Barr an Uisce

Very comfortable and well equipped, the gas stove in the livingroom, and picture frame view of the mountains and waterfront was a massive bonus.

Happy with everything.

Great location ,5 min to the village. Brilliant views. Well maintained and fitted out property.

We loved the view from the beautiful cottage.Our host was amazing, always available on what's app for any queries you might have .We had no issues whatsoever ,the cotrage had everything we needed .The serenity, the peace, everything about the place was fantastic ,spotlessly clean too!. The feature window at the breakfast table was a huge bonus it drew you in like a magnet to the beautiful view . We felt very safe and secure and well looked after .The kitchen was a great size, and the couches in sitting area were so comfy as were the beds in the good-sized bedrooms.. Nothing. We were blessed with one or two great days with plenty of sunshine too.We are so looking forward to returning next year!!

Beautiful location..everything you could need for a great get away so cosy with stove lighting view amazing but different hour by hour magical spot loved it

Leaving ...

The location was superb with an uninterrupted view from dining/living room of Achill Sound and the mountains beyond. In addition the location was very quiet and peaceful. However Athill Sound shops were very close; only a few minutes drive away.

Some kitchen utensils were lacking but when we raised this issue with our host he arranged for two items to be delivered to us the next day.

The view from the property is beautiful. Very clean and well kept place. Nice kitchen to make your own meals if needed. There is a cozy pub just around the corner for the pint of Guinness :)

The cottage is gorgeous, with every amenity you could need, the area is also fantastic, the hosts were exceptional and couldn't do enough for us, we will definitely be back!

Beautifully decorated and spacious, fantastic view which took our breath away! David was a great host and very responsive. The beds were super comfy! Cooked many meals in the very well equipped kitchen. We will return!

Fantastic location, fabulous unspoilt views, very close to local shops, pub, etc, Greenway just at the end of road for walks of cycling, 15 mins to Keel beach & Keem is also a must visit, ideal spot for complete switch off break! We got very lucky with the weather and stayed an extra day! Great host in David, very responsive and helpful. House is fully equipped with everything you could need-will definitely be back!

Beautiful location, handy for local shops and the pub . Location perfect for walks on the Greenway, great base for travelling around Achill and beyond Kitchen well stocked with equipment. Beautiful decor through out The host was amazing, emails before we arrived with information about activities happening on the Island and also regular check in's via text to ensure everything was ok at the property

Everything was perfect

Amazing location, brilliant host.. Just excellent.

Having to leave..

We absolutely loved our stay here. The house was very spacious and comfortable. We would 100% stay here again if we returned to Achill.

We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay this house was in the perfect location with the perfect settings. The house its self was stunning and great for family’s it had everything you needed and was such a warm cosy comfortable house we felt right at home for our stay and will definitely be back we absolutely loved our time at Barr an Uisce

Great location for exploring Achill House was amazing clean warm had everything you could need beds very comfortable

Cottage was terrific. So clean and comfy. Hosts were very responsive. Great location. Fabulous kitchen. Close to shopping. Beautiful view. Highly recommended.

Very central for everything. Great location, walking distance to shops and pubs and hotels and takeaways everything at your doorstep.

Couldn't fault the place.

The location is beautiful. The property is kept v clean. The hosts are very helpful.

Beautiful house with a spectacular view. Has all mod cons. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful view and surrounds. Lovely clean house. Cot and highchair provided. Highly recommend!

Beautiful view from property, helped by being very lucky with weather. House very well equipped, modern & comfortable in every way. Host available, responsive but not intrusive.

Nothing, would love to visit again.

Great location on the island, a lovely and responsive host, and a great atmosphere. We loved it!

There was nothing we did not like.

This is a lovely property in a great location with a lovely view and lots of space. The fire makes the living areas really cosy, even in winter, and there is lots of space, with all rooms being sizeable.

A heat source (heater or heated towel rail) in the en suite would be nice, as it was a little cool. This is the only suggestion that I would make, as otherwise the place was perfect, but it would make a big difference. However, this would be simply the finishing touch and I would still book again without it!

What a place!! Stunning location, brilliant communication from the host when needed, the house itself is immaculate. We couldn't fault a thing. Our 2 young boys didn't want to leave. We've already booked our next stay!!

Leaving!

This wonderful clean house had an amazing view and was the quiet escape we were looking for. We are from the US and systems are slightly different in Ireland so any questions we had were answered IMMEDIATELY by David. He is by far the most responsive host we have ever dealt with; and we have stayed in many holiday rentals. We would stay here again in a heartbeat if we were ever lucky enough to get back to Ireland.

