A great place for a peaceful retreat with your family. You can see the sea from the living and dining room, and other places around the house from its position a little way up the hillside. The games room was a great hit with our children who disappeared off to it at every opportunity. The open peat fire was great for creating a copy living room and there is a number of board-games and jigsaws which the family enjoyed in the evenings, plus the TV reception is fine.
Turning left out of the front gate and straight up the road for 5mins gets you to Pure Magic, which is a great pizza restaurant, with an informal atmosphere and reasonable prices. Turning right out of the front gates gets to Dugort beach in a couple of minutes and is easy walking distance.
Shops in Achill Sound and Keel (nearer) are well stocked and there is an abundance of walks on Achill that can keep you busy for a few days. There is a pharmacy in Achill Sound. Out of season some eating places are closed but plenty are open, some places take last orders at 7:30.
