The food from breakfast to dinner was top notch. The staff was more than accommodating and it was like I knew them for years! The scenery is second to none and the pubs were friendly and they embraced the rural pubs of old, simply charming. If going to Achill this is the place to be.

We had a wonderful stay at the Achill Cliff House. They are the friendliest and most helpful hotel staff we have ever experienced. More than willing to offer guidance and suggestions on activities and places of interest around Achill Island. Very comfortable and quiet room. The restaurant served an excellent breakfast each morning and our dinner in the dining room was fantastic. You cannot go wrong staying here for your holiday on Achill.

Amazing location and staff. Breakfast at the restaurant is great, we didn’t get a chance to try dinner but that’s part of the reason we have to comeback. Locals are terrific, welcoming, and fun!! Looking forward to booking another trip there soon.

My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here. Our experience from check in to check out was amazing. Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their hotel and restaurant. We highly suggest staying for a few days to a longer visit based on their service, high standards, and central location.

When we arrived we were excited to see they had a sauna (but they didn't tell us that it's only open from 4 - 6 p.m.) - when we requested to go in at 7:30 p.m. they wouldn't turn it on for us. They also only offer dinner from 6-8 p.m. - just FYI. The food was great. We also thought the mattresses were old and also the water pressure isn't great - the location is ideal - but I probably wouldn't stay here again....

A fine hotel in a great location near the beach in Keel. A nicely cooked breakfast each morning & the on site restaurant offers some excellent dinner choices. Great views of the Atlantic Ocean and sea cliffs. Easy cycling distance to the Deserted Village, the aquarium, & Keem strand.
