☀️ A Fantastic Family Day on Clare Island! 🌊

What a fantastic day we had on Clare Island—the Wednesday right after Mayo won the All-Ireland! Every event in Mayo now starts from the 26th of July.

The morning started out pretty wet and miserable as we packed up at The Yellow House,Self Catering Holiday Home, Westport and headed for Roonagh Pier.Grandparents, children, grandkids and family dog, Lottie. As luck would have it, the moment we arrived, the rain cleared right up! 🌦️➡️🌤️

We hopped on the Tormore with O'Malley Ferries for the quick 20-minute crossing—and huge thanks to the crew, who couldn't have been more helpful! ⛴️

By the time we stepped onto Clare Island, the sun was shining. We spent most of our time at Castle Cove, a lovely hidden gem tucked right beside Grace O’Malley’s 16th-century tower house. It’s a quiet alternative to the main Blue Flag beach, perfect for a peaceful dip right beneath the historic castle walls.

The grandkids had a ball swimming and playing on the beach, the old man even braved the water for a dip, and our madra spent the afternoon happily racing around the sand! 🐶🏊‍♂️

We finished off a brilliant day with some top-notch food at the Clare Island Community Centre and the Anchor Bar & Bistro. An absolute unforgettable family day out! ❤️

The Spirit of Reek Sunday at Croagh Patrick 🏔️🥾

Reek Sunday is always a truly special time of year in Westport as pilgrims and hikers gather from near and far to climb Croagh Patrick. There is a fantastic energy in the air as people take on the trail, taking in the panoramic views across Clew Bay. Add to that the excitement surrounding Mayo, with the team playing in the All-Ireland final on Sunday in Croke Park.

Here at The Yellow House, we love welcoming guests who travel to Westport to conquer the Reek—whether it’s for the annual pilgrimage, a long-planned family hike, or to enjoy the incredible landscape of County Mayo.

To everyone heading up the mountain this weekend: take your time on the path, bring plenty of water, wrap up a little for the summit, and enjoy every moment of the journey! ☀️

Gather round. The dining room seats the whole group and opens straight out to the patio, so breakfast, a Sunday roast, or a big family celebration all have a home here. 🎉
