Property History: Originally built in 1850 as a single-story thatched cottage, the Disken family transformed it in 1890 into a distinctive two-story residence, complete with a unique rendered facade that still stands out today.
In 1947, local businessman Tim Devaney purchased the home, which remained in the Devaney family for many years, becoming a cherished part of the community’s heritage. More recently, the house passed to a village native, and—together with the skill and dedication of local tradespeople—has undergone a meticulous two-year restoration, breathing new life into the property while preserving its timeless charm.
Whether you're looking for history, comfort, and countryside calm—or a great base to explore the west of Ireland—this unique home has it all.

Our family of seven had a truly wonderful stay at The Village House in Menlough. From the moment we crossed the Failte doormat till our departure two days later, we were delighted to stay in this beautiful, clean, historic and well-appointed home. From the back of the house we watched sheep grazing and housemartins swooping over green pastures. From the front of the house we watched cows across the street and admired the Mary statue dedicated to Menlough native Fr Scully for his work benefitting Dublin's poor in the early 20th century.We were able to buy groceries at the market in Mountbellew and prepare wonderful meals in the kitchen. We also enjoyed delicious food at The Malt House in Mountbellew. Beds were very comfortable and both coffee and tea helped us wake in the morning, an assortment of tasty snacks was provided, lucky us!Our crew of adults and teens enjoyed walks behind and around The Village House and we took a day trip through the countryside to Galway.The *most* fun we had was visiting Thompson's Pub just across the street where folks were celebrating Mayo's football championship victory. We were greeted warmly by proprietor Michael and his son Stephen, owner of The Village House himself! He filled us in on the interesting history of the house and kindly entertained our many questions. The pub was lovely, everyone was very friendly, drinks were great and it was a short walk home at the evening's end. Perfect.

Thank you to Stephen for hosting us at the Village House! This was a great weekend away for a multigenerational family. With our car we were able to see a couple different communities in the area. We also took a day to travel into Galway. The place was very clean, with lots of space and everything we needed. Thank you again!

It is conveniently located next to groceries and across from Thompson’s Pub, and is a two minute walk to the bus stop with a direct line to Galway. This home is located in the beautiful serene countryside with breathtaking views. Our hosts were readily available and very accommodating, helpful with directions and ideas for Ireland adventures.
