Our family enjoyed our stay in Westport at Veronica and Martin's house very much. The rooms were comfortable. We cooked dinner several nights and found the convection oven in the kitchen excellent. The kitchedn is well supplied and there is a good food store nearby. The view out the window of Croagh Patrick and Clew Bay was amazing. We twice did bike rides to Newport and beyond and once into Westport, on the very nice bicycles that were provided. Our recommendation if you want to have a good musical time is to go to the M. J. Hoban pub in Westport. We drove out to Achill Island (Biking out there on the Greenway would probably not leave enough energy to properly explore this magnificant Island). We climbed Croagh Patrick (do it early to avoid the crowds). We explored Connemara and then spent several hours at the museum of country living. The museum was very interesting and convinced us that life 60+ years ago in the area was not easy.
