Westport Coast Hotel
Freshly cooked breakfast and lots to choose from. We ate in the bar for our 3 night stay and once again the choice of menu was excellent. We will definitely be back.

Castlecourt Hotel
Westport Woods Hotel & Spa
Staff were friendly and professional but unfortunately the room I was first in had a blocked sink and then the second room had no heating. I had a meal in the evening that wasn’t fully cooked and was cold, I did get a replacement meal but overall my stay at this hotel was less than satisfactory.
