We were blessed with great weather for a mid-October break and had a really fantastic time in Achill.
The cottage was beautiful and David had thought of everything to make sure we had a perfect escape. It's really well situated, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Slievemore mountain, which we climbed whilst we were there (up the easier trek from the Deserted Village) and is just a short walk from the nearest beach, the beautiful Silver Strand.
We were always lovely and warm with the central heating and the real fire burning in the lounge, happily eating and drinking together at the end of each varied day exploring, whilst keeping up with the rest of the world on the tv and wifi.
The cottage is really tastefully decorated and David made sure that we were really well looked after, having thought of everything we might have needed and was always quick to respond to any questions we had.
If you like the simple life exploring unspoilt beaches, hills and mountains, deserted villages and lots, lots more, then this is a great base from which you can enjoy it all at your leisure.
