Grenier du 17ème siècle dans l'ouest sauvage d'Irlande

Newbrook House has been a labour of love for our family. It began with a longing for somewhere to truly rest, a place that offered real tranquility, comfort, and beautiful design, where you could restore body and mind. We could never quite find it, so we set out to create it ourselves: an “undestination,” a place to capture the heart and rejuvenate the soul.

When we came upon Newbrook House, its grace and charm were still intact despite the restoration it needed, and we knew we’d found it. Since completing the restoration, we’ve been fortunate to host visitors from far and wide, who’ve travelled to us from every corner of the globe. We’ve poured real care into every detail, filling the house with the antiques, art, and books that make it feel like a true home rather than a rental, and we love pointing guests toward the local craftspeople, producers, and hidden corners of Mayo that we have come to treasure.

What we enjoy most about hosting is watching guests arrive weary from travel and slowly exhale. The nearby lanes and paths are replete with nature, adventures wait in the surrounding towns, and there’s no pressure to do any of it. Our hope is simply that you will come to experience the essence of being, and not doing, and leave Newbrook House feeling refreshed and restored.

We chose this corner of Mayo because it iss one of the most genuinely peaceful and beautiful places in Ireland. Newbrook House sits at the end of a secluded country lane, sheltered by the ancient stone walled garden of the original Bingham manor house. Green fields stretch in every direction, the mornings are full of birdsong, and the evenings bring some of the most spectacular sunsets in Ireland.

What we love most is how much the area offers. The quiet lanes and paths are made for slow morning walks, the lakes of Lough Mask and Lough Carra are a short drive for fishing or peaceful reflection, and the historic market towns of Claremorris and Ballinrobe have everything you need close at hand. Further afield lie Ashford Castle, the Wild Atlantic Way, Knock Shrine, and a wealth of golf courses, heritage abbeys, and welcoming villages.

It is the rare place where you can do as much or as little as you like, and either way, you feel as though you’ve discovered somewhere special that most travellers never find. That sense of being let in on a secret is exactly what made us fall in love with it, and it’s what we most enjoy sharing with our guests.

The Granary at Newbrook House began life in 1670 as part of the Bingham family’s Clanmorris estate, and it has been lovingly restored into a refined two-bedroom retreat that wears its history with grace. Set at the end of a secluded country lane and sheltered by the ancient stone-walled garden of the original manor house, it offers a rare kind of seclusion, a genuine hidden gem in the heart of Mayo’s wild west.
Inside, every room tells a story. The principal bedroom is anchored by a magnificent hand-carved super king bed, and throughout the house carefully chosen antiques, original artwork, and curated collections sit alongside a wood-burning fireplace, creating spaces that feel both elegant and deeply personal. This is a home with genuine character, the kind of place you can’t simply build, but only restore.
The setting is just as rewarding. The legendary Ashford Castle, with its falconry and fine dining, is a short drive away, as is the elegant Mount Falcon Estate to the north. The dramatic coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way is within easy reach, and the revered pilgrimage site of Knock Shrine lies comfortably nearby. What truly sets The Granary apart is the feeling of being welcomed into a piece of living history, an unhurried, soulful place to simply be, in one of the most beautiful corners of Ireland.
