The Cottage: This modern house is located on the Atlantic Drive on the island. It has sea and mountain views, and on a clear day you can see right over to Croagh Patrick. This is a great location if you want to enjoy quiet walks with stunning cliff views. But it is also just a short distance from Achill Sound for shops, 5min drive from blue flag beaches and you can walk 10 mins to the local pub. This location is so nice that Granuaile built a tower just down the road! If you are into fishing, there is a pier that you can walk down to and catch your dinner.
Achill island has something for everyone. There are great places to eat whether you just want an ice cream or to sample the local seafood. There are numerous beaches to enjoy, plenty of mountains to climb or why not try a new adventure sport with surfing, kayaking, horseriding and much more on offer.You are also just a short drive from Westport, Newport and the Ballycroy National park. Make a day of it and head up to Belmullet peninsula and Blacksod lighthouse for an interesting tour.The house: This spacious house is situated on a small private road. You enter into a bright airy hallway, on your left you enter into a large open plan living, dining, kitchen room that spans the width of the house giving it plenty of light and great views from all the windows. Open the French doors to bring the outside in. The living area has a wood burning stove and TV with DVD player to enjoy. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook up a feast for the whole family.
Down a short hallway you will find a further sitting room with TV & dvd player and wood burning stove giving plenty of room for all the family to have their own space. There is a family bathroom with shower in bath and 2 large double bedrooms. Up stairs there are 2 further double rooms – one with en suite. And another bathroom with shower in bath.
Outside there is a large grass area, perfect for kids to play a full soccer match or burn off any energy they may have left! The garden is enclosed but we would also say to keep dog on lease as there are sheep nearby.Pets welcomeWelcome pack on arrivalHeating & electricity include for May to end Sept. €30 for Oct to end April per booking.No wifi
