Excellent location on Achill Island: secluded but with beautiful views of Slievemore and of the sea.
Within walking distance of the lovely beach at Dugort. The shallow gradient of the beach, its blue flag status and the fact that a lifeguard is on duty for most of the day make it ideal for children.
The house is set up to accommodate nine people with ease (two double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite; a twin room; and a third bedroom with a bunk bed and a single bed). There are also a few additional folding beds to accommodate more, although that would put strain on the amount of space in the sitting room and meals would have to be served in shifts!
The kitchen is modern and a joy to use.
The house is great in bad weather as well as good. No Netflix or other streaming services but a huge stock of DVDs including the full Tim Burton canon - we rewatched 'Edward Scissorhands', plus Freeview terrestrial television. Felt very 90s, watching normal telly and having to sit through the trailers at the start of DVDs.
The games room is below the main house and feels separate from it, which would make things feel less confined if there are lots of people in the house.
The lack of WiFi and slow data over 3G (intermittently 4G) in the house were a culture/tech shock - but also a release. If cold turkey strikes, Pure Magic, a coffee shop and restaurant five minutes away by car, has 40Mbps public WiFi which is good enough for topping up Netflix downloads or doing a Zoom meeting - and their food is good.
We had a wonderful few days at Revelation on Achill and would love to return.
