This place is AMAZING! The hexagon is really secluded, about 5k outside Westport. It has everything that you'll require for a stay. The kitchen is big enough to cook a few meals and you're close enough to westport to dine out, or just grab a coffee. Actually, Irma provided a cafetière and fresh coffee, along with a number of other homely items...milk, jam, fresh brown bread, rice, pasta, etc. She really is a wonderful host.
The stove fire in the hexagons heats the place in a matter of minutes and keeps it warm all night. There is no curtain or blind on the large front facing window, which makes for a lovely scenic "Irish country" view first thing in the morning. But don't worry, the place is so secluded, all that's looking in at you is a couple of cows!
The bathroom is seperate to the main living area, but it's kinda nice, in a travelling back in time kinda way! The shower take about 10mins to heat up and the water will stay hot for about 3mins, so you better be quick.
There is a lovely 45min looped walk along the road in front of the hexagon, and Croagh Patrick is only a stones throw away, if you're feeling active.
I'd highly recommend Irma as a host and her hexagon as a place to stay. It was amazing and somewhere I want to return to very soon. A perfect retreat to kickstart the New Year.
Thanks Irma.
