Reviews of Westport Woods Hotel & Spa
Y. M.
We had our wedding there in November 2021. Everything was amazing from start to finish. Caroline and Seamus were both absolutely fantastic, the definition of a dynamic duo. 👏 Caroline was with us from the minute we booked our wedding right up until we went home the day after our wedding. She went above and beyond and nothing was too much for her. Seamus was also amazing,he fixed my hair, he sewed me into my dress when the clasp broke. Without those 2 our wedding would have not been the beautiful day that it was. The waiting staff and bar staff did a great job,very happy with the service. The 1 issue was the way the way the manager ,he was the bar manager as far as I'm aware,spoke to 1 of the bar staff. It was brought to my attention by 1 of my guests that he spoke to them in a derogatory condescending manner. I don't agree with that at all,especially when all the waiting staff and bar staff did such a great job, the bar staff were great craic and we were very happy. I would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone planning their wedding.

I can honestly say this hotel is the most beautiful hotel I've ever seen. It has everything and there is so much room it's really great

The best service I've ever experienced from management staff in a hotel. We had some issues when we stayed for a few nights last year, and so rather than leaving a poor review we decided to email with some feedback. The manager (I believe his name was Darren) rang me personally to apologise and thank us for the feedback, before going completely out of his way to ensure we felt the issues we raised were being resolved. He was incredibly accommodating & our expectations regarding response to our email were far exceeded. We're returning to the hotel later next month an are v much looking forward to it, as every member of staff we've dealt with since has been nothing but lovely.

Super helpful staff just out side of the Town.

Stayed here recently and I can honestly say it was one of the best hotels we stayed in, rooms were absolutely spotless and spacious, the food was fantastic and the staff were excellent and very polite and helpful, will definitely be back.

A perfect hotel and resort for a Holiday or an event and weddings. Stayed here for a friend's wedding, which the hotel did an amazing job setting everything up for all the guests of the bride and groom from the ceremony area in the lovely garden and wooded lake directly behind the hotel. They even helped set up the snack and drinks bar prior to the scheduled 4 course meal and music and dance floor as well plus an open bar for afterwards. Also, with a restaurant in the hotel, the breakfast was included and it could not be beat. Everyone visiting Westport should stay here or have their next big event at this location.

Stayed here for two nights. Really enjoyed it, the room was lovely, bed very comfy, staff were very friendly and I can't say enough good things about their receptionist Kay, she couldn't do enough for us and went above and beyond. She deserves a raise. Will definitely come back again.

Really enjoyed our turkey and tinsel break food was delicious rooms very comfortable and clean staff very helpful and courteous all in all a lovely relaxing break.

1. Positive points
Good location, very friendly reception staff, comfy bed and pillows, nice shower, hotel with good structure outside
2. Negative points
Towels and toilet paper of poor quality, the towls were with holes and not white, as they should be from a 4 star hotel, no fridge in the room, old-fashioned decor in the bedroom and bathroom. They were keys instead of a card to enter the room. the front bedroom windows faced the parking lot, taking away the privacy, my bedroom had to have the curtain closed. There should be a notice on the website saying that the Spa is not working, having this information is very important to avoid frustration.
S. M.
I come back to Westport time and time again, yet this hotel is the one I've used most often. Incredible location and most importantly, staff. Cannot recommend highly enough
M. M.
The staff are really friendly and extra helpful. The person on reception couldn’t do enough to help with wifi. The food in the restaurant was basic, but fine.
I. C.
Great big airy rooms, lovely staff & excellent food. We certainly will return again ! Well done to all the staff as their job wasn't easy with full capacity.
N. P.
Great experience great staff lovely food would deffo go bk

Stayed at the Westport Woods Hotel in July 2020 and again in June 2021. The reason we stayed a second time was that the first three night experience was so bad that the manager gave us a voucher to experience the stay again. This is the main reason I have given the hotel a rating of 3 and not a 2. While the second stay was a little better, it still had many of the initial issues. Most of the feedback I had given went ignored. The main issues were around meal times. There was long waits, wrong orders coming out and inconsistent quality. This was every meal. Staff were very friendly and willing to help but were vastly unexperienced. While there was some small positives with the stay, on balance for a 4 star hotel, I would not be keen in recommending a stay.

