Established in 1952, Lavelle’s Seaside House and Mickey’s Bar is situated in the picturesque seaside village of Dooega, on the Wild Atlantic Way, cradled between the Atlantic Ocean and Knockmore and Minaun hills, with stunning views towards Clare Island, Inishboffin and Inishturk, and just a 5 minute walk to one of Achill’s Blue flag beaches.
There’s so much to do on Achill that visitors will be spoilt for choice, with swimming, walking, cycling, golf, angling, surfing, kayaking, painting and photography all on your doorstep. Or you can spend a day simply just appreciating the breathtaking scenery and historical sites of interest such as the Deserted Village, and Pirate Queen Grace O’Malley’s keep.
The beautiful village of Dooega is miles away from the hustle and bustle of ordinary day modern living. On a calm evening, the turf smoke rises skyward and scents the air, and you can walk along the headlands or stroll down to the jetty to meet the fishing boats coming in. Lavelle’s Seaside House offers a range of accommodation including en-suite family rooms, single and double en-suite rooms, as well as a number of modern double and twin en-suite rooms with stunning sea views across the Atlantic. Guests can enjoy their comfortable residents lounge, complete with its cosy, open fire.
After a day exploring the island, it’s time to relax in the adjoining Mickey’s Bar, or Mickey’s as the locals call it, a typical small village, country pub, where everybody meets. A public bar with a great pint, where locals and visitors mingle, people make arrangements for tomorrow and discuss real issues of the day like the weather, the days fishing, the hay, the turf, and the football! and occasionally, it’s all rounded off with an impromptu singsong. Lavelle’s is the perfect base for your Achill adventure.
