Staying at Teresa’s place is like finding a piece of heaven. Achill is remote, rugged and stunningly beautiful. The people are kind, friendly and helpful. The apartment is modern with every convenience and the perfect size for my husband and I. We spend long days sitting on the patio or in the living room looking out onto the ocean, listening to the waves crashing and the sheep in the fields. I had the same view while making breakfast every morning.
The apartment, sits at the end of the beach, which when you walk the beach it leads you into town. It is an incredibly romantic place. We spent most afternoons taking the walk to grab coffee or tea and sweets in the afternoon. I felt that the apartment was in the best location on the island, on the beach, unobstructed ocean views, close to town and very private. If you don’t know the island, you can drive to see its many beaches and quaint towns. It has plenty of restaurants and cafe’s and lots of activities like surfing and horseback riding.
Teresa was so helpful with places to eat and things to see. She responded immediately to any questions. And on one cozy, drizzling afternoon she brought us warm scones to have with our tea. She made us feel very welcome.
The apartment is new and everything is in excellent condition. It is decorated beautifully, modern and spotlessly clean. The bed, which you could have as two twins or together as a king sized bed was so comfortable as were the pillows. The walk in shower had lots of hot water and great pressure. The kitchen had every appliance you would need and a countertop that seats two, it was adjacent to the living room that had a large comfortable couch and tv.
I would highly recommend this apartment. And it if it is too small, Teresa as a house next door with (2) two bedroom apartments which is equally lovely. We can’t wait to go back.