My Mom and I stayed for one night it was a pleasant stay, staff were friendly, room was clean, comfortable night sleep although room and hotel itself could definitely do with a nice fresh coat of paint, Internet is non existing so if you need it during your stay take note especially on bottom floor....
It's a little out of the centre of westport, but taxi service was very efficient booked by reception for us.
Would stay again tho.
j. b.
Lovely hotel 🏨 and staff very friendly Lovely food 😋 plenty of parking 😉 all good 👍
A. C.
Just home from an amazing 3 night stay, every experience from the moment we checked in till the moment we checked out was outstanding, the staff are 100% amazing, Food top quality breakfast and dinner yummy👌😁💯% our only disappointment is that we couldn't stay longer but already planning our next trip back, thank you all at Westport Woods Hotel for an excellent stay ❤️❤️😊😊

Super super comfy bed. Lady at reception was soooo helpful. Disappointed with breakfast. Full irish. 2 skinny sausages 1 rasher 1 egg. No pudding. Tomatoes were barely cooked and cold. Grounds were lovely. Not a stroll from town its a good walk. Staff couldn't be more helpful
K. B.
Rooms were clean, although a bit dated and in need of a face-lift. Just back from a 3 night stay with my sisters. No Internet signal on the lower ground floor which is where our room was, annoying to say the least. Had to go up to hotel lobby to send or receive messages. The spa wasn't open either which was most inconvenient as we were hoping to get some treatments, they just don't have anyone to run it. No beauty therapists to work the spa (they're all prob working from home earning more money, cash in hand). If we had known the spa wasn't going to be open we wouldn't have booked the hotel. Disappointing. Staff were lovely, just not enough of them. Probably won't stay here again.
B. G. W. &. F. M.
Amazing hotel, beautiful setting, helpful staff. Highly recommend 👌
D. S.
Spotlessly clean in beautiful surroundings. Covid compliant

Lovely hotel great staff great food very relaxing place to have a break will b back soon
R. C.
Was fabulous Hotel brilliant The staff were great They are the most pleasant people you could meet I could not recommend this hotel enough
C. B.
The spa was closed without notification when booking.....service in general quite slow ....needs more staff to run a hotel efficiently .....a small discount or some other concession would have been a nice gesture to entice maybe a future return ....and wi - fi connection was poor only accessible around reception area which only had one staff member on a checkout morning.
Im sure its a work in progress and hope they make plans for all their essential improvements for the future running of the hotel !
In general staff v pleasant.!
Best of luck
Celine !

Enjoyed a short break in this hotel which is ideally located for sight-seeing in the Westport, Achill Island area - excellent value for money and outstanding venue for families with a kids club and swimming pool on site. Food was very good and the staff were friendly, helpful and accomodating. Had a really good experience at this hotel and will return again next time we are in the West.
M. G.
Lovely staff beautiful hotel we had a great stay food was gorgeous

F. R.
Nice hotel in a nice setting and location very dated, cleaners cud do with a refresher course,hotel just needs a makeover, food average, but very friendly staff in a quiet peaceful location, 5 mins walk from the quays and clew Bay, great boat trips, places to eat, restauraunt called d towers is amazing, great scenery down der plus about 15 mins walk to the town, which is friendly, and lively, wud stay again for dat reason,
M. D.
Grounds are lovely and rooms very spacious. Dinner menu changed nightly and food is good.
Not much evidence of Covid precautions - e.g guests not checked for vaccination, sanitisers not filled, etc.
Very poor management
& service re dining -prioritise coach parties over other guests who are left to queue 30-40mins for breakfasts and dinners. Waiting staff clearly under alot of pressure and maybe not properly trained?
M. C. I.
My husband had a back massage with Caroline and said it was the best ever. I was also was made feel so welcome by Caroline who showed me to the relaxing area 😌 had a lovely herbal tea and chilled, will definitely return and book into the spa again 😊

I stayed in the Westport Woods Hotel with my family for a two-night break in July 2021.
Check In was fast and the receptionist was very helpful and friendly.
Room was a family room that had two king size beds and adequate space. View was of the swimming pool building. TV had plenty of channels to keep us entertained.
Bathroom was spacious and my only complaint in this room was the quality of toilet paper. All I can say is “Sandpaper”.
Restaurant was food quality was average to good and the same in the bar. Breakfast was better with a large selection of hot and cold options.
Pool was great and the kids loved it. No changing rooms were available due to COVID so you bring your change of clothes to the side of the pool.
The staff were helpful and friendly.
Location was 20 min walk from Westport but beware, there are a few steep hills to get there and back so be prepared for that.
We thought there was an extensive lake walk at the back of the hotel but this was NOT the case due to some construction near Westport house.
Price was the usual 4 star hotel prices.
WiFi was AWFUL. So much so that it made dial up internet look like 1G broadband. Reception even gave me the staff WiFi passcode but this was equally as bad. To make matters worse the usual backup phone/cellular internet was atrocious due to a very poor signal which was the case with the Eir and Three mobile networks. So if internet access is important to you think twice before staying in this hotel. It’s the only reason why I would not stay here again.
I rate it 3 stars out of 5 due to the internet issues. Otherwise, I’d happily give it a 4-star rating.
N. D.
Lovely Hotel, and great food.
T. P.
Great location, staff and food
The wifi was horrendous and may aswell be considered non existant, I wouldnt mind this if there was service but there is none.
Other than the tragic wifi situation, the hotel is great and full of facilities for parents and children
P. M. F.
Ah sure they’re sound like. Their eggs are fairly decent and the beds are comfortable so you’re well sorted
L. M.
We have just booked our wedding here. Caroline has been amazing to work with!

