    A heat source (heater or heated towel rail) in the en suite would be nice, as it was a little cool. This is the only suggestion that I would make, as otherwise the place was perfect, but it would make a big difference. However, this would be simply the finishing touch and I would still book again without it!

    This is a lovely property in a great location with a lovely view and lots of space. The fire makes the living areas really cosy, even in winter, and there is lots of space, with all rooms being sizeable.

    There was nothing we didn't love about this place. Location, cleanliness, comfort, were all top notch.

    This wonderful clean house had an amazing view and was the quiet escape we were looking for. We are from the US and systems are slightly different in Ireland so any questions we had were answered IMMEDIATELY by David. He is by far the most responsive host we have ever dealt with; and we have stayed in many holiday rentals. We would stay here again in a heartbeat if we were ever lucky enough to get back to Ireland.

    On check-out you will be asked to empty your bins out into the wheelie bins which are located at the rear of the property and I was also asked to bring the wheelie bin down to the end of the path. It was only a very small thing but I would generally prefer if this service was included in our overall cost of the stay.

    We booked this house for a wedding that was taking place in Achill hotel. It was a great location for this. The view from the house is absolutely stunning and the house is extremely comfortable and modern. It was really cosy and we wanted for nothing. There was plenty hot water and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    It suited our style of holiday with small children so if you want peaceful and relaxed atmosphere it's for you. We loved it. It is away from the main beaches of achill but you arr on the water side for rock pools and family fun still. Just amazing.

    It was so modern and had everything we needed as a family. The views from the rooms were fabulous. The view from the picture window for the breakfast table was indescribable so picturesque. The house was so clean and had every facility we needed. We were delighted we couldn't hear any noise in the bedrooms from the kitchen area it was so nice. We loved that it was so private and quiet. When the tide went out we could stroll to the water side as a family. The memories we made were amazing. Our little girl was fascinated by the neighbourly sheep next door. We watched the local fisherman going to get the catch and returning by tractor from the shore. It was such a safe locationfor small kids. Walking distance in the mornings to the shops.

    The view was amazing and changed every hour with the weather. It's so beautiful to just sit at the dining table and take it all in. Location was perfect - short walk to playground, shops, chemist etc. We loved walking the small section of the greenway that was accessible just a few minutes walk from the house. Buggy friendly walk (as long as you don't mind pushing up hills). Keel beach and Keem Bay are both just a short drive away. Barr an Uisce is very family-friendly with high chair provided and a few kids games that our daughter loved. Communication from David, the host, was excellent. The property was immaculate. The exterior and the interior are very well designed and so homely. The kitchen was well equipped. I could go on and on. An amazing property. So comfortable. Don't hesitate to book your stay here!

    Everything was immaculate. So modern and finished to a very high standard. Bed's were very comfortable with 3 big bedrooms. Location is a 2 minute walk to the main street but the house is located at the waterfront. Our host sent us messages of thing's of interest to do on our stay. He couldn't have been more helpful. Everyone loved our stay. Will definitely look to go back.

    The location is fantastic. Panoramic views of Achill Sound from the house and garden. Sea swimming in the Sound 30 seconds from the front door. Piping hot water in the modern showers afterwards. Walking distance to the only supermarket on the island and (almost as importantly) pub. Walking distance to bike rental and greenway. Short drives to all major scenic spots - and there are loads of them - on the island. House was cleaned to hospital standard. Well equipped kitchen with everything you'd need to make a super dinner. Atmospheric electric stove in the living room. We'll be back for sure.

Would highly recommend a visit to Achill Island and worth the extra few pounds for this property for comfort and luxury after a day of exploring the island.
