Helens Self Catering

Lovely property Location Views Comfortable Friendly host

-

It a truly beautiful location and the weather even cleared for us to get a cracking sunset over Croagh Patrick. It was warm and comfortable with all the amenities you'd expect plus breakfast was provided, which was unexpected, very tasty and really appreciated. We were met by Majella at a local service station and followed her to the property to ensure we found it and knew the way back if we wanted to go out again. She showed us through the property, explained how things worked like the heating and then left us to it. A lovely touch and a location we'd recommend to anyone who wants a bit of peace and quiet with beautiful views.

Buena ubicación, Marjela fue muy amable. La casa es grande y acojedora.

Sehr nette Kommunikation mit der Eigentümerin. Toll ausgestattete Wohnung mit allem was man braucht. Sehr ruhig, schön gelegen um den Norden und Nordwesten zu erkunden.

Accueil très chaleureux. Logement confortable et cosy. Surprise : petit déjeuner irlandais dans le frigo.

Although breakfast wasn't part of the deal there was bacon and sausages in the fridge for us. There was also cereal, tea bread butter and sugar available.

It met our needs completely and there is nothing else I could suggest.

Fantastic location, very cosy and comfortable. Incredibly friendly host! Wonderful views of Croagh Patrick, peaceful and calm. Would definitely come back again.

Toilet needs quite some time to refill for the next flush.

L emplacement au calme, une superbe vue

We were unable to cook and use the pan was completely in a terrible state and gone. Rest was excellent.

Très confortable et très bien équipé. Petit déjeuner fourni et feu dans le poêle prêt à démarrer. Calme et beau paysage.

Un peu éloigné du centre ville mais voir un lièvre au réveil dans le jardin, ça à un prix !

Warmth of welcome

Bit isolated

Super accueil de l'hôte, maison propre et chaleureuse

Przemiła gospodyni, mieliśmy zostawione dodatkowo śniadanie

We had a lovely stay in Mayo in Helens Self Catering. Our host met us and very kindly showed us the house and chatted with us. The house was lovely with spectacular views. Really nice snacks on arrival, which the kids promptly devoured after the long drive. The house was just 10 mins outside of where we were going out for the evening in Castlebar, so it was so convenient. And a lovely breakfast was left ready for us that we enjoyed very much the next morning, before hitting the road again. Our stay in Helens Self Catering has left a lasting good impression with us and we appreciate the thoughtfulness and kindness from our hosts.

Nothing we did not like.

The accommodation was spacious & clean.Majella was a lovely friendly lady.The scenery was great

Lack of working TV channels

Breakfast was excellent all was needed for our stay.

It's a home away from home, very comfortable and warm. The Christmas tree was beautiful. The kids loved it. Majella started the fireplace and helped us settle in well. Thanks to the amazing host.

The accommodation was comfy, clean & warm. Majella met us in the village for directions to the property & the lovely gesture of having the bacon & sausages in the fridge for us for brekkie in the morning was really appreciated.

This property had everything we wanted! The hospitality was 10/10. There was a very homely feel with the fire on and breakfast in the fridge with tea/coffee provided! Majella was extremely helpful even gave us a lift into town which we really appreciated. She also catered to early check in at 2pm. I would 100% recommend and only 15 mins outside Castlebar. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Had a wonderful time here. We were going to a wedding at Breaffy House and Majella kindly dropped us over to Breaffy and let us drop off our bags before the check in time. The beds were comfortable, the house was lovely and warm and the supplies in the fridge to cook a fry in the morning were very appreciated. Would definitely stay again !

Everything was perfect. Host was amazing. Would definitely stay again

I would highly recommend it . It was like a home away from home the minute we stepped inside it just felt like a home

Lovely area, stunning view. Very welcoming host. The place was spacious and clean, and the host provided everything at our disposal, very accommodating. We will definitely be revisiting in the future. We highly recommend it.

Oh my God, one of the most beautiful and magnificent accommodations in the Castlebar area! The owner lived next door, so he was very accommodating to our arrival, and even came out to drive us to the apartment, which can be useful for inexperienced drivers due to the small roads. The house itself is stately, in a very pleasant environment, with a huge kitchen, living rooms, fireplace, it can enchant those who come there at any time of the year!

Anyone who finds fault here is deliberately trying to be sarcastic.

Sehr schöne große Wohnung!

Great peaceful location set among rolling farms with views to the mountains including Croagh Patrick. Comfy and spacious home with everything we needed for our three nights stay. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals in. Large yard and car parking space as well as private outdoor seating area. Hosts live on the property too, but places felt very separate and private. Hosts were responsive and helpful. Check in and out were easy. Breakfast supplies were appreciated. Would recommend.

Logement grand, propre et au calme! Il y a tout l'équipement nécessaire pour plusieurs jours de vacances ! Un grand merci pour les petits déjeuners offerts, nous avons beaucoup apprécié !

Le confort, tres adapté à une famille de 4 avec jeunes enfants. La localisation et également géniale. Nous aurions aimé rester plus longtemps.

Great location Clean and tidy Beautiful, beautiful setting. Wonderful host

Nothing

Everything. The house was spotless and comfortable and had everything we could need. Majella welcomed us & made sure we knew she was around if we needed anything (which we didn’t because everything was covered). When she said breakfast would be in we expected maybe cereal, milk, a few tea bags. But there was the making of a full Irish in the fridge! Location was perfect for Castlebar & Westport and we had the perfect base to come back & relax in after climbing Croagh Patrick. We will definitely be back.

