    Nothing really…. The bathroom with toilet is downstairs but this wasn’t really a problem.

    A cosy home with unique character in a great location - a very memorable place to stay! Lovely hosts too.

    The road is a bit busier than expected but it is not a huge issue.

    It is a very nice cottage, we felt comfortable and had an excellent time. Some healthy mystery muffins arrived at our door also during our stay 😋 Thanks a million, would absolutely recommend and will be back for sure.

    We loved our stay at Johnny Joe’s. The cottage location is perfect as a base to explore the island - 10 mins’ drive from various beaches, Achill Sound village, Keel village and lots of restaurants and bars scattered across the island. It’s also conveniently located next door to Lynott’s, a fabulous little bar with live trad music on Friday and Monday nights. The cottage itself is comfy and has everything needed - including recently installed Wi-Fi. It’s really secure, easy to find, easy parking, and the owners Mairead and Paddy are super friendly, hospitable, helpful and welcoming. We couldn’t have asked for more and would definitely stay here again!

    The weather wasn't great, so found the property a little chilly. Could have done with a heavier duvet or maybe some extra bedding.

    Liked the quaintness of the cottage. Very familiar with Achill so knew the location would be fine, very handy for Lynotts pub!!

    Nothing really very happy with stay.

    Nice cosy rustic cottage. We used living room mainly seated around flaming stove reading drinking wine sleeping... Their are nice views of beautiful Achill from front of cottage and the cottage is ideally placed for drives on Atlantic Way, and to Dooega, Dugort, Keel, Dooagh, and the amazing Kèem Bay. Paddy and Mairead are friendly warm and welcoming. Mairead's scones and bread are delicious. Lynott's pub next door is a gem and not to be missed.

    Lovely cottage but in the winter you need a TV for the long nights.

    There was no signal for the TV. I enquired about this before we went as this was also the case for my last 2 visits , but it didn't bother me as it was the summer for my past 2 visits. However , this trip a TV was needed as it was winter , everything shut at 8pm and the nights were dark and miserable so a TV would have been lovely .I saw the houses next door had satellite dishes so not sure why this wasn't rectified even though others had so requested one during the last few months ! Also, we couldnt get the radio working . It would have been nice to have either just to hear the news etc . Also , for the stove there was no coal this time . There was plenty of turf and sticks but coal is much better for heat on the cold evenings . My double bed was very very comfy . But my friend stayed in the single bed room and said the beds were not comfortable and not fit for adults . Other than that it's a lovely cottage and I'd definitely return but only in the summer months . They decorated it with Christmas decorations and a tree which was a lovely touch also.

    This is my 3rd time staying here in the past year. It is the cutest little cottage and my double bed was lovely and comfy. Our hosts left lovely homemade brown bread which was a lovely touch . The stove was lovely and warm and cosy .

    Nothing! Couldn;t fault it.

    Absolutely perfect self catering find!! Cottage was super clean, and exceptionally well stocked with everything you would need for a self catering break. Easy to find , and the key box meant arrival was seamless. Appreciated the homely touches such as mince pies on arrival and the fire being set. The owners even put up Xmas decorations which was really nice given it was a festive break away from home. Irish hospitality at it's best!!

    Would be good if the cooker was updated as it was a bit slow

    I loved the old cottage style and the sea view from the table. The kitchen had plenty utensils too so that was a great help - like home from home.

    We loved it there, the only very small downside was that it is not possible to go for a walk without driving somewhere first. There is no footpath, only the main road in front of the house where cars drive by very fast.

    Beautiful little cottage with everything you need! The perfect place for a relaxing stay on Achill. We enjoyed the fireplace and the cosy atmosphere very much.