There was nothing we didn't love about this place. Location, cleanliness, comfort, were all top notch.

The house was very warm and comfortable. The location is excellent. Our host David was very helpful.

Stunning location, beautiful cottage, ideal getaway.

We booked this house for a wedding that was taking place in Achill hotel. It was a great location for this. The view from the house is absolutely stunning and the house is extremely comfortable and modern. It was really cosy and we wanted for nothing. There was plenty hot water and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

On check-out you will be asked to empty your bins out into the wheelie bins which are located at the rear of the property and I was also asked to bring the wheelie bin down to the end of the path. It was only a very small thing but I would generally prefer if this service was included in our overall cost of the stay.

Stunning location & an impeccable stylish accommodation to boot. We will definitely be returning!

The house is lovely, comfortable, and clean The hosts are lovely and always at hand to answer any questions you might have. The view is amazing. We went as a family and loved it .walking distance to shops cafes and pub. .we will be back !

It was so modern and had everything we needed as a family. The views from the rooms were fabulous. The view from the picture window for the breakfast table was indescribable so picturesque. The house was so clean and had every facility we needed. We were delighted we couldn't hear any noise in the bedrooms from the kitchen area it was so nice. We loved that it was so private and quiet. When the tide went out we could stroll to the water side as a family. The memories we made were amazing. Our little girl was fascinated by the neighbourly sheep next door. We watched the local fisherman going to get the catch and returning by tractor from the shore. It was such a safe locationfor small kids. Walking distance in the mornings to the shops.

It suited our style of holiday with small children so if you want peaceful and relaxed atmosphere it's for you. We loved it. It is away from the main beaches of achill but you arr on the water side for rock pools and family fun still. Just amazing.

The view was amazing and changed every hour with the weather. It's so beautiful to just sit at the dining table and take it all in. Location was perfect - short walk to playground, shops, chemist etc. We loved walking the small section of the greenway that was accessible just a few minutes walk from the house. Buggy friendly walk (as long as you don't mind pushing up hills). Keel beach and Keem Bay are both just a short drive away. Barr an Uisce is very family-friendly with high chair provided and a few kids games that our daughter loved. Communication from David, the host, was excellent. The property was immaculate. The exterior and the interior are very well designed and so homely. The kitchen was well equipped. I could go on and on. An amazing property. So comfortable. Don't hesitate to book your stay here!

location, cleanliness, well equipped, good parking

The way the couches were situated did not work well - should be reconfigured to facilitate watching tv or facing the fireplace.

location was very good and the overall cleanliness of the accommodations was excellent

Everything was immaculate. So modern and finished to a very high standard. Bed's were very comfortable with 3 big bedrooms. Location is a 2 minute walk to the main street but the house is located at the waterfront. Our host sent us messages of thing's of interest to do on our stay. He couldn't have been more helpful. Everyone loved our stay. Will definitely look to go back.

Beautiful house, all mod cons, lovely decor, fabulous location & beautiful views. We will definately book again!

Nothing, fabulous!

The location is fantastic. Panoramic views of Achill Sound from the house and garden. Sea swimming in the Sound 30 seconds from the front door. Piping hot water in the modern showers afterwards. Walking distance to the only supermarket on the island and (almost as importantly) pub. Walking distance to bike rental and greenway. Short drives to all major scenic spots - and there are loads of them - on the island. House was cleaned to hospital standard. Well equipped kitchen with everything you'd need to make a super dinner. Atmospheric electric stove in the living room. We'll be back for sure.

The location exceeded our expectations. If you are ever looking for a place to disconnect from the rest of the world, Achill and Barr an Uisce is the spot to do it, unreal 👌

Beautiful house, we’ll thought out lay out. Location was ideal for exploring the island. The view from the house was very relaxing

Barr an Uisce was like new ! it felt like we were the first to use it ! communication was exceptional with owner, we absolutely fell in love with the house and the location so much so we are booking again ! five stars ⭐️

The property was very well presented, well equipped etc.

Fantastic property, great location, excellent view. Very spacious with everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Property very clean and finished to a high standard. David was extremely helpful in advance of booking and during our stay. Would highly recommend a visit to Achill Island and worth the extra few pounds for this property for comfort and luxury after a day of exploring the island.

New house with all rooms and facilities perfect. Location was beautiful looking across the Achill Sound to the mainland and also a five minute walk into the main village on the Island, Achill Sound.

Nothing not to like.

Fabulous accommodation which was spotlessly clean and fantastic location. David was an excellent host.
