Achill Island Property

Escape to this stylish and sophisticated home-from-home surrounded by the wilderness of Achill Island with breathtaking views of Clew Bay, Keel Lake and the Minaun Cliffs from almost every window – this is the ultimate, family-friendly retreat for those keen to explore the West Coast.

Centred around a stunning, exposed brick fireplace housing a roaring open fire, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner boasts a true warmth, perfectly marrying original features, including stone flooring and a wood-clad ceiling, with sumptuous, homely touches. The heart of this home showcases the cottage's rich history through its country cottage-style decor, reminiscent of a rustic farmhouse, and boasts beautiful, rural views across the local landscape. The second lounge area on the mezzanine level is a haven of tranquillity, whilst the three gorgeous bedrooms, one double and two twin rooms, with their earthy hues and wooden flooring, guarantee a peaceful rest before tomorrow's adventure. Serving the bedrooms are two well-appointed bathrooms and a shower room. Outside, make the most of your stunning scenery by enjoying your morning coffee or a glass of something chilled at sundown in the shared, open-aspect garden.

The incredible Achill Island is a haven for outdoor explorers, offering countless scenic tracks and trails to explore on foot or two wheels from the doorstep. Enjoy a traditional music session in the island's local pubs, or head to the village of Keel 2 miles away to explore its excellent selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. Lose yourself in the history and charm of the village of Dugort 2.5 miles away, before wandering the shores of its beautiful sandy stretch. Acquaint yourself with the local landscape by joining the Great Western Greenway, a 26-mile trail following the route of the old railway which links Achill Island with the town of Westport.
