We have a wonderful terrace at the front of the cottage where you can enjoy breath-taking views, beautiful sunsets, and wildlife spotting! There are many delicious local cafes and restaurants nearby and, of course, plenty of pubs to quench your thirst, enjoy live music, and embrace Irish craic!

Local area

• The Westport area has a splendid array of pubs, restaurants, and cafes. Our favourite pub, The Tavern, is a mere 10-minute walk away! Campbells at the Reek (the pub at the bottom of Croagh Patrick) is a 15-minute walk away. The pubs of Westport are a wonderful place for Guinness, live music and Irish craic!
• The local area is an exciting place to enjoy adventures and activities, including hiking (our cottage is a great base for climbing Croagh Patrick!), cycling, sailing, kayaking and horse riding. For those who are brave enough, a dip in the Atlantic Ocean also makes for a refreshing start to any day!
• Fancy a road trip? Get ready for epic adventures through the Connemara National Park, exploring ‘hidden gem’ beaches, and holding onto your seats as you enjoy the views of the impressive sea cliffs on Achill Island.
• A brilliant place to keep active. Westport is home to a beautiful golf course and there are many wonderful coastal routes for runners to enjoy (guaranteed to make you the envy of your Strava followers!) If you are a Park Run enthusiast, then join the Westport locals for a Saturday morning dash.
• If you enjoy cycling then you must check out the Great Western Greenway, a 42km cycle from Westport to Achill Island. There are several cycle hire shops in Westport who can assist!
• A great area for wildlife spotting! Keep your eyes peeled for seals, birds, wild rabbit and, if you are lucky, perhaps you will see a dolphin! A local farmer also uses the land surrounding the cottage for his sheep…it’s always sweet to visit during lambing season!
• Also it's a great area for Hollywood location spotting! Visit the filming locations of ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’ on Achill Island and the filming locations of ‘The Quiet Man’ in the nearby town of Cong. Even the late John Lennon enjoyed visiting the Clew Bay area!
• Looking for a relaxing break? We can truly recommend that a wood fired sauna experience at the local beach of Old Head will be a great start to your day! The cottage is also a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxing movie night in front of the cosy log burner, breath in the fresh sea air from the terrace and star gaze by night.
• For the beer enthusiasts, we recommend a tour of the Mescan Brewery.
• For those with children, Westport also has a cinema, a leisure centre, a playground and a skatepark. You will also find places to play football, rugby and Gaelic football.

• Before booking the cottage please be aware that the check-in time is from 4pm onwards and check-out is by no later than 10.30am. This is to allow sufficient time to clean/prepare the cottage between guests (particularly during the busy spring/summer period).
• There are carbon monoxide alarms and smoke alarms fitted throughout.
• Please note that the cottage is supplied with fresh water direct from the mountains. The water is filtered prior to it flowing through our taps. The water can appear a bit tinted in colour, however it is safe to use. We would recommend buying bottled drinking water in a local supermarket

- "We turned 60 and wanted to take time to return to the mother land and truly enjoy the countryside. We did much traveling initially first week but had this amazing home for 14 nights… the gorgeous view of Clew Bay… the local town of Westport were all simply spectacular. Everything we could have needed in comfort of the warmth and love in a home was found here. The home is scaled Redrianne with much family history of the owners … you walk in the home and can feel the amazing peacefulness of arriving home. We adored this home and all it offered…."
