Mary’s place is on the main road between Newport and Achill island. You’d definitely want a car to be able to get around and about if you’re staying here. It’s lovely and private and has great views across the bay - even of Croagh Patrick if the clouds are kind enough to lift for you.
Mary communicated really well before and during our journey to her home. She stood at the door to welcome us as we arrived and offered us fresh home made hazelnut bread which was still warm and absolutely gorgeous. Besides the bedroom we had free use of a little sitting room and the bathroom. Mary left really lovely breakfasts out for us both mornings and gave us hints and tips about the local area.
I’d definitely recommend Mary’s place, especially if you are thinking of visiting Achill Island on your journey (which really is well worth visiting).
