Unfortunate experience at this place. We arrived to an unclean house ( dirty rags in the sink, unclean sheets, hair all over the bathroom, crumbs all over the floor, old toothbrushes out- filthy) The hosts were very responsive and did get a cleaner in the next day and refunded our first night. The only option for clean sheets was new sheets in the cupboard, which was fine for one night, but the cleaners didn't have cleaned sheets so our entire stay was with unclean new sheets. We also couldn't get the water heater on or the dishwasher on the first night. There were no good instructions about how to operate appliances and the electrical was iffy, sometimes the power went on and sometimes not. The last night we woke to the fridge electric off and lost all of our perishables. The dishwasher wouldn't turn on. It was just one mishap after another.
The cottage is rather disorganized in general which makes finding items in the kitchen challenging. The entry closet has a powerful damp smell that radiates into the kitchen area. This cottage is in a holiday home village and you are close to all of the other cottages. Advantages are grassy area around you, beautiful mountain behind you, enclosed village for kids to roam, but no privacy when looking out a window. It is fairly centrally located to most attractions on the island. Achill is beautiful.
