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.

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 watersports are always easy to find.
