Located at the foot of Slievemore mountain on the ruggedly scenic Achill Island, is this quality detached holiday home. This Achill Island cottage is a wonderful base from which to explore Ireland's largest, and arguably most naturally beautiful, island. Situated in a small development of holiday properties, the beach and village of Dugort are within walking distance of this County Mayo cottage, while Keel, Achill's main town with a good selection of pubs and amenities, is just a short drive. The modern kitchen and dining area at this Achill Island cottage leads onto a bright sitting room which has a warming open fire for chillier evenings. Three comfortable bedrooms, one en-suite double, one double and one room with bunk beds, offer ideal sleeping accommodation for families, friends or couples. While the island has many activities to offer, from surfing to hiking, golfing to climbing, visitors to this Achill Island cottage should head back across the bridge to the mainland to spend an evening in the lively town of Westport, famed for its traditional music and warm hospitality. For a getaway with a difference in one of Ireland's most unspoilt locations, look no further than this Achill Island cottage.

Achill is the largest of the Irish islands and is 57 square miles of stunning scenery. The island is linked to the mainland by the Michael Davitt Bridge so it is easy to access. The island has five blue flag beaches which are popular with water sports enthusiasts, but there are always secluded little spots tucked away if you want to get away from it all. There is some lovely walking to be had on the island as well as cycling and just driving round to admire the superb countryside. The island has a rich history waiting to be discovered, with a deserted village at Slievemore or the Tower at Kildavnet. This is a beautiful little island that makes it the perfect getaway for a holiday.
