We stayed in the Strand after looking at various hotel reviews o the Island. Their website must have another hotel somewhere else as the one we booked was a pitiful example. The building requires a health and safety review, the top landing was like a springboard, the front rooms we got where appalling, on suite was a converted wardrobe area. You had to enter it sideways. The room was freezing, I requested heating but it was ignored. Every other hotel on the island that we passed had full carparks. In the three days we stayed at the Strand, there were three cars, one being ours. The food was terrible, frozen fish and frozen mixed vegetables. The second night we ate at another hotel, despite having paid for our meals at the Strand. Another Interesting fact was, the chef later turned into the barman and next morning he was up a ladder repairing guttering.I blame the tourist Board for not issuing a health warning on these premise.

This is such a great pub- really friendly staff and great views over the bay. They host many events- music nights and yawl sailing in the summer. Well worth a visit.

Mickeys bar is on the Atlantic Drive in beautiful Achill Island, from the outside it looks just like an ordinery country pub, but the food is brilliant, if you like seafood chouder its beautiful, I believe the owners are fishermen themselves and serve the freshest of fish. The rest of the food is cooked to order using fresh ingredients.

We came here for the Guinness and we left very happy (unlike the bartender), possibly the best Iâve tasted anywhere across Ireland.First day we sat inside and there was a good atmosphere and the second day we sat in the hot sunshine out front and chatted with some locals.I canât speak of anything but the Guinness really but worth visiting just to sample it here.

Come to Connaughton's Bar (part of the Achill Sound Hotel) for a quick lunch bite, full evening meals or an evening pint and chats with Peter and the Connaughton family about the local area.

Our family stopped in one afternoon for lunch. My son and husband had fish and chips, one of the best we've had while in Ireland. The fish was a good sized filet and was perfectly cooked. It was excellent! My daughter, the vegetarian had a burrito, which was good. I had a smoked salmon and prawn salad plate. It was excellent as well. The hospitality and service were the best we received on our entire trip. The owner was incredibly gracious and welcoming. The hotel was recommended to us biy my cousin, who lives in a neighboring county. After we paid the bill, the owner came outside and gave us an Achill magnet. Highly recommend it.

Atmospheric pub with lovely peat fires, even in August. Our group was warmly welcomed for coffee and excellent scones and then later back for lunch. Plenty of room and friendly service.

A quiet Friday evening in Lynotts, Achill Island with a lovely pint of Guinness and music from the Auld Triangle, started at 5.30 and went on for a few harmonious hours. Lynotts has a great atmosphere about it and the pint is wonderful, definitely worth a visit.

We went in the cafe part the other day. We have 2 young children. There were 2 tables free, we chose the one near the back beside the service counter as we had buggies and not wanting to be in peoples way. As soon we sat the girl gave us the menu, didnât offer a baby chair and didnât see one on the cafe. After 15 mins no order was taken and no one came to us. We tried to get a waitresses attention for so long. Then 3 people walked in and took the other table that was free. Within 10 minutes there orders were taken and coffee was delivered to their table. Waitress kept looking at our table but purposely not making eye contact so we couldnât get her attention. After choosing quiet a bit of food from their menu we decided to walk out after 15/20 mins. They decided to service the other table first and sold 3 coffee therefore loosing a sale of â¬30 plus euros. Donât recommend this place at all.

Recently visited the Amethyst restaurant for a family celebration. We received a great welcome from the manager. The staff upstairs were engaging to a point, but on occasion we were left with no service at all. It was hard to get their attention. The food is average. You can order anything from a burger and chips to duck. The food needs some attention. The portion sizes are just too big. They leave little room for the main course or dessert. The prawns are rather disappointing. Expected something special as Achill prides itself on its seafood. The steak was on the tough side rather than been juicy. Fish and chips, and curry went down well with the rest of the party. Food is reasonably priced. I will go back but will make sure I only order the main course. It was definitely food overload. With a fine bit of tuning, this could be a great spot to visit.
