Fergal's place was the perfect answer for our family of five with three sons, 16-22. It gave us enough room to spread out and have a bit of personal space after long days hiking, but also provided common rooms to start and finish our days. It had all the amenties we needed or could have wanted (including washer and dryer after some pretty boggy hikes in Ballycroy, and a totally stocked kitchen), so really felt like home. In addition to the place itself, Fergal had a great local helper in Dot, who met us and showed us around to get us settled in. Both she and Fergal were totally available for questions (and answers) during our stay. Finally, the location is great, with the 12-minute walk into the heart of Westport being a good way to wind down after dinner and music in the pubs, but also giving a really quiet retreat and easy in and out for excursions. Will definitely stay with Fergal again when we come back to Westport.
