    “A remarkable cottage with a warm and welcoming host.”

    We had homemade bread and marmalade on arrival along with a bottle of wine! The cottage itself has a warming fire at it's heart and amazing arrangement of objet d'art and collectables on the shelves, bookcases and tables. It is great location for drives along the Wild Atlantic Way and there is lots to do in Westport with traditional Irish music every night.
