Barr an Uisce is a beautiful detached cottage, which has just undergone a full refurbishment that is in a quiet, coastal location on Achill Island. Views from the cottage of the Curraun mountains to the Michael Davitt bridge at Achill Sound. Barr an Uisce overlooks the sea, with unspoilt views. Ideal for Artists with splendid uninterrupted scenic views for painting and writing. With the sea just yards from the cottage, "Barr an Uisce" is a perfect retreat for a couple or a small family looking for a peaceful base on Achill Island. @barranuisceachill @thepaintersrest
