lovely host and a fantastic location. Breakfast very filling and hostess could not be more helpful. view from the breakfast room is spectacular. Get a room with seaside view if possible and go to Keem Beach its a piece of paradise.

Just returned from a 5 day stay a Teach Cruachan, had an excellent time. Room was very clean, warm and a great comfy bed. Breakfasts were fantastic, served in a room overlooking the sea, and always more tea and toast on offer, not that any more could be eaten after that breakfast! Roisin and Michael made us feel so welcome,... More

Kate and Dom, it was a pleasure meeting you over the St Patrick's weekend. It's just a pity the weather wasn't great on the day, but the mostly dry weather on the other days hopefully made up for it. We look forward to welcoming you again to Teach Cruachán :) Kind regards, Roisin and Michael More

I stayed at Teach Cruachan and we got a Cead Mile failte welcome when we arrived. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was immaculate, warm and welcoming. The breakfast was marvellous. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will be back again later on in the year.

Just back from Achill Island and I can honestly say that Teach Cruachan is one of the best B&B's I have ever stayed in. I could not find fault in either cleanliness, comfort or quality of the breakfast. The friendliness of the hosts was excellent and they made us feel very much at home. The separate guest lounge was great... More

During our one week stay during the Kite Surf Pro World Championship Event last year we could not have felt any more welcome and at home! If it was the bagpipe welcome, the amazing Irish breakfasts or the evenings in front of the turf fired fires.. We enjoyed every bit of it! Thanks so, so much again for everything!

When arriving for my second stay at Teach Cruachan in July 2012 I realized, it's something like "coming home". The rooms are clean and located in a very calm area - no unwanted noises.

A really outstanding place to stay for loads of reasons. Michael and Roisin, the owners, were very welcoming and always on hand to give advice and have a chat.

I found the breakfast in Teach Cruachan to be extraordinarily good. Guests can choose from different tasty and really complete dishes. Add the ocean view in the dining room and you are set for a wonderful day on Achill Island. Roisin and Michael were great hosts and I would really like to return to their place one day.

Hey Djogo, thanks a million for your kind words. We really enjoyed having the KSP group in October. You were working so hard on your filming and editing, it's a wonder you got a chance to warm yourself at the fire :). Delighted the wireless broadband was good enough for you to upload videos too. Hopefully we'll see you again... More
