Erris Head House Reviews

We had an excellent stay at Erris Head House. Communication from Sykes and Delia, our host, was top notch. Checkin was simple and flexible. A warm fire was going when we arrived, with fruit and goodies left for us in the spacious kitchen. The farm and ocean views from the house were inspiring and the sunset walks we took up to Erris Head were simply stunning. The home was clean and tidy and Delia was only a text away if we had any questions. She made a plug available for charging our car, which was super helpful, and went above and beyond to help us track down a lost item in towneven taking the time and trouble to ship it to us. She was a rock star when we needed her, yet otherwise never saw her. Such a peaceful stay in a beautiful location. Highly recommend.
This was an excellent stay for our family of 7 adults and 1 infant. Positioned next to a breath taking walk and beautiful cliff and ocean it was in a prime location. The host Delia was so helpful and friendly .. she did everything to make us enjoy our Easter break . The cleanliness and condition of the property was first class. Delia even baked some delicious scones and soda bread to make our stay even more comfortable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this wonderful place.
Excellent location and perfect 5 bedroom house. Very quite country roads nearby, perfect for children. Also very close to the scenic erris head loop walk. Very friendly host provided us with scones and cake on our first day. Highly recommend the property.

We had a really lovely time at Erris Head House the surroundings were so impressive and beautiful, and Delia and her husband were so welcoming and friendly. They gave us great recommendations for beaches and eating out, and we really enjoyed ourselves. It is a beautiful part of Ireland. The house was great and the kids loved being so close to the animals and seeing the sheep being sheared! Living room was a little small for our party, but there were 12 of us. Kitchen was perfect, and the place was lovely and clean.

The house was very spacious and remarkably well equipped. It's located right at the beginning of the spectacular Erris Head Loop. It's also a good base for exploring all the wonderful local beaches.
