Waterfront holiday rentals in Achill Island

Four of us enjoyed the condo for seven nights. Beautiful view, spotless accommodation, quality towels and bed linens, all we needed in the kitchen. Mary and Phil went out of their way to provide alternative bedding when the weather turned warmer than expected. Truly responsive hosts. We look forward to returning to Newport, a charming village in easy reach of a variety of towns and attractions. Don’t miss Westport and Achill Island. And the Grainne Uaille pub’s Thursday night trad music session is grand!

We visited Ireland for the first time (4-person family) and deliberately chose a rural accommodation. The location was fantastic and we were particularly impressed by the nearby beaches. The view of the surrounding mountains was also beautiful. The house was spacious and offered everything we needed. It was a good starting point for our activities with the car. We had a nice time together as a family and thank Margaret and her husband very much for their hospitality.

We had a fantastic stay for a long weekend in Westport . The place was pristine, stylish and absolutely perfect for us. The location is ideal - with lots of great options for food and coffee on the doorstep overlooking the quay. The hosts were fantastic and proactive with their communication which made the run up and check out process very easy! We will definitely be back!

The place was absolutely beautiful, although it is a shared property, it felt extremely private and we never even ran into the other residents. Elaine/Kenneth are extremely thoughtful; they had the house so clean and tidy and even put a Happy Birthday cake in the fridge for us before our arrival as we had specified it was a Birthday trip away. Achill is an absolutely beautiful place and is only 15 minutes away from the property by car (the furthest part of the island being approx. 50 minutes away). Thank you so much for our stay and the many memories from such a beautiful place in the world. We hope to be back in coming years.

We had a great time staying at Carmel’s beautiful apartment. Have stayed several times with her over the years. You’ll not find a more pleasant host. Welcomed us with a bottle of wine. Can’t wait to stay with her again. Much love from myself and Sinead. 🇮🇪

I would definitely recommend Linda’s apartment. We were there for two weeks. The apartment was lovely and very convenient to the Quay and the town. Linda was an exceptionally responsive host!

The apartment had all we needed, was spottles clean and is in a quiet area. It's a 30-minute walk from the city, but you can also rent a bike or a cab to get there faster. There are a few restaurants, shops and nice walkable areas.

Irish hospitality at its best. Our hosts were lovely, bringing us freshly laid eggs most days and usually around at the end of the day for a friendly chat. The location was great, we loved our evening strolls along the beach. We hope to return someday.

Recently we stayed in Carme's place for two nights and it was a home away from home. The house is beautiful, spacious and cosy and it boasts a beautiful view of Croagh Patrick. I loved seeing the cows in the field while having my breakfast and the family sheep dog is so friendly. Thank you Carmel for your delicious home baked bread, jam and your farm eggs. It was such a lovely and welcoming gesture. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our only regret was that we only stayed for 2 nights! We will just have to come back!

I could not recommend John’s house highly enough. We stayed here for two nights as a group of 12 and we wish we could have stayed for a week. The house is beautiful beyond belief, so spacious and fully equipped with everything you could think of to cater for big groups. The hot tub and bar are wonderful additions to an already amazing house. Even though we didn’t have perfect weather we still enjoyed making the most of the hot tub. The house is even more impressive in person than how it looks in photos and the view surrounding it is breathtaking. It’s a real retreat and the perfect place to gather with friends/ family. Only a ten minute drive to Mulranny town and beach, but you probably won’t want to leave the house! An incredible stay, thank you so much to John and Sharon who were always so helpful and responsive to messages. I hope we’ll be back again soon!

A traditional Irish cottage, beautifully appointed. Suitable for two couples as the two double bedrooms both have ensuite shower rooms, with a downstairs lavatory also available. Newport is a characterful village (the inhabitants call it a town) and the public house next door has a welcoming landlord, good food and friendly locals. There are four or five other public houses in Newport, which we didn't have time to visit over a two night stay. We enjoyed our short visit to Mayo, and could have spent more time there. Waterfront cottage is well situated, extremely well kept and comfortably homely.

