Pure Magic Lodge

Lovely atmosphere and great food.

All went well

Sehr nettes Personal, tolle Lage. Schön, dass man direkt vor Ort zu ganz okayen Preisen zu Abend essen konnte.

Badezimmer und Mobiliar dringend Austausch- bzw. renovierungsbedürftig. Eher schmuddelig (Teppichboden im Flur) als blütensauber, auch der Frühstückstisch.

Awesome place Awesome location

Extremely friendly and helpful staff , a relaxed atmosphere everywhere in the lodge and great food. I had breakfast and an evening meal there both of which were were ample portions and delicious. François the owner runs a professional and at the same time friendly lodge at Pure Magic . I'd stay there again , and can only recommend it to everyone.

my stay was too short !

Our stay was Amazing beautiful scenery in quiet peaceful location. Food was delicious especially the pizza we got on our last night. Everything you need. 😊 Thanks

Having to leave.

Toller Blick, schön eingerichtetes Zimmer, absolut ruhige Lage, sauber und komfortabel, leckeres Abendessen im hauseigenen Restaurant, feines Frühstück, für das man etwas zuzahlen muss

Die Lage, die Freundlickeit, das leckere Essen

Il panorama della camera è ineguagliabile, vista oceano. Il cibo era buonissimo. Se rimanete un po' ad Achill Island vi consiglio di fare una bella girata in bici sulla Greenway,ottima anche per portare bambini piccoli(nel carretto). Le info per noleggio bici potete chiederle direttamente al Pure Magic Lodge.

Il prezzo però è troppo per un monolocale,siamo stati in appartamenti molto più grandi e costavano meno🤨🤨

Really great food and coffee. Lovely staff. The room was spotlessly clean, and the bed super comfy (and massive!) There was a lovely warm, friendly feel in the place, and we would definitely stay again :)

There was a musty damp smell in the bathroom when we checked in - it may have been a drainage problem, or a ventilation issue? This was mentioned when checking out, and the manager couldn't have been more apologetic and wouldn't accept payment for breakfast/coffee to compensate for this.

A wonderful spot. We loved it. Great location for all of Achill. Very helpful and friendly service throughout our stay.

Nothing to comment on.

Emplacement magique sur Achill Island. Chouette restaurant, superbe petit déjeuner. Personnel adorable, qui nous a rendu un fier coup de main : merci encore !!!

Chambre un peu exiguë pour 5... Aucun moyen de faire sécher le linge de toilette. L'humidité était présente sur l'île et nous la ressentions jusque dans la chambre.

Location, staff, food and price

Mattresses were a little uncomfortable and the room was lacking in appliances and wardrobe storage for the family room.

Staff were lovely and helpful even with special requests. Food was also very nice.

Some of the furniture could be replaced such as ripped chairs and the bathroom in the rooms should be updated as there are alot of stains and looks untidy on the shower. But rest of the room was clean.

Le restaurant est sympa, bonnes pizzas, ambiance familiale, service efficace. Nous avons même pu écouter de la musique en live.

La chambre dont le descriptif ne correspond pas du tout à la réalité : très petite (largeur d’un lit sans possibilité d’ouvrir nos deux valises en bout), aucun rangement, aucune vue, aucun équipement, baignoire dégradé, bruit de la Vmc permanent, serviettes plus grises que blanches, un rapport qualité prix très négatif, nous ne sommes pas tombés sur une bonne chambre !

Great lodge with a super location on Achill island. Nice bar restaurant, and very friendly staff. The breakfast is also really nice.

The room we had was confortable, but close to the entrance, so a little bit noisy, but so far, I'll stay in this lodge again without a doubt.

Stunning location, really helpful staff, value for money, great food.. clearly a popular spot for these great reasons

Very little to not like, perhaps a little shabby in places.. but equally adds to the charm

Central part of the island, excellent location allowing easy exploring. Close to deserted village, tombs and beach. Gorgeous views. Restaurant on site is fab. Not noisy at all, which was surprising. Friendly staff

Equipe super, emplacement idéal et bar/restaurant accueillants.

La clarté de l'information sur le type de chambre que l'on réserve. Nous avons été surpris par la taille très petite de la chambre, rien sur le site n'indiquait ce type de chambre. La seule photo présente une chambre sur l'avant du lodge beaucoup plus grande.

Good location. Short 3K drive to beach. Room was clean. Handy having restaurant on site.

