Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Lynott’s is the best spot to have a drink whilst feeling that you are in another era with the traditional features of the original building. A lovely fire to relax by too!

We were traveling as a family from the United States in the off season throughout county Mayo - and we were pleasantly surprised to find this gem of a pub open and welcoming. The warm fire and atmosphere were a nice break from the chilly...wind outside. We consider ourselves very lucky to have visited when we did as the crowds were almost nonexistent and we really got to enjoy each place on a personal level. This little pub is a must stop if traveling to Achill Island.More

The loveliest pint I have had in a while. Cosy set up where you can imagine sitting for hours with a pint and a paper. Worth stopping off off. Be warned they only take cash.

Thi spub is so quaint that it is a magnet to all who happen to hear of it and can find it tucked away off the roadside. So many old and historic paintings and prints recalling Ireland in earlier times. With old sewing machine tables...and a roaring fire it truly is a delight.More

The illuminated Guinness sign outside this tiny house caught our attention so we headed in for some lush pints. The barmaid was friendly, engaging and runs a beautifully quaint pub which offers the warmth of an open fire. Lovely spot.

We went to Lynotts pub twice during our visit to Achill. We loved the look of the place and that it's filled with locals. The Guinness was so tasty and the live music on a Friday night was excellent. Would love to come back again...soon.More
