Our group had several functions to attend in Westport. It is a little drive, but well worth it. We all were glad at chose Ivy Cottage instead of staying in town. The peacefulness and views made our 5 nights perfect. Taxis are readily available if you don't want to drive. A rental car would be well worth it in order to explore nearby towns and the drive through the mountains towards Kylemore Abbey with a stop for lunch there is incredible! Rachel was an excellent hostess and Henry was nearby if we needed anything. The views from the cottage are lovely and the house is very well equipped!
