I stayed in Christine's apartment for 3 nights in July 2018. It is situated on Westport Quay and is in an absolutely brilliant location to explore this area. I received good communication from Christine whilst organising our trip and she was very quick to return correspondence when I asked questions.
On arrival, we were met with keys, shown round the apartment and offered helpful suggestions re local restaurants, sightseeing and pubs. The apartment itself was on the 2nd floor, there was a small lift to get you up there. The apartment was as described having 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an open kitchenette living room area, a small balcony that looks out over the Quay and comes with a designated off street parking space within the small complex. There was a TV, washing machines, cooker, microwave, fridge / freezer and our host had been kind enough to stock up with bottled water, milk and tea ready for our arrival. There was also a welcome card and some chocolate which was a nice touch. Beneath the apartment block were several shops ranging from a General Harbour store, Coffee shops, Cafes, Pubs, Restaurants. Our favourites being The Creel Coffee House which did a great breakfast and The Towers Restaurant where we ate twice for dinner as we enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere so much.
The location allows a good base for exploring the area. It was a 5 minute walk to the Quay entrance of Westport House. 10 - 15 minute drive is Croagh Patrick mountain, which we climbed and had the most amazing views over the beautiful scenery and islands just off the coast. Westport was about a 20 minute walk through the grounds of Westport House however we found that we has everything we needed on the Quay. There is a small supermarket 5 minutes walk away which was very well stocked and reasonably priced.
I would definitely recommend / stay in Christine's apartment if I go to this area again and we enjoyed our stay very much.
Thanks Christine.
