The setting of this house is spectacular ~ looking out over Crough Patrick ~ with the ever changing skies and tides and the birdsong. The caretaker is very friendly and helpful. Four comfortable beds with lovely linens. The library of 3000 books many of them on Ireland, literature, philosophy, and nature and on the West gave a great support to our learning. A nicely equipped modern kitchen beautifully designed. Our one recommendation ~ bring a sharp knife with you and a vegetable peeler.

A breathtaking view over Croagh Patrick and the bay is the best point of this house. The location is excellent if you want to discover what County Mayo and Connemara can offer you. The house has got a special and personal atmosphere. If you are looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy your stay, then you have found the perfect address. Westport provides you with all the facilities and some good restaurants are only a kilometer away. The keeper offered us a warm welcome and some good advice too.

We recently stayed in Helensville with our 4 children for a week. House was clean spacious well equipped & very private. The location was excellent within walking distance of Quay area of Westport. Kitchen appliances were all new and kitchen was well equipped. Limited wifi was slight drawback.

Much of the house is like an Agatha Christie set with old and damaged furniture. Where there has been refurbishment it is shoddy. There is a smell of damp and mould in the bedrooms, the mattresses are worn out, there is little in the way of useful info on what to do when for example the showers trip (which they do), there is mould growing and flaking paint on the walls, some curtain rails are either missing or hanging off the walls. The overall impression is of owners who have gone away and made little attempt to set the house up as a holiday let. Pros are a good location and reasonably cheap.



Great house overlooking Clew Bay

Seven of us a fabulous week at Helensville House in July....the house is perfect with a lovely sitting room with views over the bay and Croke Patrick (sometimes it was there and sometimes it disappeared in the mist!) The owners have a wonderful collection of books especially if you are interested in Philosophy and plenty of games. The space is roomy and feels like home from home. I would definitely rent the house again when we were in Mayo. For kids, there is a huge lawn in front where you can play football or..

There is a great pub just up the road with good food and a bit of craic. You can walk into the Quay area where there are more restaurants and pubs and plenty of music in the town itself.

Helensville House is a lovely house in a perfect location for a family holiday. The views of Clew Bay and Croagh Patrick are spectacular. The general standard of the house and furnishings is high. My only comment is that there is too much furniture and lots of ornaments making some rooms feel cluttered.

The house has lots of extras like footballs, board games, and hundreds of books.
