    Everything was great!

    The location was great for us as the event we were attending was just across the road. The beds were comfortable and the house was warm and cosy. We had everything we needed for our stay and there was good space for our party of 7. It should be noted that oil and electricity is a separate charge that is payable after check-out, but we had no issue with that. We will definitely be back!

    A sign on the gate at the entrance would have been helpful as there are 3-4 entrances close together. A quick phone call to the host made sure we were in the right location

    The hosts live next door to the property and were able to access the property as they left the door open for our arrival

    The entrance to the drive is a bit tricky to navigate in a car.

    The view. The price. The host giving us a lift to the pub. Access to a real fire at night.

    This cottage is warm, spacious and spotless. The sea views are quite stunning from the cosy living room. Decor of a very high standard and all amenities provided for the visitor. The owners are a really friendly, helpful couple who did everything to make our stay in Achill so unforgettable. We left feeling so relaxed and with lovely memories of Achill and the people there.

    We spent five weeks in Ireland, but our few days at the Wild Atlantic Way Cottage were the best!

    • Holiday Home
    • Stayed 3 nights

    A few of the appliances (e.g. cooker, hot water, etc.) need a particular "touch" to get working properly (you know how it is sometimes), but a quick text to the owner for help brought an immediate reply.

    The property was perfect for our large family - spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. The location is ideal if you are looking for a remote getaway on the Wild Atlantic Way - literally on the edge of the world, overlooking the Atlantic. If you are looking for a hiking holiday, Achill is arguably one of the best places in Ireland with several breathtaking hikes all within its self-contained island boundaries. This house in Dooagh is ideally located for many of these, e.g. a 3 minute drive from the isolated beach on Keem Bay (see pic), from which you can hike to the spectacular Achill Head, Croaghaun (highest sea-cliffs in Europe - see pic) and the even more remote Saddle Head and Annagh Beach. It is literally a 2-minute walk across the road to Dooagh's rocky beach which has some of the best breakers on the island. There is a fireplace for a peat turf fire which Our host was amazing - answered all our questions and needs promptly, and was flexible with unexpected arrival delays. Because the house is locally-owned, her local knowledge was very helpful for shopping needs, "off-the-beaten-path" sights we'd have missed, etc. We would definitely go back here again!
