An idyllic old stone traditional Irish cottage on a private site with an architect designed modern extension and spectacular views of mountain and sea. An ideal romantic love nest on the west coast of Ireland. Dugort's gorgeous Blue Flag beach is directly across the road - walk over from the cottage for a stroll, go for a swim or take your kayak out for a paddle - it's all right on your doorstep!
Achill Island is an amazing place. Myself and my family have been holidaying there for years. We have developed a beautiful cottage that we rent and hope our guests enjoy the experience.
An amazing traditional seaside cottage with half-door to the beach. The Old Cottage is Quality Assured with Failte Ireland's Welcome Standard. The cottage is on the Wild Atlantic Way, The Blue Way , The Greenway. Music and Craic close by.
