The Hazel Hut

The peace and solitude

Could do with a toaster

Ein wunderschöner Ort inmitten von Schafen, Eseln, Bergen,fantastische Bäume Das Tony Haus ist super süß eingerichtet mit kleinem Garten.Man hört nur die Tiere und den Wind.Ein Erlebnis der schönen irischen Natur

Die Küchenutensilien waren nicht, Töpfe, Pfanne zerkratzt und der Herde klapperte Und im Bad wär sehr ein Regal

The remote quiet private stunning location

No Microwave

The remoteness and no phone service

Nothing

Beautiful place to get away from busy life. Perfect for therapy

Nothing to say

I liked all the amenities inside and it was very warm

There is no clear pathway which I understand and it was very mucky

We loved staying at the cozy Hazel Hut! The perfect getaway place to just relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. There’s everything you need and nothing more, which was perfect for us!Lisa is a very accommodating host and is super kind!

It is very remote and about 2 km drive in a sealed/unsealed road which meant we were complete alone. Lovely nature and animals around as well as the views of the mountains.

Only thing was my car is low which made it challenging driving to the parking place. But that was my issues, we loved everything about it.

The location is a slice of tranquility. As soon as you start the drive up the lane to the property you just know it's will be special. Surroundings are superb. Lovely scones with butter jam and supply of milk and water to make teas and coffee. The hazel hut is spotless tastefully decorated and an ample supply of firewood to keep the place toasty warm as well as the alternative gas heating. Enclosed garden so the dogs could get out was a real bonus. Comfortable bed. If your thinking about this place just do it. Oh and bring your walking boots because the location is so delightfully remote feeling you will need them.

This wasn't really a problem for me but if you think about catering you have a 2 gas burner so bring food accordingly ie pasta and rice with sauce dishes there is no oven but that should never put you off just be prepared

Gorgeous, cosy little shepherd's hut, in beautiful scenery. Great wood burning stove, easy to light, and actually too warm when I kept it going too long! The shower was surprisingly good, and the bed was really comfortable, I slept very well each night.

I would have liked to be able to look around me as I walked to and from the car, but there were sheep and donkey droppings everywhere and I didn't fancy cleaning my hiking boots standing in the rain, or bringing dirt into the hut or the car. So I had to keep my eyes on the ground and pick my way very carefully. I bought myself a little fold-up table, it was the only thing lacking in the hut's facilities. I wanted to do some writing, and the table was also more convenient for eating.

It was reasonably comfortable. We liked the remoteness of it. Scones and milk etc were great. Lisa was very helpful and allowed us a peep at the treehouse on their property which is also available, it was lovely and would be our choice if we return.

Access road is a very rocky farm lane followed by a short walk across a field, trying to avoid rushes, puddles and sheep sh;t. Hut was charming but wasn’t as clean as we expected, dirty fridge and utensils, completely stuffed vacuum cleaner and a few other items. Only 2 gas rings without grill or oven, even a toaster would be nice. Outside the access was via slippery wooden steps with no hand rail and enclosed grass area was just left as field but without any grazing. Unfortunately we had very wet weather during our stay, which worsened our experience and made trying to keep the hut clean, very difficult ( wet grass and sheep sh;t covered shoes)

Alles, einfach alles. So zauberhaft. Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft in einem tinyhouse, mitten im Paradies. Wer Ruhe sucht in einer wunderschönen Umgebung, der ist hier absolut richtig.

Zeer leuk verblijf op een prachtige locatie!

Le lieu est superbe, la roulotte est très cosy et la présence des moutons et des ânes est réjouissante. Le lieu invite à la détente.

Le slalom entre les crottes des animaux nécessite un entraînement et en nocturne la frontale est très utile 😉

Loved the peace and quiet, fabulous way to get away from a busy life and relax.

A very peaceful couple of days surrounded by fields and views of the hills. Loved watching the donkeys, sheep and hares, and the sun rise over Croagh Patrick. Just a 20min drive from Westport (some of it on country lanes). The ‘hut’ is cosy, comfortable and well equipped - it’s delightful.

