Three Pines Apartment
Very well situated for a stay in Westport as it is only ten minutes walk from the centre of town but very quiet and peaceful. Elaine was great at responding to queries and very helpful.
Stylish one bedroom apartment
Such a beautiful apt!!! Amazing location and so clean and had everything needed. Eamon and Lisa were so responsive and the apt was spotless and in an unreal location!! Will be back:)
The Shack
The Shack is such a great place to stay if you're travelling through Westport. Its modest dimensions belie a warmth and cosiness that make it simply ideal for a few-day getaway, and its location within a charming housing estate just outside the town centre mean it's a doddle to reach local amenities or head off on a night out. It's also clean, charmingly decorated and nestled in lush greenery, so one quickly feels at home – Una herself is a class act. She was friendly, communicative and flexible from start to finish. A lovely host all round!
"The Foxden" Apartment in the Heart of Westport.
The apartment is right in the heart of Westport, a stone’s throw from nice restaurants, shops and pubs. And there are fantastic walks nearby too. The apartment was well equipped, clean and comfortable and just as described in the listing. It is easy to access with inexpensive parking very close to the apartment building. There was a nearby pub which was pretty noisy both nights we stayed. But closing the windows muffled the sound, so it didn’t keep us awake at night. Sinead was very responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed our stay here. Thanks Sinead!
Best location Quiet town centre street 2 bd 2 bath

Bright 4bed Townhouse in the Heart of Westport
The best place we’ve ever stayed! The location was perfect, the house itself is beautiful & spacious, and our host, Aneta, was the absolute best! She was very helpful, responsive, and very thoughtful. I would highly recommend to anybody coming to stay in Westport!!
Fantastic sea views and tranquil three bedroom
Extremely happy with Emma’s house. Staying there was the highlight of our trip to Ireland. Huge house, with plenty of space and rooms for a family of four. The Harbour and sea views from the family room and upstairs rooms are extraordinary. The house was clean and well equipped, with comfortable beds also! Wish we had planned more time in Westport, three nights wasn’t long enough.
Sandyhill Guest House - Westport
Nicola's guesthouse is stunning, very modern and spacious. We particularly loved the kitchen and fireplace! Nicola was super friendly and flexible, and provided everything you could need (milk, butter, laundry detergent etc). Highly recommend.

All About Westport
Under the shadow of Ireland’s most sacred mountain — Croagh Patrick — the city of Westport boasts immaculate, tree-lined streets and old stone bridges decorated with blooming flowers that run over the Carrowbeg River. Ninety minutes from Galway on the County Mayo coast, it is a designated heritage town full of important sites and spectacular Georgian architecture, including the impressive Westport House and Gardens, Rockfleet Castle, and Burrishoole Abbey. Westport is also spoiled with beautiful beaches that are just 10 minutes from town. By the foot of Croagh Patrick, you’ll find Bertra, one of Ireland’s best beaches for birdwatching, as well as kitesurfing and windsurfing.
