Westport is a very popular tourist destination, both for foreign visitors and Irish staycationers. Therefore, you'll find a wide variety of places to stay. In-town accommodations will present many options, from great hotels spanning a spectrum of prices and luxury, to small guesthouses and fully staffed, traditional BnBs. Airbnb has a large presence in the town and you'd do well to thoroughly search all your options before committing to a rental. Please feel free to contact us for suggestions and/or questions. Of course, your options expand if you plan to hire (rent) a car. Having a car will certainly prove helpful if you plan to tour around the area - something we strongly encourage. In terms of cottage rentals, having a car will facilitate staying in accommodations out of town with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
If a hotel is your choice, we would highly recommend the Clew Bay Hotel. The owners of this family hotel, Maria Ruddy and Darren Madden, were our first landlords in Westport and have become dear friends. Located in the center of town, the Clew Bay is consistently ranked #1 on TripAdvisor and you'll receive very good value during your stay. Our celebratory party will be held in the hotel's bistro/bar.
