About this property
A superb detached house situated 100 metres from a lovely blue flag beach in Dugort with sea views and a short walk to the sea edge. This charming house is perfect for family and friends to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, surrounded by breathtaking scenery situated by the sultry mount Slievemore. Tastefully furnished with both comfort and convenience in mind, the house has four lovely bedrooms spread over two floors. Downstairs you will find a well-equipped open plan living area with a kitchen, perfect for whipping up a tasty breakfast to prepare you for a day of exploring, a dining area with enough room to seat six for a celebratory meal and a sitting area with a warming open fire, ideal for curling up with a good book and a mug of hot cocoa in the chillier months. Stroll down to the beach and soak up the summer sun or relax with a refreshing drink of something cool safe in the knowledge that home is just a short walk away. Indeed, with plenty of spectacular scenery on the island you will certainly not be disappointed if you decide to pull on your walking boots or hop on your bike and go adventuring. Less than fifteen minutes drive away is the village of Keel which is a paradise for those who enjoy watersports such as sea kayaking, windsurfing and sailboarding. If youve never tried surfing, why not book yourself a lesson and experience the exhilarating feeling of riding the Atlantic waves? Alternatively, for a more leisurely pursuit theres plenty of tranquil fishing sports further inland and a fine selection of pubs and cafes in which to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat. For a true adventure, experience the stunning scenery as you drive to the mainland and visit the bustling town of Westport. Walk down the streets of this town steeped in culture and be tempted into one of the fantastic pubs by the traditional Irish music being played within. A great house in a beautiful location, ideal for an Irish adventure youll never forget.
At 57 square miles, Achill is the largest island of Ireland, and lies off the west coast, in County Mayo. The island is linked to the mainland by the Michael Davitt Bridge, making it easily accessible. Boasting five Blue Flag beaches, Achill has some of the most beautiful, secluded, remote beaches in Ireland, but water sports are always easy to find.

Right next to the beach, with bar, shop, and restaurant all nearby. Plenty of room in the living area. Great for games and movies if it's a wet day. Lovely host who was kind and checked in with us. We will come back for sure.

We have rented house for several years. Location fab, cleanliness is OK. The inside of dishwasher falls forward out of dishwasher on a full load. Extractor does not work. Beds are poor, creaky and loose and propped up by a box in the upstairs unsuite room.House would benefit from having a hoover, mop etc available and empty bins. Some invesstment in maintenance and general comfort would greatly improve customer experience. We love the location and the space in the house.it has lots of potential. It suits a family and can easily accommodate 8 people. The beach is a five minute walk as is the hotel and local shop. Achill is beautiful and the reason we come back every year.