Long wait for table for food. Insufficient staff to meet needs of restaurant. Food cold at times. Not good value for the room.

Perfect location with stunning views, Super Good food and atmosphere! Having onsite dining was very convenient and a great value for quality of food. They had Great Live music and the staff was amazing! Would stay again!

Overall Excellent ! Maybe just add a shoe cleaning station at the front entrance like they have a golf courses to clean off footwear from accidentally stepping in the sheep’s droppings, but we loved seeing all the sheep!

L'emplacement, le très bon petit déjeuner, le personnel et bon diner

Le manque d équipements dans la chambre pas au niveau du prix payé. Pas porte serviettes pour une chambre familiale de 5 personnes. Pas de gel douche, de verres, pas un rangement pour les vêtements, pas de télévision. Les lits juste OK. C est dommage. J ai été déçue.

Location was great but bad weather spoilt it

Facilities weren’t great and room was not comfortable

Locatie is prima. Pizzeria en bar zijn leuk. Personeel is aardig.

De kamer is zeer basic, evenals de douche. Het continentaal ontbijt is geen aanrader.

The room was really spacious and we had a fab view. The place was really quiet apart from the sheep paying us a visit in the morning which was lovely: highly recommend the breakfast was an amazing loads of choices. We really loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Nothing to say everything was really good

We really loved this place! The room was cosy and comfy. The restaurant is getting busy at night as it's one of the few options on Achill and surely because it provided very good food. It's really in the middle of nowhere (or in the middle of sheep it depends), super quiet.

The location is breathtaking. Just at the foot of Slievemore mountain. The place is rugged, old school and a pure break from the ordinary. There are no digital screens around. No technology. You have a pool table or books to read and then take in the views of Keel bay. Have a drink, eat good food, chat with people and get away from the rush. Staff is friendly. There is live music. All the beautiful beaches within a short distance.

Nothing. It's absolutely great! It's a place untouched by over reaching digital tentacles. It's great as is.

Everything about the property was fantastic. The views were exceptional, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The only thing I didn’t like was having to leave!

Food was delicious

Nothing

Lovely facilities very clean place. Friendly staff lovely food. Would definitely stay again

L’emplacement de l’hôtel calme

Rien

Das einzige Schöne war die Aussicht und die nette Bedienung beim Abendessen.

Unser Zimmer war extrem klein und sehr stark in die Jahre gekommen. Die Zimmertür konnte nicht ganz geöffnet werden, da dort das Bett davor stand. Besagtes Bett (auf Rollen!!!) war unbequem und mit Haaren unserer Vorgänger verziert. Außerdem lag überall noch Sand auf den Laken. Auch der Müll der vorherigen Gäste war noch auf dem Nachttisch zu finden. Von der Hygiene im Badezimmer wollen wir Mal gar nicht sprechen... Haare in der Dusche, dreckige Duschwanne und klebriger Fußboden. Die Krönung war die defekte Holz-Toilette, die bei Benutzung wackelte! Unser Aufenthalt war sicherlich alles andere als "Magic".

The location is perfect and quiet. The staff were nice and helpful. Our room didn’t include a hairdryer, but the manager at reception kindly lent us one for the rest of our stay.

The restroom and bin were too small. Everything else was perfect!

The staff were so friendly, location is great and food was delicious.

L emplacement très bien situé, le personnel souriant et attentionné, le petit déjeuner et le repas du soir .

Dans la chambre, manque sèche-cheveux, portant pour vêtements ou étagère. Salle de bain trop petite.

Staff are amazing, location perfect, and overall just a great place! I've recommended this to do many friends and family, and already looking forward to going back again.

Look, what you got was basic, but it's exactly what you need for a great stay on Achill.

I loved absolutely everything. Such a beautiful location, perfect service, tasteful interior, stunning views and all it takes for a perfect holiday.

I would love a full Irish breakfast every morning.

Stayed for weekend and had a great weekend. Very relaxed atmosphere. Food was great and staff are so friendly and helpful.

Room smelled very musty but was comfortable

food was great, rooms excellent and staff were all lovely

Great location & wonderful views. Lovely & helpful staff. Comfortable bed. Pool table

No Tea & Coffee in the room. Bar only was able to serve beer & wine - no spirits Full breakfast was overpriced, as it didn’t have sausages, black & white pudding, Also didn’t have condiments like Brown Sauce or Tobasco for Pizza, etc.

