VISITOR REVIEWS

A little piece of island magic

Highly recommend a visit to Inishturk Island, off Mayo. This is a very special place with a welcoming community, beautiful landscape, nourishing walks, and fabulous swimming spots. We stayed for four nights in the community-owed and run Craggy Cottages which we highly recommend. Although a small island, the scenery changes every day with the weather and each day brings its own highlights. This was our first visit and will not be our last.

A Hidden Haven on the Wild Atlantic Way

Inishturk Island enchants with its dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and warm island charm. Wander along peaceful trails, relax on its Green Coast beach, and experience heartfelt hospitality that makes every moment unforgettable — a true paradise off Ireland’s west coast.

A real untouched piece of rugged Irish coastline.

There are cliffs as impressive as the Cliffs of Moher. A small country town feel. Semi challenging hiking. 360 degree views across Mayo and the Atlantic. And the best part is that very few tourists come here. It really should be a must visit on anyone’s bucket list.

A walk on the wild side

Spent three nights at Craggy Cottages (no 2) on Inishturk Island. The dry sunny weeks had come to an end and we got plenty of wind and rain but that only added to the experience. Mary picked us up from the ferry, after a somewhat lumpy 50 minute trip from Roonagh, and brought us to the cottages towards the west side of the island. The cottage is very new, spotlessly clean and it has been fitted out with all possible needs. Beds very comfortable, area very quiet and remote. Showers had incredible pressure! Heating perfect.
