“This guest house strikes me as a particularly good choice for those wanting a quieter location still within easy reach of Westport's attractions. The recent renovations to this 1930s cottage seem to have been thoughtfully executed, especially considering the needs of travelers with pets. I think the combination of a full Irish breakfast using local ingredients and the garden, makes it a very pleasant place to stay.”
