The perfect Hotel for a stay in Westport - Stayed in the Westport Coast Hotel have stayed there before. It was a Golden Years special and included Dinner 3 course and breakfast served for five nights. Everything was perfect and the food outstanding. It was very comfortable and close to all major amenities including a walk to Westport House which was lovely and on the harbour with sea views.

A Remarkable Learning Experience - Our guide, Ed, was brilliant. We learned so much about the history of Westport and more-of Ireland, Irish wolf hounds and life today in Ireland. He patiently answered all our questions in by detail. It was a great experience!

Learn about the unique history of beautiful Westport! - Dierdre was a fabulous guide! She was friendly, got to know the group of us a bit and engaged with us during the tour. The sharing of her knowledge of Westport’s history kept us engaged. I was particularly interested not only in Westport’s history but of its connection to the significant events in the greater history of Ireland. She took us to a couple of stores and shared information about the local products they offer. Westport is a special town; it’s beautiful, offers a bit for everyone and take pride in its history.

Make sure to take the Walking Tour of Westport. Look for the guide with a yellow jacket! - We just completed the walking tour with Martin as our guide. It was a sweet culinary delight! The tour was very informative with lots of fun local history. We were lucky enough to meet the owners of several local shops and sample their delicious treats. We so enjoyed Market 57, Marlene’s Chocolate, Curry’s Cottage Bakery, Krem Gelateria & Cafe and also PAX. Martin is a wonderful tour guide and storyteller! I highly recommend

A Walk Worth Taking - Myself, my friend and a small group of foreign tourists were brought on a very interesting tour of Westport town. It is quite a compact town, which was easy to cover within the hour. Our guide was very friendly and welcoming and was very informative about the history of the town and it's current status. This was all delivered in an interesting way, taking account the ages of the participants and their backgrounds. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Westport for the first time.
