ACCOMMODATION
REVIEW
Situated in an area of unrivalled natural beauty, Teach Iorrais
Hotel is certainly one of the finest hotels in this area of Mayo.
Standing on the spectacular Geesala (Gaoth Sáile) Peninsula
just below the Mullet Peninsula, Teach Iorrais is a purpose built
hotel, ideal for golfers, and boasts breathtaking views of the Atlantic
Ocean and the Nephin Mountain Range. Situated in the heart of Mayo's
Gaeltacht (Gaelic speaking area) region, visitors can explore rural
Ireland and sample life in a different era, while Teach Iorrais
is absolutely ideal for golf at Carne, Enniscrone and Westport.
Offering guests a very high standard of comfort,
Teach Iorrais features 30 tastefully decorated en-suite guestrooms
and one impressive master suite. The majority of the rooms overlook
the Mullet Peninsula and offer spectacular views of the Atlantic
Ocean and surrounding landscape. Guests are free to relax in the
Beár Synge Bar, named after Irish playwright, John Millington
Synge, or sample the authentic Irish cuisine in intimate and relaxing
surroundings of the Néifinn Restaurant.
When not playing golf, there is much to distract
the visitor in this most ruggedly beautiful of landscapes. The
town of Ballina is within an hour from the hotel and offers a
rich variety of pubs and restaurants, while for the fisherman
the area really is paradise. Flowing through Ballina, the River
Moy is internationally acknowledged as an exceptional salmon fishery
and each year in July, Ballina ignites into a frenzy of activity
with its annual Salmon Festival. Over recent years, this has developed
into one of Ireland's major festivals, providing a weeklong feast
of free entertainment in the form of music, song, theatre, art,
heritage and culture.
