Well run and located near the water, this is a wonderful B and B with a thoughfully prepared breakfast. Anne, the proprietor, is a gracious and concerned host. The home offers complimentary tea and coffee service and a large, comfortable lounge for guests. We enjoyed our dinner at the Bistro, a newer restaurant nearby.

Me and my gf visited Achill Island just a week ago and spent 4 nights at the Marian Villa. From what we experienced and what i have read here on tripadvisor from some folks is completely different. We are from Germany and we are used to have a pretty high standard, whether it is the food, the accommodation or the... More

What a lovely time both my boyfriend and I had in Keel, Achill Island at Joyce's Marian Villa Guest House- A very nurturing, kind environment we were surrounded in. Especially due to the way Ann( lady who looked after guest house) looked after all the guests in making sure everything ok and putting the effort in such a lovely time.... More

Joyce's guesthouse is absolutely fine if you're in Keel for a night or two and not planning on spending much time in your room. Ours was a bit small and the bed was too, and yes, the tv is tiny and should be in a museum! The decor is a little outdated but we didn't really mind that.If you're not... More

The accommodation at the guesthouse is average at best. The decor and furnishings are very dated. The shower was barely more than a dribble so it took a loooong time to have a shower. The television was the smallest I have ever seen, it was about the size of an ipad and it was inconveniently located on a little stool... More

We found this lovely guest house by chance. Fantastic welcome and breakfast 5 star! Anne is knowledgeable and helpful with all sorts of suggestions and information about the island. The place is immaculate with none of the 'eccentric' plumbing and wiring that we have so often found on the west coast. Will certainly visit again.

This is the most wonderful B and B. We stayed here for two nights in May and Ann is lovely and helpful. The food and the atmosphere is wonderful and the place is so clean. I would highly recommend this B and B and we will be returning here again in September!

If you haven't experienced Anne's, why not! Lovely breakfast and charming host. And my god the view!! Pity they didn't do dinners as well. As the food on offer in the Keel village is seriously over priced for what they serve. The room was lovely and bed good. Shower warm clean and new. Warm even after a midnight swim!

Just back after a 3 day stay, the room was clean and it was certainly not small. The breakfasts were very good with an excellent choice of fresh fruit, cereals and yogurt, followed by a cooked breakfast to order. What more do you need. Ann Joyce is friendly and welcoming, that is what I would expect of a family run... More
