About this property

Stay at this detached property and you and your group can experience the highest cliffs in Ireland. Return and spark up the BBQ with the mountains as your backdrop

This beautiful, detached holiday home on Achill Island, off the west coast of County Mayo, is the perfect base for large family get-togethers and group holidays with the dogs in tow. The island is a great base for outdoor enthusiasts, with nearby activities including golf, fishing, hillwalking, and surfing. Achill Island is known for its breathtaking beaches, so be sure to check out the golden sands of Keel Beach (4.5 miles), Dooega Bay Beach (5 miles) and Keem Bay (9.5 miles). Keen walkers will be in their element, with dramatic coastal paths to explore, including an exhilarating route from Keem Bay to Croaghaun cliffs – the highest cliffs in Ireland! When it comes to eating out, the island has a great range of cosy pubs and independent restaurants in the villages of Dugort (4 miles), Keel (4.5 miles) and Dooagh (6.5 miles).

The detached property is light and airy, with contemporary decor and large windows framing far-reaching rural views. On the ground floor you’ll find two welcoming lounges, both with comfortable seating and TVs for enjoying cosy movie nights together. One of the rooms also boasts a roaring wood burner to snuggle in front of on chilly evenings. Also on the ground floor is a sociable kitchen/diner, with all the equipment needed to cater for a large group and a dining table enjoying fabulous mountain views. Two elegant double bedrooms are situated on this level, both double rooms, along with a handy shower room and a utility room. Upstairs, five inviting bedrooms await, three double rooms with en-suite shower rooms, another double bedroom, and a cosy twin room. Completing this floor is a well-appointed family bathroom.

To the side of the property is a partially enclosed garden, with a patio, outdoor furniture and a BBQ, the perfect setting for al fresco dinners on warm evenings.
