We are a family of four with a one- and a three-year-old. This was the perfect set up for a family holiday in Achill. We arrived on a sunny evening and were welcomed with stunning views and inviting accommodation. One of the major benefits to this property is that it has private access to Cloughmore beach. This was ideal for morning/evening strolls with our children.
The accommodation itself was clean and well equipped with good kitchen utensils and basics such as salt, pepper & spices. The open living/dining space was perfect for meals, children playing, and the large windows offered beautiful views of the bay.
A quirky feature is a small stone garden shed at the bottom of the garden with a picnic bench inside and lighting which provided for another dining/drinks area with incredible views.
Granuaile’s castle is a short walk away and a drive along the coast is a must - Achill’s natural beauty speaks for itself!
The owner, Kevin, is an Achill native. He was very welcoming (including complimentary bottle of wine!) and provided us with useful tips to enjoy our stay. As a base for a stay in Achill, we couldn’t have asked for better - and we already plan to return in 2022!