Fine hotel let down by the quality of its dining.

Friendly staff and nice food, clean hotel with pool 👍

This is not a 4 star hotel. In terms of service, quality of bedrooms and public areas, it certainly is nowhere near it, and it was quite a let down to arrive to same. Very, very disappointed in our recent stay.
After cycling from Achill, we were very much looking forward to our stay.
Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were met with a rude and disinterested receptionist (a lady with blonde hair), not even a hello or 'welcome' were offered. As someone who works in the industry myself this came as a disappointment and a surprise. This is basic stuff.
Was advised there was secure bicycle parking prior to booking, could not find this at all. For a hotel so close to a wonderful Greenway, you would think this would be a priority.
Our room was not a typical twin bedroom, rather a double and a single, not what was pictured when booking.
The room was very dated, so dated in fact that the hotel still uses physical silver door keys. Old doors that ensure noises in corridors can be heard throughout the night.
Despite requesting a room on a higher floor this request was not met, we were actually down a flight of stairs on what I would call a basement floor.
Same woman on reception aforementioned was unsympathetic and unhelpful. Zero care for guests or any form of hospitality.
Not a great first or last impression for a hotel, perhaps may be better suited to a behind the scenes role. WiFi was abysmal throughout our stay both in the room and public areas, incredibly slow.
Would recommend avoiding the 1st floor of rooms, they were of an average standard, more 2/3 star hotel standard than 4 star. Obviously those on special rates seem to get the worst rooms perhaps?
Requested a morning newspaper on arrival on my check in card, this wasn't delivered. Why offer it at all if you can't guarantee delivery?
Dinner in the restaurant was grand, a small selection available from a set menu included in our room rate which we managed to get on an offers site. Staff friendly and tried their best.
Breakfast was average, French toast was poor, standard sliced pan and soggy - again, why offer it if your chefs can't cook it properly. The 'buffet' waiting line spiralled through the dining room with long waits, allowing for no social distancing. Staff tried their best but poor/nonexistent training was quite evident throughout our stay. I really felt for them. I asked for a tray and was given a filthy one, with dried in food. Waitress placed my fresh items on this tray, and only attempted to clean it (failing to, unfortunately) when I pointed it out. Juices tasteless and clearly watered down, food came out lukewarm.
Clearly a lack of someone competent to run the show.
Even at €150 BBD we felt for the quality offered, it was poor value for money. Front desk staff, that one woman in particular, let the hotel down greatly. On their official website, they wanted €150 breakfast only, which I wouldn't have been happy at all with paying.
Overall, it was an average stay - let down by poorly trained staff (many of whom try their best despite this), a clear lack of leadership/management, run down/dated bedrooms and public areas which are in dire need of investment and updating. The paint peeling on the front door and rotting/dirty/fading front signage isn't an ideal welcome.
With close to a year to prepare during the pandemic, people travelling again will and do, understandably, expect much better than this. Once International tourists return, this standard of hotel will be especially unacceptable to the seasoned traveller. Reading other reviews, my experiences are not unique. This should be a clear sign to management (if there is any, reading this) that something isn't working and needs improvement.
There are better hotels in Westport. Would advise going elsewhere to guarantee an enjoyable stay in this wonderful part of Ireland.
Edit: Annette on check out was superb. Lovely to deal with and very apologetic. I have added a star to this review as such.
J. G.
Hotel a bit dated. Staff very professional and helpful. Food good but lack of variety. We all need to be active in prevention of COVID 19 but when you are partaking in a leisure stay how having your drink in your room is preventing me getting the virus beats me.
I would not be in a hurry to return.
B. O.
Food was excellent but service was extremely poor for a 4 star hotel.
M. H.
Great hotel. Close to town and beautiful walks. Staff very friendly yet professional. Food was excellent. I highly recommend it. We will definitely be back.
A. M.
Just got here will let you all know
E. R.
Cosy spot
J. C.
No bar food during the day, breakfast is very plain,no full Irish breakfast the rooms are nice and only a 10 min walk into the centre of Westport
j. f.
So , rooms are a little bit dated but clean.Breakfast was a disaster.Orange juice was watery, no veggie options so ordered beans,egg.Plates came out with bacon on, sent back and came out with more beans, think the bacon had been taken off plate instead of a clean plate!!Tea and coffee were way too strong, couldn't drink.Passed info on to lady in reception who was very nice.
C. B.
Brilliant friendly staff,clean tidy and well organised. Planning my holiday there this year again

