues…odour and bowl emptying issues in one bathroom. Having said all of that…we had a lovely stay and the grandchildren loved garden and local area…feeding the local donkeys carrots on a regular basis!

This property was everything we could have asked for. It was very close to Castlebar and about 30 minutes for Westport. The owner was very thorough in her instructions and she seemed to anticipate any issues or questions we would encounter. Her local housekeeper was wonderful and answered any questions we had. This property was an absolute deal and when we go to Ireland again, we plan to stay there again!!! I highly recommend it.

Our family attended a wedding July 22nd at Breaffy House Resort. We were lucky to find Teach Mo Chroi’. Lovely home not far from Castlebar. Traveling from the US, it was great the house had US outlets in addition to Irish. This made using our electronics much easier. This home has everything will need to have a great vacation in Ireland. Highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to Ireland.

Teach Mo Chroi served as a beautiful, serene sanctuary for my family of 9 to create a home base while exploring the west of Ireland. The home was beautiful and spacious; allowing time together and moments alone, when needed. The spacious and well equipped kitchen was our gathering space for meals cooked together and game night with snacks. The views from every room drew you outdoors to take in the sights, sounds, and scents that create the mystical, magical world called Ireland. I can’t say enough about Karla (owner) and Maura (caregiver) and how responsive they were to our questions and needs during our stay. We did not want for anything! If you are looking for a home away from home, particularly from the US, take comfort in knowing this house has a large capacity washer/dryer and the convenience of 110v outlets for electronics. We stayed for 2 weeks and wish we could have stayed longer. We look forward to coming back as soon as we can!

This property is beautifully maintained with plenty of towels, bed linen, a spacious, well equipped kitchen and a superb utility room in which to dry our wet Walking clothes. The underfloor heating kept the property warm and very cosy. The bedrooms were all of an excellent size and very comfortable. The back yard and large garden were kitted out with seating, football nets, basketball hoop and afforded great views of Crook Patrick and the setting sun. It was with heavy hearts that we left this comfortable and exceptionally clean property.

We stayed at this property in July 2021 and it was a very enjoyable experience. The accommodation is better than a 5 star hotel, all the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were faultless. We loved the outdoor space and gardens and the wifi was excellent too. Could not recommend it highly enough. A totally lovely holiday.

The house was everything and more than what we expected. It was spotlessly clean and much bigger than we thought. Great for families

Just back from spending 4 nights in this beautiful home with my family. The house is spacious to adequately accommodate our party of 12. The house provided plenty of outside space for the kids to tire themselves out. Really made use of the football nets, the basketball hoop and the swings. House is immaculate and fully equipped with plenty of linen, towels, kitchen utensils, household amenities,books, games and even has an extensive DVD library. Karla is a wonderful host. I had a few queries to ask before our trip and Karla was extremely helpful, accommodating and very timely with her responses. Would definitely recommend to other family and friends to consider this home as a place to stay to unwind and relax and from which to explore this beautiful part of the world. We definitely made memories in Teach Mo Chroi. Only downside....... we didn't want to go home.

Excellent location, excellent facilities, comfortable and spacious while remaining cozy. The view of Croagh Patrick was great (when not overcast and there were many rainbows. We hope to go back again.

We loved staying here. Out in the country, but not too far from the city.

My family and I had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. Karla and Maura couldn’t have been more helpful, the thought and effort Karla puts into her guests comfort is impressive. The location is ideal for sightseeing, but save a day to enjoy the house and it’s beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend.

I chose this home because of it's location near relatives. It worked out perfectly! We were met in town by Maura & she led us to the house to give us a brief but thorough orientation. She took the time to give us some ideas of activities in the area. She was very welcoming! The house was warm & inviting. Very comfortable for 10 adults. It had touches of Ireland & America! No need for converters, large washer/dryer, hot water for everyone, large kitchen for everybody to gather. We were there during the Gaelic Football playoffs so my cousins 12 year old son was able to show us his skill & teach my kids how to play in the front yard. Great memories for everyone! I have already recommended this home to my family for an Ireland trip next year. Thank you for opening up your home to us! It was lovely! 😊 Trish C. (Channahon, IL)

We enjoyed every moment of our stay there and in the surrounding area . We did the Abby The West Port house , West Port town of course Delicious food everywhere we ate. Found the Country House and had another good meal . The children fed the Donkeys ---Donald and Trump --so the farmer told them --every day . We felt at home the moment we went down the driveway . Maura is lovely and gave us a good tour and explaind everything to us . So, thank you to Karla and Maura! We hope to rent from her in the future for a week and see more sights!

Teach mo Chroi was the perfect home base for exploring Mayo and Galway. Our family of 7 (ranging in age from 9 to mid 70s) loved the spaciousness of the home; we never felt cramped and appreciated that everything was on one floor. The kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything we needed for meals in and we enjoyed sitting out back taking in the beautiful view of Croagh Patrick (which 3 of us managed to hike to the summit of!) The children loved the large yard and feeding the nearby donkeys each day. The duel current in the home was an added bonus as was the large laundry room. During our stay we were able to visit Knock Shrine, Westport, Louisburgh, Leenaun, and Cong, along with Kylemore and Ballintubber Abbeys. All were an easy drive away. We also visited Ireland's School of Falconry at Ashford Castle and Joyce Country Sheepdogs in Connemara, both of which were favorites with the entire family. If ever our travels bring us back to the beautiful west of Ireland, we will surely return to this lovely home. Thank you, Karla!

