The House is located a short drive out from Westport, an easy taxi journey for coming home after a night in the restaurants and bars of the town. The House itself is stunning, extremely well appointed and incredibly well kept. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment, but the real treat is to sit by the open fire in the drawing room (although the place is well insulated and heated even without the fire). The rooms are spacious, and the House didn't feel at all crowded with 8 people. A great day out from the House is to head west to Roonagh Pier and catch the ferry to Clare Island - we even saw dolphins following the ferry.
