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.

We selected The Red River Lodge based on the Four Star rating by AA, as well as the friendly response to our inquiries by the proprietor Dolores. We were not in any way disappointed. The house is lovely, and the grounds beautiful and well kept. The first thing to strike us was the quiet and the smell of the fresh country air. I wish we could have bottled both! Breakfasts are traditional Irish with some modern additions, and everything was delicious. The host is attentive and extremely accommodating. Rooms are spacious, well lit, astonishingly clean, and very comfortable. You won't want to leave! The views of the Moy River will set up some wonderful photo opportunities. It's about a mile out of town (2KM) so you might need a car if you want to experience Ballina, but there are taxi services available in town. If you are movement impaired, be aware that this is a home and may not be wheelchair friendly, but there are ground level rooms available. Prices are very reasonable. It's not open year round, but when it is, you could not do better than to stay here!

We turned up on her doorstep one evening after seeing the lone five star review for Red River Lodge on Yelp. And we were so glad we did. The house is beautiful. Bright and welcoming, but still has a family house feel. At the front there is a really nice lawn and garden. You can also see the Moy River from the location. Dolores showed us around the house that was open to guests to use. There was very comfortable front room that looked extremely inviting. The breakfast room was fabulous and bright. I could call it a conservatory, but it was more than just that. The front hall, a room in itself, had water and tea station that you could help yourself too. The bedroom was comfy and warm. The bed was dressed fabulously in a plush throw and pillows. You could also see the river from here too, as it was at the front of the house. For breakfast, well that was top notch. There was a choice of Full Irish, scrambled egg or pancakes which you picked the night before. I went for the pancakes. Delicious. Coffee was excellent also. I said at the start that Dolores was a treasure. She is. She had so much to recommend to us in the area, which included a map of the town. She told us where to go for dinner and it turned out to be the best meal of our whole trip (see my Brennan's Lane review). We had a really nice conversation after breakfast before we departed. A lovely lady. It was 65 EUR for the two of us for one night and it was worth every cent.

We'd been calling to let them know we'd be a late and they were so nice that it really took the worry out of the last bit of the drive. We booked the 3 room suite between 3 of us and it was absolutely gorgeous! Each room decorated to a really high standard and we even had our own sitting room in the house. We started a bottle of wine the 1st night and were using whatever tumblers were available (we're classy like that), but the 2nd night they had left 3 wine glasses beside the remaining wine for us! Breakfast was absolutely gorgeous. Really recommend the full Irish breakfast. They also had a little buffet with fruit, cereal and yoghurts. And not just any yoghurts, the fancy crunch corner ones! The wifi is free, but you must ask for the code. It works best from the new building. The B&B was originally just the house, but when their son took over he built a 2nd building with more rooms and a lovely dining and sofa area for breakfast. Would very much recommend it for stays on Achill or for the Greenway cycle. We did the Greenway and hired bikes out in Mulranny because we wanted to start there. We didn't get to see the bikes first though and they ended up being poor quality. Achill Lodge rent and sell bikes and you can see that they are well maintained before you spend your money. So would recommend their bike rental also if the location suits you.

Right out of a movie. Nothing but positive things to say about this place. The innkeeper welcomed my wife and me and our two teenage boys. We had a two room family suite with two different amazing views. Highly recommended. Oh, and he recommended the local pub for dinner which was fantastic.

The rooms, themselves, may accommodate 1-5 people with either one, two, or three beds per room. Bright, clean rooms with large windows and warm, cozy comforters. Bathrooms are clean and sinks are located outside the bathrooms. Daily room cleanings as well! Tip: open the cabinet and youll find a hairdryer so you dont need to bust out your converter if you need to dry your hair. Free wifi but certain locations in the guesthouse are more glitchy than others. Breakfast here hits the spot. Choices between a full irish breakfast (comprising of sausage, eggs, ham, pancakes, white and black pudding plus tomatoes with beans/mushrooms) or poached eggs on test or scrambled eggs on toast. Theres a spread placed out with cereals, granola, fruits, yogurt and juices. Coffee or tea? Probably my favorite question of the morning. Ive drank an average of 3 cups of coffee per morning.

As much as we wanted to leave, we had no other choice but to stay since every hotel at Carrick-on-Shannon was already booked for the weekend. Despite of the circumstances, we actually have come to love the accommodations being offered. In fact, we couldn't be anymore happier for this bed and breakfast to be our first especially due to how Charlotte and her husband treated us throughout our stay. The rooms were quite clean with really comfortable beds. One big plus was the private bathroom with plenty hot water to go around. Found it a little weird, however, to have the sink situated right outside the bathroom. There's also television and free Wi-Fi to keep everyone entertained. Best part of staying here: breakfast!! This is one of those few moments when I couldn't wait till the next day just to have a full Irish brekkie. Haven't eaten much black and white puddings before but I found the ones from here far better than what I had in restaurants around Dublin. They also have a buffet of fresh fruits, yogurt and granola for those wanting to start out their day with a lighter meal. Overall, Aisleigh (pronounced as "Ashley") Guest House is one of the better establishments in Co. Leitrim that provides both housing and breakfast. I'd definitely stay here again over other hotels around the area.