We really enjoyed our stay here, it was nice and cosy. We had dinner at the restaurant and the food was really nice. The views from the lodge were amazing, we were travelling by car to explore the island, the lodge was conveniently located! Teresa was so helpful, she gave us information on the island and a map and she even gave us a lift to the village and she got us a reservation at the pub. The room was good, spacious and the value for money was good too. We would definitely stay here again.

The mattresses

Loved the location and the food and the fact I could bring our doggo with us!

Only gripe from me was the lack of plug sockets and the shower head that didn't work great.

Relaxed, friendly, comfortable

We've used Pure Magic for many years as a main restaurant option when we're on Achill. This time we stayed as overflow accommodation for a family gathering at our home nearby. The imaginative combination of an Irish vernacular building with electic French styling in reimagining the former McDowell's hotel, gives the accommodation real warmth and puts a smile on your face as you stay. The table service Breakfast was excellent, reception & checkin was friendly and relaxed, evening meal was up to it's usual high standard of French bistro style food, and our large group meal for 20 was accommodated with patience and 'Bon homie'.

All good.

We were staying in the room at the front of the building, which had outstanding views of the cliffs near Minaun Heights. The room was huge and we had plenty of space to organise our belongings! Breakfast was included in our booking, and even with our early check out, they provided us with a small basket of bread and fruits. The attached pub had excellent food, and was lively, but you could not hear the noise in the rooms quarter at all (good sound proofing maybe?). Our car was parked across the street, and with street lights nearby, it felt secure.

Our room got very cold in the night, but we did use the extra blankets to keep warm.

Small cozy & comfortable room. Very nice & comfortable bed. Very good heating. Hot water throughout the day. Few minutes away from Keel Beach and few minutes drive from other beaches around the Island. Excellent breakfast and lovely staff. Small restaurant and the food was awesome.

Pure magic is an amazing gem in the heart of achill. Loved the amazing views, location and the fabulous energy throughout the whole space. Service was amazing and authentic 🙌

That we couldn't stay longer!

all good

The staff were excellent, the food was exceptional - best pizza I've had in ages and overall a fantastic place to stay

The showers are very small and bathroom tiny

It is a beautiful place, beautiful location. The food in the restaurant was excellent.

The rooms are in need of updating,small, and tired. The bathroom needs an overhaul. Website photography did not match reality.

L'accueil et les informations pour séjourner etaient supers ! Tres bonne ambiance dans l'etablissement malgre une fin de saison. L'emplacement est ideal et nous avons beaucoup aime sejourner dans ce lieu un peu atypique.

Beaucoup d'humidite dans les chambres, les draps meriteraient un peu plus d'entretien et le petit dejeuner etait copieux mais en terme de qualite les produits pourraient etre mieux selectionnes pour se differencier et laisser une excellente note.

Location is great!

Food not great at all. Expensive for portion size and quality. Beds the most uncomfortable I've stayed on. Place not clean at all. Especially the bathroom. Will not be returning. Stay away.

The pure magic lodge is so magical. It really has a good name for the place. Staff are so friendly and so helpful.

Nothing.

Every dinner was delicious

Needed bedding for 3rd bed

Loved the location ..beautiful views! We had our small dog with us so had private entrance which was very handy..room was lovely and beds were very comfortable! Breakfast was delicious also..would stay again if in area!

Although dog friendly had to keep dog in room when eating which is common..but we were able to bring her into Ted's bar for dinner as she was unsettled the first evening when alone..she's not used to hearing the sheep outside 😀 would have loved tea/ coffee facilitates in the room !

The food was the best

Beds where not very comfortable

Petit dejeuné excellent et copieux Emplacement exceptionnel Personnel attentif

Aménagement de la salle de bain insuffisant (porte serviette ,portemanteau ,etagere manquant ...)

Lovely breakfast, really nice breads. Scrambled eggs were tasty too.

Missed sausages that’s about it.

perfect staff in a perfect place

Everything ,the rooms the theme just loves it . really homely so friendly .. so perfect a stay for viewing island. View for breakfast and from rooms stunning . It was so relaxing I just hated having to leave to be honest .

Missed not been able to get full Irish breakfast.but my french toast was finger licking and devine. .toast could been bit more done it was white yet tasted like toast it was only visual that I had issue with.

Tranquility
