Independent hotels in Keel, Achill Island

"The property is large and was ideally arranged for us. Coming in from the beach or a walk into a utility area so the wet kayaking gear could be removed and hung up. We were able to put the dog crate in the next room, plenty of space so she went straight in from outside. We took a ramp for the one step at the back so my wheelchair got in. There are however 2 steps from the lounge up to the bedrooms, so not fully wheelchair accessible. I was able to cope with the 2 steps Both lounges have comfortable reclining sofas. Excellent having 2 lounges if you are a larger group. The kitchen was very well stocked, and brilliant supply of food, cooking bits and pieces. One of the best i have been to. The master bedroom has a superb view and for me to be able to rest or stay in bed and see the bay was fantastic. All the bedrooms looked good, though we only used one. Like any property this size it is possible to find an area that is ready for some tlc, but overall a well maintained property, large gardens right on the shoreline, superb views all ways round a fantastic place to stay. Highly recommend for everyone but especially if you want to use the bay for boating of any description. Lovely rock pools full of life and access to the sea all day. There is not a sandy beach but plenty of access points to the water. I loved kayaking round to the castle and around the bay. Not a huge amount of wildlife, but we did see herons and egrets one week was too short"

"We enjoyed our stay, beatiful country! House was perfect!!"

"Lovely hotel staff very polite and helpful "

"We stayed in the Lodge, where we had comfortable beds, ample room, and lovely natural light. The hotel is on the Great Western Greenway, which we didn't realize or we would have arranged a longer stay to do some more hiking. Everything was more than satisfactory - the owner even went out of his way to make up for a quite minor inconvenience during check-in. We likely won't go back to Ireland for a while - there's a lot of world to see! - but when we do, Nevin's will definitely be on our list of places. An excellent option for lodging, especially if you're a hiker or cyclist."

"Great location, walkable distance to Belmullet. We had a really lovely meal in the restaurant - staff were lovely. The room had a great view but was let down by a few things: the toilet didn’t flush, the light above the sink didn’t work and I wasn’t able to remove the rubber plug to release the bath water. Also, the fire alarm went off briefly during the night. Not major issues but spoiled what could have been a great stay. Also, when reported to the receptionist when checking out, she didn’t appear too concerned. "

"Excellent hotel with amazing friendly staff. Very convenient location and good food. Very comfortable beds. We absolutely loved our stay at The Talbot. Will return"

"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."
