Mayo B&Bs
B&Bs in Mayo for Westport, Achill and the Wild Atlantic Way
Mayo covers Croagh Patrick, Achill Island's cliffs and beaches, and the Cong countryside where The Quiet Man was filmed, with Westport acting as the county's natural hub for restaurants, live music and road access to everywhere else.
Westport
Westport is consistently rated among Ireland's best towns to visit, built around a Georgian layout with the Carrowbeg river running through it, and it sits at the foot of Croagh Patrick with Clew Bay and its islands close by.
Achill Island
Achill, connected to the mainland by bridge, has some of Ireland's best beaches at Keel and Keem Bay alongside the deserted village at Slievemore. A B&B on the island itself, rather than in Westport, is worth it for anyone planning more than a single day there.
B&Bs in Cong and south Mayo
Cong, straddling the Mayo and Galway border on the shores of Lough Corrib, is best known as the filming location for The Quiet Man and gives access to Ashford Castle's grounds, a quieter alternative to basing yourself on the coast.

Not sure where to base yourself?Mayo B&Bs for Ballina, the Céide Fields and Knock
North Mayo runs at its own pace, built around salmon rivers, sea stacks and one of the oldest field systems on earth, with its own airport quietly serving the whole region.
Ballina and the Moy valley
Ballina holds one of Mayo's biggest guesthouse clusters, and the River Moy running through it is one of Europe's most productive salmon rivers. The north coast beyond leads to Downpatrick Head's sea stack and the Céide Fields, a Neolithic field system preserved under the bog.
Knock and Ireland West Airport
Knock's basilica and shrine draw pilgrims year round, and Ireland West Airport beside it connects Mayo directly to Britain and Europe, making a Knock or Castlebar B&B a practical first night for anyone flying into the west rather than Dublin.

Frequently asked
B&Bs in Mayo, common questions
Is it worth staying on Achill Island itself?
If you're spending more than a day exploring Achill's beaches and cliffs, staying on the island rather than driving in from Westport saves a significant amount of driving time each day.
How far is Westport from Croagh Patrick?
Croagh Patrick is a short drive from Westport, close enough that many B&Bs in the town are a practical base for climbing it without needing to relocate.
Can I cycle between Westport and Achill?
Yes, the Great Western Greenway follows the old railway line from Westport through Newport and Mulranny to Achill, traffic-free the whole way, and B&Bs at either end make a one-way ride with a taxi or bus back an easy day.
Which airport is handiest for Mayo?
Ireland West Airport at Knock is inside the county and under an hour from Westport and Ballina, a far shorter transfer than driving across from Dublin.
