Great B&B on Achill Island! We were the only ones in the whole place for the night we arrived. Our room was spacious and the bathroom was gorgeous with a huge tub and a stand-up shower. I definitely took advantage of the bath. I liked the décor of the place, almost reminded me of the U.S. West. We were greeted to tea and biscuits in the dining area once we dropped our belongings off in our room. The next morning we had an excellent breakfast as well. I loved that Achill Lodge was tucked further into the island a little bit and not on the main strip once you cross over the bridge. Felt a little more private and exclusive. The hosts were very nice and polite!

Beautiful B&B on Achill Island. I was coming rom Donegal down to Achill and grossly misjudged how long it would actually take meaning I was still driving coming up to 10pm. We’d been calling to let them know we’d be a late and they were so nice that it really took the worry out of the last bit of the drive. We booked the 3 room suite between 3 of us and it was absolutely gorgeous! Each room decorated to a really high standard and we even had our own sitting room in the house. We started a bottle of wine the 1st night and were using whatever tumblers were available(we’re classy like that), but the 2nd night they had left 3 wine glasses beside the remaining wine for us! Breakfast was absolutely gorgeous. Really recommend the full Irish breakfast. They also had a little buffet with fruit, cereal and yoghurts. And not just any yoghurts, the fancy crunch corner ones! The wifi is free, but you must ask for the code. It works best from the new building. The B&B was originally just the house, but when their son took over he built a 2nd building with more rooms and a lovely dining and sofa area for breakfast. Would very much recommend it for stays on Achill or for the Greenway cycle. We did the Greenway and hired bikes out in Mulranny because we wanted to start there. We didn’t get to see the bikes first though and they ended up being poor quality. Achill Lodge rent and sell bikes and you can see that they are well maintained before you spend your money. So would recommend their bike rental also if the location suits you.
