Achill Alantic Dream

Stunning views

Washing machine did not work. Some bedrooms do not have black-out curtains

Fabulous property in a quiet cul-de-sac. A realy get away from it all location. Beautiful property well maintained, great kitchen size and spacious bedrooms plenty of space for a family group.

I hate to even say as everything was so great, but a dishwasher and washing machine would have been great.

Quiet and near the sea.

The location is beautiful and is the main attraction about the property. The views are incredible and the house is on an amazing road that leads to the most beautiful scenic drive. The house is surrounded by other houses though, and the condition of the road leading to the house is terrible. A 4x4 would be handy for this road!!

There are so many things about this house that need upgrading/modernising. There’s no dishwasher or clothes dryer, so prepare to spend your stay hand washing dishes and attempting to dry laundry for a family on one tiny clothes horse! There’s no hooks/rail for wet towels, the beds are creaky and noisy, and the pillows are lumpy. The bed linen and towels smell VERY strongly of laundry detergent, it’s overwhelming. There’s only one bin for all rubbish/recycling, no separation of waste. There’s no plug for the kitchen sink. There’s no coffee machine or cafetière or ANYTHING to make a coffee with. There’s no blinds/curtains on the primary bedroom windows so the room is effectively unusable. The upstairs electric shower doesn’t work, so only the shower downstairs works off an old fashioned immersion system (ie, no spontaneous showers, you need to plan out how to wash a family of 5 people). The gate doesn’t stay closed so all the sheep get into the property and you need to keep moving them out to avoid getting droppings all around the paths. There’s no outdoor table and chairs for eating in the garden in good weather. The sliding door next to the dining table doesn’t open so you can’t open the door to what would be a beautiful sun spot in the kitchen in the evening sun.