Our family group of 12, including 5 children under 12 years of age, had sufficient room because of the lay-out. The property was clean, well-maintained, and very nicely furnished, and we had no issues with anything. The soccer field and basketball hoops were perfect for the kids [the soccer ball could not be inflated, but we had our own, so this was minor]. The local manager was very friendly and helpful. We definitely would recommend this property to friends who have families. The location was suitable for daily excursions in the region, and we were lucky: we never met anyone on the one-lane boreen!

My father and I rented this home for the second time, we stayed there two years ago. It felt just like coming home since we were already familiar with the wonderful features of the house. My father requires handicapped accessibility and this home provided that as well as plenty of room for my cousins who live in Ireland and Wales to come and stay with us. The kitchen is nice and large, and I was able to make several meals for our local family. One of the most convenient features is the ability to use our medical equipment and charge my phone without having to use an adapter. The house is always nice and clean and the window boxes were beautiful. We are looking forward to our next trip in 2019 and are planning to stay here again! Mary W. New Jersey

Read all the reviews, with few exceptions, they are 5 Star with glowing remarks about the Property, Location and Amenities. These evaluations played a large part in out decision. They are all true. There were five adults who spent three nights, May 14 - 16, 2017.This is a wonderful home, well furnished and very comfortable. The house is immaculate-clean, well appointed with good views of the countryside. The beds are outstanding, very comfortable and the bathrooms are modern and up to date. The kitchen has all that you need to prepare whatever kind of meal you desire. The caretaker met us at the door and the check in was very easy. She was helpful in getting us acclimated. The location is great. Close to both Westport and Castlebar. We made a one-day trip to South County Donegal, including towns of Donegal and Ardara. We also explored County Mayo including Connemara. All of this is within an easy days round-trip from this location. It was wonderful to return to such a first rate place to relax, unwind enjoy the privacy and views of the country side and get a great nights sleep. The price is all inclusive, no extra's or surprises. Would highly recommend.

This pretty, comfortable and well-equipped country house provided an excellent home base for us to explore County Mayo. The location is fabulous; the view off the back deck was divine, especially at sunset with the birdsong, fresh air, view of Croagh Patrick, and lambs bleating nearby. Our party of six slept comfortably and well; the bathrooms were modern and well-designed and the kitchen was perfect for cooking. The home is within driving distance of many popular and interesting places to visit, and we had a great time exploring the countryside by car and walking the local lanes around the home. The owner is warm, friendly, and responsive, and even went out of her way to help us connect with lost family. This was one of our most enjoyable and memorable vacations ever, and we can't wait to come back!

We stayed at Teach mo Chroi – Home of My Heart – cottage for a week this September and it was the perfect place for our group. From the gate, emerald green lawn, and flower-filled window boxes to the spacious interior, it is a lovely place, had everything we needed. It was very comfortable for our group of seven people. We enjoy gathering for meals and the large kitchen worked well for us. It was equipped with everything we needed and had a large round table where we ended up spending a lot of time. From the kitchen there is a view that includes what I think was Croagh Patrick, the mountain on the coast. We had cars, so the location in Ballintubber, not far from the bustling town of Westport, was very good for our day trips to Kylemore, Achill Island, Ballintubber Abbey, and excursions to Westport for dining and shopping. There is a large collection of DVDs and CDs (which we used), a library, and some sports equipment (which we did not use). The house was very clean, well-decorated and well-furnished. I came to Ireland earlier than the rest of the group and had corresponded with Karla, one of the cottage owners, about things to see and do near the cottage, in the towns along the West Coast of Ireland and even transportation options from the airport. She is a wealth of information and gave me great advice that helped make my travels really special; I had my own personal travel planner! This was a great place for me and my group of friends; we settled right in as if it were our home.

This is a large, well appointed house with lots of open space around it. Despite the rural setting, it is very close to all the facilities in Castlebar and Westport (about 15 min). It is also well centred for visiting all the tourist sights in the Galway-Mayo region. Although we were just two couples, there is plenty of room for more people or a large family. The kitchen is spacious for meal preparation and for eating. There is also excellent dining and hospitality at the nearby hotel opposite the Ballintubber Abbey. Highly recommended - I wished we could have stayed longer.

A perfect home away from home for our three generations. 8 and 12 year old boys, and the 49 year old played soccer in the yard, 4 climbed Crough Patrick, we explored Westport and Castlebar and the Abby and the seaside and 5,000 year old sites, and then returned to our lovely home away from home. House was warm and friendly, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Great to have the washer and dryer and WIFI and all that anyone needed in the way of kitchen equipment. From the beautiful flower boxes to the most comfortable beds, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
