You close your eyes and feel the scorching sun washing over you and the sounds of not so distant waves are drumming out a relaxing beat against the shore. That was my welcome to the Bervie guesthouse on Achill. The place itself is beautiful with years and years of love infused into it. The rooms are bright, airy, clean and comfortable and the hosts are lovely people. They do an awesome deal for a weekend B and B with one night's dinner for around 160 Euro. This is all great but I haven't even started talking about the food yet. The breakfast was out of this world. Proper full Irish and every ingredient tasted fresh and delicious. There was a great buffet option as well with cereals and fruit etc as well as some lighter options like poached eggs and Salmon. Then we had the dinner. Wow. Best food I have tasted in an age. I had confit duck, lamb sausage and haricot beans for starter. Steak, amazingly done, with mushrooms infused with wine and veg and mash and roast spuds. Followed by a passionfruit crème brulee. I don't think I can even describe how good this food was but you can see the pics for a rough idea! The whole guest house is superb, right on the beach in one of the most spectacular spots in Ireland. I will be back, lots and lots. I cannot recommend this place enough! I'd give it 10 Stars if I could!

We stayed at the Bervie on our honeymoon in July 2013. We could not have asked for a better B&B, a…read morebetter location, or a better hostess. It had been unseasonably hot for Ireland so I had not packed adequately and purchased some shorts and t-shirts for the 85 degree weather. By the time we arrived in Keel I had worn all the clothes I purchased so we asked Elizabeth if there was a laundry nearby to wash them. She would not think of it, she took the clothes and washed them for us. I'm extremely particular about my laundry, I only air dry my clothes and Elizabeth was so accommodating to hang them outside to dry. The room was perfect and only finished second to the amazing views from our window. The beds were as comfortable as home, the beach is only 200 meters outside your door, and Elizabeth even got us a bottle of wine to enjoy as we watched the night fade over the ocean. We could not have asked for a more perfect experience.

Yes, B&B's here in Galway are a dime a dozen, but there's a reason why this place literally books out. Why? The free tourist information. The location. The breakfast selection. (I'm talking Full Irish breakfast to cereals to pancakes and porridge) And yes, the people. We stayed in room #6 on the second floor. We arrived much earlier than the 2-3pm check-in time, so Matt took our luggage from us and suggested we go into the city centre to explore. That was exactly what we did. Before we left, he wrote on a card which buses we were to take there and back again, and it was very helpful. Not many places I know would even bother to do that much for you. I loved the skeleton key for our room! I felt like I was so far away; well, Ireland is far from New York, so... Our room was perfect - small and cozy with a private bath. The mini fridge was a huge lifesaver for nights we had sandwiches or had a beer in bed (keeping it classy). The shower had wonderful water pressure, and every night we returned to the room, everything was immaculately clean; so wonderful. Yes, this is a bit outside the city centre, but for an unbeatable price, you won't miss being away from tourists and all the hype. Thank you for being a part of our honeymoon!

Her dinner recommendation was spot-on -- completely delicious. We stayed in Room #6 on the top floor, which had skylights and 4 beds (1 double and 2 singles). It was perfect for the 3 of us. The decore is modern and clean. There are guidebooks to leaf through, tea to enjoy and bottled water in the common space. There is guest off-street parking. Access to Galway City by bus is just steps from the front door -- and although Galway is relatively easy to navigate, I do recommend the 2 euro one-way fare, which takes you right into the middle of the city. Breakfast was either at 8am or 9am and orders are taken the night before. Thank you for the DELICIOUS homemade brown bread. It was the best of any place we had it throughout the whole visit to Ireland. For anyone with mobility concerns, there are stairs to all guest rooms.

Said rooms have a very modern feel which i found a nice esacpe from the usual rustic offers these kind of places normally have, and all have flat panel televisions for when the weather is just too much. The B+B is ran by a young family that have strong roots in Ireland where their parents were born and her mother was born near where the B+B is located. The hosts themselves were born in Great Britain, and moved to Ireland to start this B+B. I myself found this fascinating
