My wife, three children and I are looking forward to returning to the Coast Guard House. The Howards are gracious owners who went out of their way to help me in my ancestry research both before we arrived and during our stay. We enjoyed being surrounded by the farm and the water, frolicking on the beach, and warming up by the peat fire. The accommodations were exceedingly comfortable and tastefully appointed.

Just wanted to write a review that would reflect how we feel about our trip to the Coastguard house and to thank its owners, Laurence Junior, Myra & Laurence Senior for allowing us to experience the magic that Claggan Island has to offer.

We left a little lighter in our hearts having made the most of the wonderful house, views, sunrise walks on beach, peace & tranquillity and it was balm to our souls. It was hard to return to our busy city living!

The house exceeded our expectations with the quality & careful thought that has gone into not only its design but the care in which each & every possible need has been catered for from the perfectly equipped kitchen to the comfortable coastguard tower/sitting room which has views out to Belmullet, we particularly enjoyed the twinkling lights of Belmullet in the distance by night. The bedrooms are large, spacious & very comfortable with beautiful bed linen, furniture & plenty of towels etc...We were so pleased with the quality of everything & felt that the level of luxury was very unusual for a rental property.

We certainly will return to Claggan Island & this wonderful, unique coastguard retreat, with easy enough proximity to the Great Western cycling greenway, we aim to return and to traverse the Greenway once more; it was the reason originally why we came to Mayo but Claggan Island & the Erris peninsula has added to it & more!
