The 16th century farmhouse apartment had lots of character. The modern bathroom and kitchen perfectly balanced the more rustic bedrooms. The location was stunning with countryside and water views. The restaurants and shops in town were an easy walk. Newport is a small town, but a great location from which to see western Ireland. Joan supplied us with fresh eggs from her chickens, which roam the property, as well as bread she baked. I would definitely stay here again and enjoyed getting to know Joan and Peter.
