I believe that the landlord must put himself in the tourist's shoes and that s/he should make them feel like home. Tourists arrive tired on holiday, and the onliy thing they wants to do, after arriving in a welcoming and clean house, having unpacked their bags and tidied up, is to relax. Unfortunately, i did not find all this in this house. The hosts were on Holiday and gave us a telephone number to contact. This person was also away and after we needed him, he gave us a new contact number. 1: the house is not where it shows on the Google map,in the GPS coordinates. That point is on Mount MWEELIN. If you really want to know the exact point where you are renting and reach the house without getting lost for 3 hours, you have to look for the house in Salia. 2: the house has been vacant for 6 months the walls were cold & damp, found pillow with signs of mold. 3. The house was very dirty. We had to thoroughly clean ourselves. With umand dirt (fake nails on the floor, hair,..) there was that of the building cement dust was still there and could smell it. The kitchen was dirty too. 4.WC and shower in the bathroom were broken. The washer and dryer had not been cleanded, there were monsters in the filters. 5:We could onl obtain Wifi access after two days. Thank you Eileen fo providing this. We are heartbroken because that house is beautiful but it wasn't ready to be rented. What seems to matter to the landlord is just getting rental money and that's really sad.

Home decor was lovely , lovely linen, lots of space . Felt very comfortable staying there. Location superb - short car drive from everywhere. Few minor issues which have been feed back to owner - grubby laundry and main bathroom - ensuite was lovely , bins full.

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.

House was perfect for both adults and children, very comfortable beds and very clean on arrival. Beautiful views both day and night.we were lucky to have great weather too. A perfect base to explore achill.

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.

Lovely house in peaceful surroundings. Easy to reach everywhere on the island.

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.

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.