This house was wonderful and so well-appointed. You really only need to bring yourself and your clothes! Westport and Newport are both in close (driving) proximity. Paula is a wonderful host!

We had a great holiday. Good location, lots to do within walking distance. Very clean, comfortable house for for family of 5. Felt like home away from home. We would all happy go back. 😀

Highly recommend this beautiful house Lorna and Dave were fantastic hosts. The cleanest house we have ever stayed in. Our grandson had a great time with a full play room of toys and plenty of space to play outside. A wonderful stay. We would love to return.

We were 3 adult couples touring Ireland. The place is lovely with the river running next to the house. Hugh was there to meet us with instructions and recommendations and Anne had left us some homemade brown bread . It’s only a couple of minutes walking distance from the picturesque Cong village with lovely pubs and music on Thursdays to Sundays. Some lovely walks as well. Overall a great find and would defiantly stay again if in the area. The film The Quiet Man with John Wayne was filmed in Cong in 1951 so worth a watch before you go or you can watch on the DVD provided at the house.

I absolutely LOVED Rachel’s little stone cottage😍 We came with our dog and were immediately taken with the beautiful style and interior of the house as well as the highlight which is the garden! It’s incredibly pretty and I can really recommend to sit down there on a warm evening and just enjoy the flowers. Rachel was so accommodating and warm and we really enjoyed meeting her and couldn’t get enough of everything around us. From Westport shopping and dining to Achill Islands and everything inbetween: Mayo and specifically this little Cottage are so worth the visit! we and our dog queenie will be back 🐾

Lovely apartment in a great location fe Westport Quay, the town, Clew Bay and the surrounding areas. Christine (and Trish) were very friendly, helpful and communicative. Highly recommended.

Ger has a wonderful place, in a beautiful area. She has kept the apartment in pristine condition. I recommend her place and will defiantly return again. Well done Ger.

Mary was so lovely and welcoming. She was easily contactable and so warm and friendly. We were keen to have a bit of privacy and she left us to our own devices to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The location of the apartment is really spectacular. Sitting in the hot tub looking out on the lake was a real highlight of the trip.

This condo is spacious--4 bedrooms--and the views from upstairs are incredible. The weather was beautiful and the sunset over the beach was memorable. Eileen gave some great tips for places to eat and, important to us, where to get coffee. Because the view is so fabulous, we brought takeout pizza (which was excellent) from the Italian place within walking distance so as to enjoy the setting. A couple of nice pubs are also a really close walk. My party prioritizes golf, and the condo is a VERY short drive to the beautiful Enniscrone golf course. It also is a good base to drive to the equally impressive Carne golf course which is about 50 minutes away. I hope to get back to Enniscrone at some point, and I would definitely try to stay here again.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Catherine's apartment, which was very comfortable, nicely laid out, very well equipped and very spacious. It's located on the top floor, at the rear of the building, which makes it very quiet and peaceful. Another positive is the fact that there is a parking space in the building as on-street parking outside always seemed to be full. It's in a great location, with bars, restaurants etc., in walking distance and there's even a convenience store nearby. We also found the location to be very convenient for access to the various attractions of the area. Overall, we were very pleased to have found this property and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

We had a wonderful couple of days at Janet's apartment. very clean, private and perfectly situated in beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend and we will be back sometime in the future.

Lovely apartment with everything we needed. Short walk into town along the river. Beautiful setting. Ideal location for exploring the west coast. Great communication from Peter. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing stay!!! Private, on the water, amazing views, quiet, spacious, fantastic hosts oh I don't even know where to stop with all the positive! Walk to Ashford Castle which we did, and into the village of Cong, oh what a gem this house, nobody else around you yet so close to all. Thank you for a fantastic stay, I will be back!!!!