Excellent wedding venue . Cannot recommend Westport woods hotel enough to anyone thinking of getting married there . We were lucky enough to have an outdoor wedding on the grounds of the hotel and it was class .the gardeners were down there first thing in the morning making sure everything was tidy .Everyone complimented the food and the staff .. caroline and Seamus made everything so easy for us . Such lovely people to deal with . We couldn't have hoped for a better day . It was unreal

Great family hotel. Lovely food. Helpful staff.

I personally didn't stay here but my mother, my sister, her two children and my two children stayed here over the Easter break. The children had a great time at the kids club and they had a great time swimming everyday. My daughter left her teddy there and they sent it home to her. She just got it today and she is so so happy. Thank you so much. I think it was Mary i was on the phone to.
M. D.
A great friendly hotel with a family atmosphere. We stayed as a group of 40 golfers and friends and we had a great time. Big thank you to the Manager Seamus and all his staff. Each and every member of staff we met were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was any trouble to them. Thanks also to Annette and Darren. We will certainly return here in the near future.
M. M.
Beautiful hotel and location. Food beautiful and nothing too much trouble for staff. Stunning grounds and woodland. Would highly recommend for couples and family breaks. Within walking distance of Westport Town
J. B.
Nice hotel. Room was nice & clean. Bathrooms need updating but only a small thing. Staff are lovely & great food. Nice spot :-)
K. D.
We had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay at Westport Woods in April 2019. There were 6 in our party, we had fabulous food both for breakfast and dinner, great service and very good Country music for the 5 night duration of our stay. The swimming pool and leisure centre was very clean . All the staff were superb and our needs were well catered for. We will definitely be back. Thanks to all for the hard work you do to make our break so memorable and relaxing.
B. G.
Very nice and clean pool, nice staff, the pool is the best part of the hotel.
Mmm
It is currently under renovation so hard to review, we also visited during covid19.
i will visit again
D. O.
Great with the kids.