It was summer in the countryside - covering up to avoid midges is to be expected

A peaceful location with a spectacular view on the Reek, two adorable donkeys that you can feed, waking up to birds chirping, well equipped kitchen with some welcome goodies from the hosts. A little pieces of paradise 🥰

I dont feel 5 stars is enough. We highly recommend the Hazel Hut. We absolutely loved everything about our stay. We were surrounded by natural beauty. The Hut had everything we needed,the bed was extremely comfortable, the hosts were so helpful. We will definitely try our best to get back again for another stay. Thank you. A beautiful part of Ireland 🇮🇪

We loved the location, very quiet. The hut is lovely and the bed was very comfortable. We were able to light a fire in the garden and in the hut.

Remote and quiet.

We loved everything about our stay! We were so sad to leave. Seclusion was exactly what we were looking for and the Hazel Hut delivered! Beautiful views, comfy bed and the indoor fireplace kept us nice and cozy. Wish we could have stayed longer.

what a lovely place - it was amazing. we enjoyed it very much.

The location was beautiful and the perfect place for me to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hut was cosy and well designed with everything that I could possibly need. Looking out of my window from my bed to see Croagh Patrick was a fantastic way to start the day. Finally, the donkeys were a wonderful addition. Friendly and inquisitive, they put a smile on my face as soon as I saw them.

The beautiful hut itself,the location,facilities,calmness,quietness,the donkeys,the sheep,the stream,the views,the peacefulness,the cleanliness,the freedom

We should have stayed longer

Beautiful location! Quiet and peaceful. Magical with the sheep and donkeys there. Best sleep we have had in Ireland!

Water in shower drains slowly.

The location was beautiful, surrounded by mountains farm land and a lovely stream

The hut, although very charming is in need of some TLC and a makeover. The outside area needs tidying up and it would be a good idea if they could put a small level graveled area for sitting on

So secluded and peaceful with gorgeous accommodation. Bed was really comfy, shower was fantastic. Loved it

I can't think of anything

We stayed in The Hazel Hut for a weekend hike to Croagh Patrick. The hut is approx. 12 min drive to Croagh Patrick car park. It is also located in a remote but wonderful and peaceful place in the fields with stunning views of the mountains, the fields with sheep and donkeys, and a nearby creek. The hut itself had the essential stuff we needed, and the wood burner stove kept the place warm on chilly evenings. Thank you Lisa & Chris.

The location

Nothing

We had an amazing stay at the beautiful Hazel Hut. The location was magical, with Croagh Patrick in full view through the windows of the hut every morning. The sheep and donkeys really added to the country atmosphere too :) The hut itself is gorgeous and has everything you could need or want. We spent one of our evenings enjoying the landscape, drinking tea and reading some books left in the hut. It is only a twenty minute drive from Westport, so we also enjoyed heading into town for dinner. The next morning, we set off to climb the mountains. Would highly recommend it, and we are already looking forward to paying another visit soon. Thank you so much x

Nothing Everything was great.

a bit more active 🌹

The Hazel Hut was perfect for our stay in Mayo. It was a 20 minute drive to Westport town, with the most incredible views of Croagh Patrick. With the wood burner on, it was incredibly cozy and we looked forward to coming back to the hut after a day of exploring. Can’t wait to come back! Would highly recommend a stay here for an authentic country feel, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

What a wonderful place! So peaceful and such a beautiful setting. Everything about the Hazel Hut was perfect and I would love to return for another visit.

Nothing.

Omg what an experience. I was to stay in hotel in westport. And this came up on site so I went for the hut .I'm so glad I did was amazing I'll definitely back again .

The property is in a beautiful, tranquil, private setting adjacent to a little river. We also found the host to be very helpful and accommodating!

The road up was poor and from the parking to the hut a better path is needed. The walk in made it very difficult to avoid dragging dirt into the room, especially when it's wet.

Our second stay, and won't be our last. No matter the weather, this is just simply about chilling out, relaxing, and unwinding

