401 The Covent Leenane-5 Bedrooms-Sleeps 11

The House: This unique property is a former convent is located in a stunning location on Killary Fjord. The Killary is Irelands only Fjord, a long deep inlet in the Atlantic coast. Its location offers incomparable views of Connemara and Mayo mountains. The house is located just a few minutes walk from the beautiful village of Leenane which has a couple of good pubs and restaurants for you to enjoy a good pint of Guinness or some local seafood. Leenane is famous for being the village in the famous movie “The Field”.

With the sea in front and hills surrounding you, this is the perfect location for any hillwalkers, adventure sports enthusiasts or active families. There is a great walk known as “The Famine Road” along side the Killary toward the sea or why not travel the Western Way to the Inagh Valley. There is trout and Salmon fishing nearby and numerous beaches just a short drive away.

This is also a great location for discovering all of Connemara while only being 30 minutes from the stunning Mayo town of Westport. This is the perfect house for a large family, 2 families together, a gathering or even a small business meeting group.

Inside: This unique property is just full to the brim of character. You enter through a welcoming hallway with two living rooms off it. To the left is a cosy sitting room with a large TV with Sky Channels. On your right is a further sitting room with more comfy couches and an open fire to enjoy. Off this is a beautiful, bright airy conservatory perfect to enjoy a glass of wine before dinner or to relax with a morning coffee and a book.

Also on the ground floor you will find a kitchen and a large store room. As this is was a B&B you will find a well equip kitchen with a large gas cooker and oven. The most unique part of this property is the old chapel. This large room makes a perfect dining room or meeting room. With many of the original features, including the stain glass windows, this space adds a really exceptional feel to your stay.

Upstairs you will find 5 ensuite bedrooms – three double rooms, one twin and one bedroom with a double and a single. All bedrooms have a TV also.

The area has many wonderful sandy beaches and you will find the laid back village way of life is contagious!

We enjoyed our stay at the Convent. Ten people fit fine each room with individual bathroom. Walk into town and situated for Westport or Clifden.

There were 2 families, a total of 8 of us and the house suited us perfectly with room to spare! The location is stunning! The host, Sean, met us at check-in and walked us through the house. He was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. We loved our time there and would recommend it highly!
