Very enjoyable once we were able to get access to the property. We were told to contact Karen but no phone number left asking local neighbours did they now any phone numbers and one neighbour new the cleaner and she gave us the code to access the property. For the 4 days we were there nobody contacted us or check if we were even there So check in procedure very poor when you’ve been travelling 13hours

Here for the Achill Half Marathon
The home was nice, a little rough around the edges. Location was so-so. Property manager had a car break down so unable to meet with us to review the property, we did fine on our own though. The house was clean, beds comfortable.

Big property, good location - cleaning to be improved
Location and property size was great. However the cleanliness of the house was not under minimum standards. Kitchen accessories, appliances, etc. Then the floor, dust in the rooms. And also outside, big space for the kids to explore, but we had to explore first because there were litter outside. We talked with the owner and she was not fully aware of the condition of the house and ensure to take care of it for next visits. (Also the heater will be checked as it was doing strange sounds). The overall score drops mainly for the cleaning and kitchen usage.

No hot water or heating
While the property was well situated, spacious, well equipped, for the most part newly refurbished and well laid out our biggest disappointment was no hot water for kitchen taps or shower/bath is the main bathroom. 1 electric shower in en suite room to serve all the guests. When I brought this to the attention of the property manager (on the 1st evening of our stay) I was told a "delivery of oil" would be arranged. It did not happen in the duration of our visit. No oil also meant no central heating and no fire in the sitting room. There was no means of heating the house during a week that was very wet and windy and temperatures dropped considerably. This is such a shame. I would have scored the property much more generously if we had not encountered these issues.

Tranquil, good views, could use a little maintenance
Overall, a good experience. Some negatives. Front door lock difficult to open. Fridge quite small for a 4 bed house. trash and broken glass in back yard. Mold in coffee maker. Not enough sheet bedding. Needed to buy dishwasher tablets and paper towels.

Worth it
House was clean and comfortable and in a good location in Achill. No faults at all with house but our group struggled a bit with just two showers/baths as only the en suite was electric and second one was tempermental. Normally there is tea/coffee etc as welcome hospitality but nothing on arrival (not even toilet roll!). Outside could do with a little tidy up. Don't let these comments put anyone off as we would definitely go back and stay again, it's just constructive comments.

Achill Stay
House nice and clean. Freezer in kitchen was not working and needs to be sorted out. There was a room called the sun room which had a patio door which was locked. It would have been nice to be able to open that door and sit outside. There was a bit of rubbish strewn about which made the area look grubby. That would need to be kept cleaner. It was really easy to deal with the manager, he was very helpful.

Great location
The house was perfect, lots of space as advertised. Very clean and lots of delph, cookware, spare bed linen. Only down side only one shower for 8 people and no lids on outside bins so the birds pulled stuff out. Apart from that it was excellent and caretaker was very helpful

Brilliant property, good location
Lovely house, great hosts came down and found us on the island when we arrived, you will need a car staying at this property but a car is essential anywhere on the island as the attractions are quite far away from each other, the only thing I could fault the property on was there was no blackout blinds in the bedrooms but would definitely stay here again

Great place to stay on a fantastic island
Our family really enjoyed Achill. The property is a very good size, with modern renovations and everything works efficiently. The owners were welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful. Located in truly spectacular surroundings, the wet weather didn't spoil our trip with the island offering so much natural beauty and adventure for our kids (and us!) Happy to have stumbled on such a gem which has given us great memories. We hope to return in the future. Found to be easily accessible from Knock airport. Thanks.

Lovely Stay in Saula
Thanks Peter - We had a great few weeks. The house is really well set up with loads of supplies in the kitchen, good wifi, a nice big TV and loads of space, beds and seats for everyone. It's a quick spin to the Sound for the main shops and about 10 mins drive to Keel and Dooega beaches. Would definitely recommend as a place to stay.
