Cillcoman Lodge , County Mayo

"Would recommend for cowboys! Recently, I decided to take a trip to Westport, County Mayo, as it is one of my favourite places in Ireland to visit. I especially enjoy visiting the gorgeous Westport House and Gardens. I had just finished renting out a house to a group of students, which I did out of the goodness of my heart and definitely not to make my pockets bigger. However, these ungrateful students had the gumption to ask for their deposits back after they’d moved out. When I inspected the property, I was horrified at the state of the place. There were wrinkles on the tablecloth! The floorboards had specks of dust on them! There were tiny chips of paint on the walls, about the size of two-euro coins! Can you imagine? Oh, and here’s the worst part… the frying pans were burnt! How dare they use the utensils supplied to them? Anyway, after that horrendous ordeal, I felt that a relaxing holiday was needed. After all, I had just made 1200 euro a month, in cold hard cash, from these students and didn’t pay a cent in tax on it; what else was I going to spend all that money on? After scouring the internet to find some nice B&B’s and hotels to spend my hard-earned income on, I came across Cilcoman Lodge, only a 4-minute drive from Westport House. I have to say, I was very impressed with the service! The beds were very soft and comfortable. I slept like a baby on them, knowing that as a landlord I can do whatever I want with my tenants’ money and wouldn’t face any repercussions. The location was ideal, being only a few minutes' driving distance from the town centre, and it was only a stone's throw from the harbour. The Wi-Fi connection was always efficient and allowed me to scour the internet for ways I can get more money off poor students whose parents’ bank accounts are already sucked dry from paying huge tuition fees. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! Is it just me, or does a Full Irish taste even better after you’ve just made 10 grand off a group of students who just need beds to sleep on? Overall, I greatly enjoyed my stay at Cilcoman Lodge and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice break away from the stresses of daily life and from people moaning about the housing crisis (whatever that is)."

"Lovely house, beautiful views, great host!"

"Stayed one night in this lovely B&B. The owners were friendly and the home had a lovely view of the harbour. It was walking distance to Westport which was a beautiful and friendly town with lots of pubs. I would recommend staying here if you are visiting Westport. Oh, almost forgot to mention the wonderful Irish breakfast!"

"Great bnb. Mary and her husband were extremely friendly and accommodating ( especially since we had nowhere booked on a very wet night in high season) We got their last room which was a family room. it consisted of 2 double beds and a single , great size. Would highly recommend."

"Cillcoman Lodge B&B is a family run bed and breakfast accommodation in Westport County Mayo. Mary and her family wil take great care of you. This is one of the longest established B&B in Westport."
