Cheap Hotels in County Mayo

For those drawn to wild Atlantic scenery and ancient history, County Mayo offers a powerful landscape defined by Croagh Patrick mountain and the sheer cliffs of Slieve League. The main draw is its raw, untamed coast, where the Great Western Greenway cycling path traces the coast from Westport to Achill Island. Here, you can explore the otherworldly ruins of the Céide Fields, a Neolithic site older than the pyramids, or take a ferry to the remote monastic settlement on Inishbofin.

This is a destination for active explorers, history enthusiasts, and couples seeking a dramatic retreat rather than a city break. The lively town of Westport, with its traditional pubs and good restaurants, is an excellent base with solid transport links, including an Irish Rail station connecting to Dublin. Achill Island, connected by a bridge, suits those wanting immediate access to vast beaches and solitude, while smaller villages like Cong, famous for "The Quiet Man," offer a quieter pace.

On HOTEVI, you'll find 19 hotels and guesthouses across the county. Accommodation is dominated by friendly, family-run bed and breakfasts and solid, comfortable hotels, with a few more upmarket options in Westport. You’ll discover everything from budget-friendly hostels perfect for Greenway cyclists to charming country houses with peat fires.