Everything

Wonderful location in the best part of Ireland. A truly iconic location and view

The location is absolutely stunning. You are completely surrounded by nature and the decor inside the hut is really lovely. In response to the hosts comment I will reiterate that we paid in full for our stay and didn't ask for a refund and have absolutely no reason to make up the issue with the sewage tank. I think the passive aggresive response speaks volumes. This was a balanced review as we said the location was lovely but in honesty we had an issue with the sewage tank meaning that we couldn't stay for our second night. We travel for a living and know issues like this can arise unexpectantly and were very understanding. We weren't asking for anything in return. We sacrificed our second night in the hut at our own cost we just wanted to let the host know to fix it for future guests. The original payment didn't go through because we use a Revoult card for online booking as it is more secure (the card was only charged the day before we were due to arrive). It was seen as a suspicious charge and the card was frozen until we could confirm we had made the booking. We were travelling and messaged the host as soon as we saw the issue that we wanted to proceed with payment ( message wasn't sent at 4:09am it was due to time difference). It took 43 messages of the host being unable to figure out how to release the dates so we could rebook them. We asked was it possible to pay directly. There was no pressure. Eventually the host freed up the wrong dates for 3 days (we only booked 2)and we were told to pay for those and the 3rd date we could donate to charity despite us not even wanting to stay a 3rd night!! The host took full payment for the two nights we had booked and did not "donate this to charity". We were extremely complimentary about other aspects of the hut on our blog (which we provided for free to support local business) and our Instagram but were shocked by how the hosts acknowledged our concerns about this serious issue.

We had a major issue with a strong smell and gas coming back into the hut from the sewage tank. It was so bad and made us both sick so we couldn’t stay for the second night that we had paid for. We had to sleep with the windows open on the first night and were gagging brushing our teeth. The only emergency numbers we were given were U.K. numbers and we couldn’t access these as they were given online and we had no service out at the hut. We understand these things can happen and we weren’t upset just sad we couldn’t stay for both nights we had booked. We didn’t ask for a refund nor were we offered one. The most upsetting thing was that when we contacted the host it was claimed that there was no problem before we arrived and no problem after inferring that we had just made it up. As if you would sacrifice a night you had already paid for for no reason. Very disappointing experience. There was no immediate response to our concern of gas. Someone was only sent the following morning because the host "wanted it to build up". Nor was there a welcome pack on the kitchen counter with emergency numbers. Video taken immediately upon entering the hut confirms this. I think this is yet another attempt at gaslighting by the host. We have no concerns about the sewage problem being resolved but we would have concerns for anyone who books and has any issue and it can be seen how the host handles a problem with paying guests. They only seem to appreciate good reviews and not learn and grow from critical ones. We have travelled all over the world and have never had an issue handled so poorly or had the blame thrown back on us. The area is remote and understandably reception is poor and I'm sure the hosts have figured out hotspots for their own network but all networks differ and for us there was no signal there. An online welcome pack could not be accessed in an emergency.

a rural retreat - peaceful and remote . beautifully furnished

be aware of how remote it is

Me and Jess Really enjoyed our stay, thank you so much. It was a hidden gem that we stumbled across and really glad we did now. Escape from the real world for a weekend. So peaceful, really lucky with the weather, we didn't even need to light the stove. The donkeys greeted us, we brought carrots. Everyone was happy. The hut had everything we needed and more. Thanks for leaving scones, milk etc very thoughtful. The journey in and out the country road with sheep laying on the roadside is a typical Irish scene you would see in a film. It added to the adventure. Local taxi firms who left us out even had a wee giggle to themselves. Couldn't fault it and who knows in the future could be back. Thank you.

This place was like a bit of heaven so relaxing did not meet the Host but they were in contact to make sure everything was ok which I found very reassuring great place to rewind and watch the world go bye we were so lucky to come across this little hut on booking.com will definitely visit again and have told all our friends and family about this wonderful place

Class spot

I don't think you could find a more rural location if that's your thing. We loved the views, the comfort, the hut, the donkeys!! Lisa was very accommodating, it was the perfect weekend!

Just the directions, maybe a sign at the main road as the eircode wasn't accurate but this is easily fixed and didn't take from weekend!

If you love nature, peace and quiet, then this is the place for you. Nestled in the mountains it is somewhere you come to nourish the soul. Myself, my husband and our golden retriever spent 3 cosy nights here. We had everything we needed. The stove was so lovely in the evening and the fire pit too. The donkeys really made our stay, coming over to say hi every time they saw us. The carrots helped 😂 We left rested and grateful.

Nothing really!

Everything, this is definitely for couples, and for those who really appreciate getting back to nature, with peace and quiet. It's location is just something out of the likes of the 'QUIT MAN' movie. Just sublime 😍

Having to come home

Lovely and cosy little hut with amazing views. Loved that it had all facilities, nothing was missing for good comfort (heat, hot water, cooker). The interior design is also lovely, fits the location so well. The morning view is amazing, i’m sure the sunset is as lovely but missed it. Hope to spend more time there in the future, it is for sure a go back location.
