AirBnB in Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo. This 200-year old, newly-modernised ex-farmhouse is full of character. Relax in the walled back garden gives real privacy. We live in a quiet country area, with beautiful walks right outside our door. 
Ballinrobe town is two miles away - a number of beautiful walks there, including The Green town park and the Bower's Walk. Village of Cong has miles of spectacular walks and trails - just six miles away.