Majella was so accommodating and met us at a local petrol station to bring us to the house which was a lovely touch! Breakfast items were left out for us and we had a fabulous stay.

The view from the kitchen was great.

.

Spacious and with everything you would possibly need. Wish we could have stayed for a week. Best accommodation on our trip so far!!!

The step up leading to the bedrooms was a safety hazard when going back and using the bathroom at night, although appreciated the extra night lighting and handrails to help prevent missing this step but still need to be aware of it. Most of everyone in our family missed this step but luckily didn’t fall to the ground, yikes!

Beautiful place. Gorgeous sunsets.

Relaxing, beautiful house, nice and warm, breakfast provided and firewood perfect Easter trip

Great stay, beautiful accomodation, great host, place was spotless, great breakfast! Really enjoyed our stay thank you 😊

Meet the owner she was extremely nice and brought us to the house. It's surrounded by country side with lovely view and so quite and peaceful.

Everything. The house, the area, the island!

There is nothing we can think of.

The place was spotless. The host was highly accommodating. House had everything you could possibly need. For a family with two young kids, it was a home away from home. The two sitting rooms and two TVs were great, as was the stove. Netflix app on the smart TV, so I was able to sign in on my own account. The lads loved the DVD novelty. Nice firm bed. Bedrooms adjacent to echother. Very quiet with lovely views of Croack Patrick and Nephin. Will stay again.

Majella, couldn't have been more helpful. The house was cosy and perfect for a stay in the west of Ireland

Everything was well organized and amazing facilities. Thank you so much for wonderful stay 👍👍

Very cosy and well equipped home. The hosts couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating. Would highly recommend a visit here. We are looking forward to our next trip here

Everything, it was so warm & cozy. The area so peaceful & tranquil with gorgeous scenery & it had everything a person could need.

Majella,the host.location is beautiful.

The house was nice and cozy.

It’s in a quiet area and the air was so fresh. The fireplace makes it very cozy. Majella was very sweet. She left us some bacon, eggs, sausages and milk in the fridge and we had them for breakfast. We also cooked some seafood for dinner as all the essential things were there.

A bit dusty around some places.

Fantastic accommodation, It offers a homely and comfortable experience. The place is located in a prime area, it provides easy access to nearby attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring the surroundings. We enjoyed stunning views of the scenic landscape, and had a relaxing atmosphere. The property is exceptionally clean and cozy, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to ensure a welcoming stay. On-site parking is available. Whether you're seeking a peaceful getaway or a home-away-from-home experience, I highly recommended the place for its comfort, location, and outstanding service.

Quiet idyllic spot with beautiful views. Majella is a genuine host. She was kind enough to drop us into castlebar and recommended a few spots.

Views and accommodation were amazing... hosts were even better... so helpful.

Very comfortable, spacious, clean apartment. Extremely well equipped. Our host welcomed us in person and clearly cares. The food for breakfast was greatly appreciated. We only stayed one night: on our way north from Kerry. If we had known how pleasant the accommodation waa we would have arranged to stay there longer.

Amazing holiday accommodation, everything you would need plus more, very comfortable and clean, a home away from home, a great base to tour all the beautiful sights of mayo

How easy it was to book..The owner Majella. very helpful and had the makings of a breakfast each morning.. Lovely comfortable house and very clean.Location was perfect your near alot of main towns and attractions.

Had to go home. 😁

It's an amazing place with a beautiful location and a wonderful host. Everything was just PERFECT ❤️

Nice view/location, very responsive host, goodies in the fridge - nice touch, very clean, warm, nice leaving room.

Everything was great!

Peaceful spot for the night with everything we needed and lovely breakfast foods for us to cook. Owner was kind to meet us and escort us to the accommodation

Everything! Communication was prompt, informative, extremely helpful and friendly. Majella met us to guide us to the property, which we really appreciated. We were provided with dinner items, after we had made enquiries where we could purchase local items. The homestay was warm & inviting. Views are stunning! Homestay was equipped with everything we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Majella!

Just a great place! Majella was super friendly and so helpful. Definitely recommend unless you don't enjoy peace 👌!

🤔........that Trump wasn't thrown in jail while we were there.

Rural and quiet

Location quite, safe and plenty of space. Garden is well kept and cottage clean, cosy and spacious. Beds comfortable. The host is very friendly and welcoming. We found some essentials for the morning. Definitely would go back there.

Majella was a lovely host who met us in the town to show us to the house. The house was superb and we were left with all the breakfast supplies for the morning. We couldn’t have asked for better service. The house was lovely and spacious and the country side views were spectacular.

Everything is super very nice and we enjoyed our stay

The house was lovely and Helen is a fantastic host. It was very clean and cosy, with so much on offer. The views toward Party and Aughagower were beautiful. Its very convenient for castlebar Town if you have a car. We were offered a lift if required. One of the nicer places I've stayed.

We were met as arranged and showed to the property. The accommodation was located in a very quiet place with fab views, but not too remote. The sausage, bacon and eggs to make breakfast was a lovely touch. Plenty of coffee, tea, milk and sugar also oil for cooking and salt and pepper. Very comfortable place to stay.
