Corlummin is 2.5 km west of picturesque Foxford in North Mayo. The River Moy, one of the most popular salmon fishing rivers in the world, runs through the town. On the river bank is Foxford Woollen Mills established in 1892 by Sister Agnes Morrogh-Bernard. The award winning store and visitor centre is recognised as one of the best in Ireland. It includes a café serving delicious food, art galleries and offers a guided tour which tells the fascinating story of the working Wollen Mills from the 19th to the 21st century. Admiral Brown, who played a pivotal role in the formation of the Argentinian Navy, hails from Foxford and is celebrated in the town. Michael Davitt, one of the most important figures in Irish history, was born in nearby Straide in 1846. The Michael Davitt Museum is located in the restored village church.
Major Mayo towns Ballina and Castlebar are both only 16km away, and the beautiful heritage town of Westport, 46km. Ireland West International Airport at Knock is a 30 min drive.
Foxford nestles between the Ox and Nephin mountains. There are several loop walks in the area varying in distance and difficulty. At 804m Nephin is Ireland’s tallest standalone mountain.
A mile from Mamies Lough Cullin has three small sandy beaches with parking adjacent to Drummin Wood, great for swimming and gentle kayaking.
Further afield there are beautiful coastal beaches at Enniscrone, Belmullet, Mulranny, and Achill where all manner of water sports including surfing can be enjoyed. Achill Island is characterised by rugged mountains and peat bogs and has impressive sea cliffs and clean beaches with views to towards Clare Island to the south, and Blacksod Bay and the Mullet Peninsula to the north.
To the north, Downpatrick Head is located on the Céide coast where the views are breathtaking. The world’s oldest know field systems can be seen at the Céide Fields Visitor centre.
Croagh Patrick, Clare Island, and Connemara are also easily accessible.
There’s a fantastic range of cycling options many of which take you past beautiful scenery. The Greenway- a dedicated 49km cycling route-follows the Wild Atlantic way from Westport to Achill Island and is particularly enjoyable.
There are 18 hole golf courses at Ballina, Enniscrone, Castlebar, Westport and Claremorris and 9 hole courses at Swinford, Mulranny, Achill Island, and Ballyhaunis. Regular horse racing meetings are held at Ballinrobe (50km).

Leave ReviewThe best we could have
By Paola on 10-Aug-2025This is my first time with Simplyowners. I'm so happy I used this platform, I hope It will be more used in the world. It is a matter of reciprocal trust. I was a bit stressed about booking here, but everything went so smoothly! I had a phone call with Rory that clarified me everything. The house itself was very welcoming and immaculate. Very well organised for guests, everything so clear and neat, shelves available for our stuff. We were 6 persons, 3 teens and 3 adults: space for everyone, and a lot of nice "corners": the sitting room was with a carpet in a corner and a lot of games, but also a dvd player, a table just out the sitting room, a well kept large garden (little apples, and blackberries). The neighborough was friendly, and in a secluded place but so close to the main road, 3 min drive. Plenty to do in the area. The check-in/out was smooth and the house identified by the eire code which bring you precisely to the gate. What else to say... it was simply the best. I'm travelling a lot, and renting houses, we are usually very lucky in the choices, but this was one of the best we had.
