Barney's place is a very comfortable option to stay, even for a longer time. Check in couldn't be easier - the main door was open until 10pm (or until all guests arrived) and there was also the option to use the key from the safe box. Sue greeted us like old friends, showed the place and gave tips on places to eat out.
The hotel looks like a quite typical, charming and well maintained town house. Conveniently located over the bay, with parking spaces nearby, a lot of space for walks, and a few restaurants around, and maybe half an hour walk to Westport town (over a hill, but also with a pedestrian walkway along its entire length). The room itself was warm, clean and cosy, with tranquil window view, private bathroom and a tea/coffee corner with snacks. There is also a spacious breakfast room on the ground floor with a wide selection of sweet and savory treats. To sum up, we got everything we needed for our few days stay in a nice and homely atmosphere. We sincerely recommend it!
