Achill Guest House
Achill Guest House was nice and in a good location to explore. It was centrally located to various locations around Birmingham. Upon arrival, the host was hard to reach. She did not answer the doorbell or the phone at first. On the third call she came out and showed us to our room. She was very enthusiastic about her home and the area around it. The room was relatively clean. There were a few bugs and the towels were stained. The host did quickly replace them. The disco bath was funny but the shower curtain did have some mold spots on it which was unfortunate because there was no avoiding touching it due to how the shower was set up. On the second night, another guest parked in two spaces leaving no space for our car. We were able to get a spot on a side road near the home. There was also no hot water. We called the host multiple times before she picked up. She said she was out and told us to run the water because it takes a few min to turn on. There was still no hot water. She was out so her husband had to turn on the hot water. She seemed frustrated with us that the tank ran out despite us not being in for several hours that night. She said her tank held enough for 5 houses. Eventually the hot water returned at nearly midnight. The host did not further accommodate or acknowledge the issue despite knowing this was a work trip with early mornings. Reasonable stay but likely will not return.
