The story of Éalú
Éalú (Ay-Lou) is a Gaelic name meaning escape or getaway
This recently-opened AirBnB near Westport town, Co Mayo, has an interesting balance of contemporary and traditional.
Surrounded by undisturbed meadowland, nature & wild life, this little haven is elevated on a south facing hill, overlooking a wide expanse of valley, tucked away from everything.
Though just over 2 miles (5 minute drive) from Westport town, there is a sense of being miles from anywhere. Steeped in peace & tranquility, free from light pollution, idyllic for night sky gazing, this is a place where you can just be. It makes for the ultimate wind-down get-away break or staycation.
A wood fired hot tub sits on the spacious south facing deck, surrounded by ample lawn space, overlooking the valley. An exterior staircase leads you from the deck to a balcony (which also connects to the bedroom), where you can chill out or relax in the hammock, taking in the spectacular panoramic views surrounding you.
The interior design has a unique and quirky style, with a combination of antique and purpose built furnishings. Set against a bright, white background, the space is complimented by tasteful detail thought and colour, emanating joy and feel good factor. With the buildings’ south facing orientation, natural light floods in, allowing for a glowing, bright & positive experience throughout the day.
