Mount Falcon Estate is the perfect location if you’re looking for some rest and relaxation in the West of Ireland.
The beautiful old Irish country estate is nestled in the wilds of North Mayo, providing serene views of the River Moy and the majestic Nephin Mountain.
The 4-star hotel, which was originally built in 1876, was restored to its full charm by the Maloney family 20 years ago.
Mount Falcon Estate is much-loved by a host of famous faces, as it was the hotel of choice for US President Joe Biden when he visited Co. Mayo back in 2016.
President Biden has close ties to the county, as it was the home of his great-great-great-grandfather Edward Blewitt, who emigrated to the US in 1850.
The world leader was clearly impressed by his stay at Mount Falcon Estate, as it was the hub for the White House Communications Agency during President Biden’s historic visit to Ballina earlier this month.
The stunning location is also the golfing focus of the West Coast of Ireland, and recently featured on Amazon Prime’s Links Life with bestselling author Tom Coyne, and Hollywood legend Bill Murray.
There’s no doubt it’s become a firm favourite with golfers, having previously been frequented by golfing royalty Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo and Mark O’Meara – who only recently visited the estate for the sixth time.
Mount Falcon Estate also boasts a hundred-acre haven of ancient, majestic trees which is situated on the west bank of Ireland’s most prolific salmon river – perfect for those who love the great outdoors.
