My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here. Our experience from check in to check out was amazing. Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their hotel and restaurant. We highly suggest staying for a few days to a longer visit based on their service, high standards, and central location.

Amazing location and staff. Breakfast at the restaurant is great, we didn’t get a chance to try dinner but that’s part of the reason we have to comeback. Locals are terrific, welcoming, and fun!! Looking forward to booking another trip there soon.

We had a great stay at The Cliff House. Great big room right across from the beach. The restaurant is good too, breakfast and dinner. Achill Island is stunning, not to be missed.

Location is excellent. Achill is beautiful. Hotel staff friendly. Food portions in the restaurant very large - American sizes! Bed very hard unless that is what you like.

A fine hotel in a great location near the beach in Keel. A nicely cooked breakfast each morning & the on site restaurant offers some excellent dinner choices. Great views of the Atlantic Ocean and sea cliffs. Easy cycling distance to the Deserted Village, the aquarium, & Keem strand.

When we arrived we were excited to see they had a sauna (but they didn't tell us that it's only open from 4 - 6 p.m.) - when we requested to go in at 7:30 p.m. they wouldn't turn it on for us. They also only offer dinner from 6-8 p.m. - just FYI. The food was great. We also thought the mattresses were old and also the water pressure isn't great - the location is ideal - but I probably wouldn't stay here again....
