This is a beautiful, character-filled property, the uniqueness of which is unlikely to be found elsewhere on the island. Tastefully furnished and restored with great flair, originality and attention to detail, it provided the perfect welcome after a day spent hiking around Achill's many walking loops and trails. The wood-burning stove (combined with the wall-mounted electric heaters) kept the kitchen/living area nice and snug, but if travelling during the cooler months, guests should be sure to bring extra layers for added comfort. Conveniently located within an easy drive of all of Achill's main sites of interest, it made for a great base, particularly as it was closest to the village of Keel which offers a good array of cafes and bars. The distance to Keel is also walkable (approx. 30 mins) and would be an easy cycle, but a torch is essential if travelling on foot after dark. Though we didn't meet in person, Caoimhe was a very efficient host, readily available for any queries if needed. Her house has great charm and sophistication, and guarantees a memorable stay, particularly for those with an appreciation of homes and interiors.
