People & Places of North Mayo video series, Enniscoe Country House

Hidden among the woods at the foot of Mount Nephin and between Lahardane and Crossmolina is Enniscoe Country House, “the last Great House of North Mayo”. In this episode of the People and Places of North Mayo we meet with DJ Kellett who brings us on a journey through the life of the Enniscoe Estate which has been in his family since the 1650’s. Enniscoe House itself dates back to the 1790’s. Enter through the white gates, go past the pink gate lodge and follow the long winding avenue through extensive parkland, to arrive at the classical Georgian family home of Susan and DJ Kellett, where stunning views of Lough Conn greet you. The Kelletts are delighted to share their house and grounds with their guests. Enniscoe is your opportunity to experience life in a heritage house. With its wonderful over-sized entrance doorway drawing you in to a home of elegant reception rooms and fine bedrooms, each with its own unique story, Enniscoe represents the best of Ireland, from the hospitality of its owners, relaxing appeal and excellent food, to its home away from home atmosphere. Outside the house are pastures and woodlands with lakeside walks, pleasure grounds and a carefully restored Victorian garden. Visit the North Mayo Heritage Centre (located on the grounds of the Enniscoe Estate) to trace your family history or to browse in the museum, go fishing for brown trout on Lough Conn, or just relax and switch off from the outside world. The Enniscoe Estate is truly a hidden gem. A stay at this very special house is like stepping back in time. You will not want to leave!
