Feel right at home in this stylish cottage, set amongst the wilderness of Achill Island. This enticing home-from-home invites six guests and three happy hounds to nestle within cosy surroundings after long days at the beach.

Enter this pretty bungalow and make a fresh cup of tea while your curious canines scout out their new surroundings. The heart of the home is the stone fireplace, a welcome sight after chilly days out. The open-plan living space is ideal for breaking out the board games or gathering for movie nights. Feed the pups their dinner in the wooden-clad, compact kitchen while you and your party ignite your tastebuds with a hearty feast served at the table laid out for six. Enjoy pottering about the shared open-plan garden and watching as your pups sniff out their new dozing spots in the sunshine. Head off to comfortable beds and dream of your next adventure. There are three attractive bedrooms to choose from, including two pretty twin rooms and a double bedroom. Before the rest of the pack wakes, soak up some private time on the mezzanine floor with a piping-hot mug of coffee and your latest read.

From your delightful cottage base, there is much to discover. Call out walkies and lap up the breathtaking views of Clew Bay, Keel Lake and Minaun Cliffs as you explore the island. Keen walkers and cycling daredevils will love pounding the pavement of the Great Western Greenway, a 26-mile trail that stretches from Achill Island to Westport, a bustling town with many restaurants, cafes and pubs to enjoy. For traditional Irish music, venture 2 miles to the pretty village of Keel, where you'll also be met with shops and a rich history to explore.

There certainly is room for improvement at Island view cottage. The sink tap is completely loose and dangles in the hole. The plug is very hard to grip. Many sockets are worn, and at least one shortcuts the mains when used Several bulbs are bmown in the main room and the ground floor bathroom. Nasty smell in top floor bathrooms. Definite lack of upRead morekeep in this cottage I'm afraid. Shamrock description is inadequate with reality. Hide

The cottage is in a great location looking out towards Keel Strand. It was very comfortable with plenty of room for us and the two dogs and everything needed for a very pleasant week.
