What a wonderful introduction to Achill! Keel is a lovely town with all you need; Catherine’s place is in the heart in the heart of the village, walking distance to the glorious beach, to the pubs and places to eat. The house has all you need to make yourself at home, and was spotlessly clean. It’s super cosy, which was very welcome to come home to after a day on the beach. Our two little ones loved the sheep and cows in the field behind (and the sheep on the road!) Our little girl is allergic to lots of things so we were really pleased to find the Bayside Bistro was very allergy-friendly with lots of options. Keel is a great base to explore all that Achill offers - the incredible Keem beach, fresh fish off the boats in Purteen, the faerie trail at Valley House....We’ve fallen in love with the island and can’t wait to come back.
