Majella
right on the shore. It is a beautiful 100 year old cottage which has just the right mix of character and modern facilities. Michael and Mary are the caretakers for the property and they do a fabulous job. We were so comfortable with the stove and cosy sofas while the wind howled outside on the first two nights. But we were also blessed with sunshine and could sit outside and watch all the birds, feed the donkeys or watch the tide. If you are looking tranquility, cosiness, nature with more than a splash of bona fide Achill then Sound Cottage will tick all the boxes.

The cottage is clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is wonderful and a decent distance from other properties. We loved the garden and our girls loved the swing and especially loved feeding the two nosey donkeys over the fence. I sat having my breakfast one day watching a heron catch fish and seals on the flats as the tide receded. It really is a place to relax and Achill is a special place.
