    We loved everything here. The location and view was incredible. Our hosts were very friendly and engaging and so knowledgeable. Breakfasts were the best best so far. Overall, Teach Cruachen felt warm and homey, and we would highly recommend.

Teach Cruachan has all the comforts of home, and it's in a stunning location, overlooking the ocean on the Wild Atlantic Way. The house is nearly 100 years old, so some of the rooms are quite compact, but we hope they have everything you need and they're cozy and comfortable.
We love meeting people and introducing them to Achill Island - our little bit of heaven! We try to make your stay memorable. We've been married for 35 years and we're still speaking to each other, so we make a good team :)
Keem Bay, one of the Signature Discovery Points on the Wild Atlantic Way, is only 5 minutes away. We are within walking distance of three pubs and a restaurant, and a short stroll will bring you to the dock, where you can see the resident dolphins.
