It's really hard to rate this property, I wish I could review the hotel, the spa, and the…read morerestaurant separately. I did not book the hotel, we were booked by our tour company. Twin room was pretty small with a large bathroom and entry hall. We ended up storing our luggage in the hall. The soap and shampoo dispensers were really hard to use so we were left using a small bar of soap I happened to have with me. The shower did not drain well so I had to pause halfway through my shower to allow it to catch up. There is a towel warmer but we could not find the switch to turn it on. There is an electric kettle, but it's huge and difficult to fill from the absurdly small bathroom tap. I had a seaweed bath in the spa. Very enjoyable but I had asked at booking if I should bring anything with me and was told no. So I got in the jacuzzi buck naked. Fortunately I was the only one there but when my bath was ready, the spa matron informed me I should have brought swimwear for the communal portion of the facility. I think the restaurant is their strongest element. Breakfast buffet was excellent. One could assemble a full Irish or any portion of thereof. Dinner is price fixed either 2 or 3 courses. Simpler fare can be ordered in the adjacent bar. I especially enjoyed the Chicken Supreme with apple pie and ice cream for dessert. My vegan companion enjoyed the tofu appetizer and the vegan chocolate cake with lime sorbet. The bar menu is comprehensive including a sophisticated selection of wines in any price range.

Went for a tour of a local island with this company last summer, and had a great time!…read more The tour guide was able to give us loads of information on the history and heritage of the island, seal spotting was included and then we were brought to a spot where we could swim and jump off the rocks into the water and just have fun in the sun, a great family day out for all, adults and children alike. I will note that kayaking can be quite a tiring activity, especially if you are younger or abit smaller in build (such as myself) it can be tough to paddle against the current, however the instructor/tour guide keeps a close eye on everyone and provides encouragement along the way, and it is worth it once you get to land and can enjoy the beauty that Ireland has to offer. We were exceptionally lucky, the day we kayaked was sunny (a rare occasion indeed!), but seeing as you are already getting wet from being in the sea I can imagine it would matter too much if there was a small shower or too throughout the day! The tour took a good couple of hours, including the kayak in and out to the island and back to the mainland, so I recommend bringing supplies with you (including a picnic of sorts, suncream, sunglasses, water and sensible shoes are a must!). Also be wary, parts of the tour can be quite overgrown, as this island is uninhabited, so while shorts may be needed for nice weather, longer, lightweight trousers may be a good idea to pack! The tour guide was friendly and positive throughout, another bonus, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to do something a little more active and outside of the box.

This was one of my favorite activities in Doolin. A great way to experience the beauty of Ireland…read more If you like adventure, this is for you. Guides are great at reading the weather - and you can tell they love what they do.

We had an enjoyable time kayaking on Keel Lake with Achill Surf in July '18. There were two of us…read morewho were placed in a group with a family of three. There were two instructors and both were helpful and friendly. At the start of the lesson we went through the basics of getting in and out of the kayak, how to recover if we topple over and how to paddle correctly. We also covered some additional techniques on the lake. Changing facilities were provided on site along with free use of wet suits and safety gear. The lesson cost €35 per adult or €25 per child and lasted for two hours. Recommended for anyone visiting Achill and suitable for a wide range of ages.
