Guestbook for Sea Meadow
" We loved everything about this light-filled holiday home. The house has a lovely open fireplace, a well-equipped open kitchen and corner windows to emphasize the glorious views of Clew Bay. The roomy bedrooms were very comfy and outside, the garden is big enough for kids of all ages to run wild! We walked to Old Head Beach for our swims and took the ferry (a 15 minute drive) to Clare Island for a great day out.
The brave among us climbed Croak Patrick, the rest of us settled into the pub to wait for them! And Westport with its great cafes and restaurants and pubs filled with music is only 12 miles away. Our family couldn't think of any better holiday."
"An ideal place"
"Incredible views -- on one side, Croagh Patrick; on the other, Clew Bay. Convenient to Westport and Louisburgh for shopping/dining, yet retains a countryside feel. Above all, a beautifully designed cottage -- appealing on every level, both aesthetic and practical. Great folks and and great value, too."
Our second time in the cottages and I am certain we will be back again!..Some wonderful walks - we loved Silver Strand. We will miss those views of the ocean and mountains each day when we have our breakfast! Thanks to Bruce for looking after us and the welcome pack.
Great House, amazing beaches, good weather. What more could you ask for! Hope we will be back.
