Ruth was a fantastic host! She was great with communication and booking and there was no problem getting checked in. She welcomed me with a cup of tea and the fire to take the chill off. The location is perfect to see all of westport, either by walking or taking her bikes (a big bonus) as you can easily reach the main down town, the greenway, the quay, and Croagh Patrick (climb it, it was amazing!). The room was precious and full of so many nice touches with chocolate by the bed and fresh oj in the morning and museli/toast. Ruth was so great to chat with and let me use her kitchen to do some cooking- provided me with some lovely fresh herbs. She was so sincere and kind and went above and beyond in providing me with a hat and gloves and pack for climbing Croagh Patrick! She offered some suggestions of where to go in the area.
