Nothing, it was fantastic.

Val was an exceptional host, he met us at the property and talked us through everything to do with the house and the island itself. The house was cosy and clean with everything we needed. The location is fantastic, 2 minutes walk from the stunning Dugort beach. We will certainly return to Ocean View.

Trying to avoid the sheep poo, but that's no one's fault, it's part of the island and what makes it so unique 🤗🤗

I love staying at this property, everything is perfect, location, the spaciousness of the house and it's so relaxing perfect for our holiday and needs.

Second time staying in Ocean View. It is home from home , Val is a wonderful host , really lovely man and so helpful and kind. The location is a stones throw from Dugort beach. Which is one of the most beautiful beaches in all the land . I could sit on the sand or swim in the sea for hours

Not 'didn't like' ie wrong question Booking.com!! Constraints are distance from facilities like groceries, newspapers, bakerys, butchers, etc but this is Achill, and north of island, exposed to Atlantic and very challenging environment for locals to live year around...easy for guests to nit pick...visible signs of area deprived economically which is sad to observe, given the proliferation of holiday homes, which as an outsider, begs the question why is the tourist season confined so much to june/July as many seasonal businesses hadn't begun to be fully operational mid May, could be wrong but we toured all corners in 4 days after hiking.

Val prepared a property fully kitted out, spotless and comfortable, with attention to detail. Location was subjective and in our case 150%. We had a great stay as a result.

The location, the beds all the facilities. Excellent dog friendly accommodation. I would highly recommend this accommodation to families and groups we had everything we needed and Val the host was very welcoming.

Val's cottage was perfect for our family of four. We had lots of space and kitchen was equipped with everything you may need. It's also a short stroll to amazing beach and kids loved local sheep dog that came to greet us everyday. There was very good communication from the owner as Achill was hit by major storm just days earlier. I thought that we would need to cancel but Val managed to have everything up and running for us. Top notch. We'll definitely stay again.

The heating didn't work but we didn't want to make a fuss so we just used the open fire as the weather was very mild. I was supposed to take my dogs but decided not to and put them in kennels. Had I taken them, they would not have been happy about the dogs there that live near by and come into the property if the door is left ajar. One of my dogs is very friendly but my chiuahaha is not when it comes to other dogs and this would have meant a lot of hassle. Also the dogs pooed outside the front door on one occasion and my little one stood in it. Some people really don't like dogs either so a fair warning if this would bother you.

House is lovely. Much bigger than the photos make it seem. Living room has a double bed and downstairs toilet to the back, very handy if you're disabled. Upstairs has 2 double beds and a single. It's very clean and comfortable.
