Two Old Head Wood sits on the edge of Clew Bay, 300 metres from one of Ireland's loveliest Blue Flag beaches and surrounded by some of the country's most dramatic landscape. A 4-bedroom house designed for families and groups who want space to breathe, room for the kids to run, and water views that don't quit.

"Woke up to seals on Old Head, spent the morning kayaking, afternoon in Westport town. This is what a holiday should feel like."

The living space opens to floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Clew Bay. On the south-facing deck you can watch Croagh Patrick catch the light. Louisburgh village is a gentle 2km cycle away for coffee and supplies, and Westport - all restaurants, galleries, and traditional music - is just 15 minutes by car. But the real draw is the space itself: the mountain, the bay, the oak forest behind, the endless walk along the shore.

Everything you need.

Hi - I'm John. What can I help with?
Is the beach safe for kids?
Yes - Blue Flag means lifeguards, safe swimming, shallow entry. Low tide is best for paddling. I can recommend spots for each age.
