Tribute from Satisfied Visitors
Just returned to Chicago from a month-long trip to Ireland, thanks to finding "Molloy Cottage" outside Swinford. I can assure you that it's a hidden gem nestled in the rolling hills of Mayo with the beauty of the ever-present Ox Mountains to be enjoyed from the many large windows in the Cottage. It's more than a cottage ... very well equipped with everything anyone would need to cook in or sit and relax in front of the fire after a day of touring. Pat and his wife Gertie are also gems. Most hospitable and ready to take care of any needs as they arose. Their holiday house is definitely worth promoting for anyone looking for privacy and relaxation in the heart of Mayo.
Best wishes, Anne Carney