Nice family hotel, very welcoming staff. Close to Westport town and Westport woods. Nice food and great breakfast. Rooms were spacious, if a bit tired looking. All in all nice stay for the family. recommended
G. M.
Lovely warm atmosphere at this hotel. Staff friendly and efficient. Rooms spacious and comfortable. Spa and pool a plus. Short walk into town near quay beautiful art gallery and authentic shops.
S. L.
We had issues with keys on check in, as did others on that evening. We had to move rooms as keys couldn't be found for the rooms. The food on first night was great and service excellent but our second night was very disappointing. Our server really didn't want to be there, her attitude was terrible. The service that night was terrible, we waited one and a half hours for our main course. They did apologise and gave a cut on the bill on check out. The breakfast was only ok. Very basic and quality poor.
E. M.
We were here staying for for 6 days recently. It was our fourth year in a row. The hotel and staff are fabulous. I can highly recommend this place. Everything was perfect. The staff were outstanding when needed and I can't thank them all enough for their help.
B. B.
My teenage daughter did the Horizon summer camp here. It was a complete success. There were loads of activities and learning a language as well. Would highly recommend the staff and facilities that are provided.
P. D.
Staff overworked@ underpaid.
M. M.
Lovely stay and swam every day. All the staff are very friendly enjoyed it immensely
M. D.
Beautiful hotel. Staff and food very high standard. Stayed with group of 35 ppl. Great entertainment in night. Excellent stay here. Highly recommended
M. G.
Swim regularly with parents.
It's frustrating that they allow classes to go on early in the morning (circa 8am) as it means a significant area of the pool is then taken up by these classes. It's not a big enough pool to offer this service to people as well as paying entry when you can reasonably only use 66% of the pool as one third is closed off for these lessons - expensive €6 when looked at this way.
Staff however are very good.
P. K.
Very friendly staff helpful, very aware of trying to keep covid at bay
E. H.
Great service. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you. The food was always hot and fresh and the soup was amazing (definitely worth tasting). The kids enjoyed the forest walks and the play area at the back of the hotel. Online booking was very convenient and checking in and out was very quick. Will definitely be staying here again next time we visit westport.
G. F.
Love the location. Ten minutes walking either way you are in town or on the quays. Access to Westport House from the hotel. Great walks. Very helpful and friendly staff.
L. R.
Hotel was great and the staff were fantastic but the food wasn't the best
K. O. S.
Nice and clean. Friendly staff. Rooms are nice. Bathrooms need updating but its like a hotel that is being revamped bit by bit. Very child friendly.
D. W.
A very nice hotel. We did happen to go there while there was a wedding on so there was a wait at the bar and the restaurant was quite slow to bring out our meals but the food was excellent. I would happily stay there again. Overall it was very good and i would highly recommend staying here.
O. M. D.
Great location to climb Croagh Patrick or take a walk into Westport. Very clean , lovely staff.
S. W.
Coming here for 17 years! Beds comfy pillows too. Rooms are spotless. Food delicious. Staff are so kind and always so willing to help - and all with a big smile. The go kids clubs are just a brilliant bonus. Westport town - so calm and peaceful. Pubs are fanastic. Music everywhere. We just love it here!
D. K.
Oh a must visit on my list for this summer especially the horse trekking which they organise. I will post photos once I have done this.
M. M.
Really nice staff. Professional and polite. Asked for a room upgrade. (10 year wedding anniversary) got one but it was just a room with an extra double bed??!! Don't want to sound ungrateful. But there are nicer rooms which I know we're empty. Anyway...... Price was very very reasonable. Rooms were clean. Free WIFI. Couple of tiles missing from bathroom, no big deal. Very nice swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Gym was decent. All in all, a nice place. I recommend.
H. S.
WE had a family wedding there. Great experience . Attention to detail 10/10. Staff very friendly. Food devine. Great location. Well done to the staff..
J. S.
Lovely hotel situated on the out skirts of town not far from the harbour and Westport House the meals were lovely
E. M.
Good hotel. Great staff.
Rooms a bit dated and bed a bit small.
Food fab.
Pool and gym are great and spa is amazing with the best deals and offers. I had a seaweed bath and loved it.
Kids had a great time although they where not too happy with the "kids club". Playground could use updating my toddler wanted to play on the frame but it was too dangerous and hard for him to climb alone.
It says free wifi but it didn't work at all.
For the price I payed I would expect a little better quality in most things and I think family rooms should be bigger. Not just be a regular room with a cot and sofa bed thrown in.
a. M.
Nice friendly hotel, extra large family rooms with three double beds plus one single. Clean and tidy. Very good prices for accommodation. Great breakfast
F. M.
A warm welcome, friendly staff, good food and great music 🎶. Great selection of fruit and the usual cooked breakfast, followed by asking, steam and jacuzzi. Really enjoyed the stay. Thanks to Joanne, Michael and the team for a fun filled event 😃
p. k.
Great place to stay, great breakfast and great bar.
Rooms are ready for a refurb but spacious enough.
D. W.
Hotel is located relatively central in the town and has a really nice area around it for going for walks. Staff were really friendly. The breakfast is okay. Rooms are nice, though if you're on the bottom level you wont have any Wifi or Mobile network coverage
F. W.
This hotel is quite rudimentary. Bedroom and bathroom are definitely in need of an update. The rooms have no soundproofing at all. All the comings and goings are very audible all throughout the night. The breakfast is adequate but nothing to write home about. Staff loudly discussing a manager's shortcomings while serving breakfast just feels a little unprofessional. For the price, it is okay - nothing more than that.
L. x.
We love it here. We have been this summer and last summer. Kids club is brilliant gives mom and dad a good break. Food is to die for.
There was a small mix up with the room and the management sorted it quickly and gave us a drink on the house, now that's what I call service.
The bar man Rossy is underutilised, he is a font of knowledge when it comes to alcohol and cocktails. I think he could create a fantastic cocktail menu for any bar. He was a joy to chat to and made us some of the nicest cocktails ever. We will be back every summer.
G. M.
Accommodation was nice. Rooms and facilities were clean. Breakfast was nice with plenty of variety depending of your taste. Dinner selection in the bar is better than the restaurant but food is nice.
A. D.
I stayed at the hotel for a week. And overall the stay was pleasant but there was some issues. The positives were that the hotel visually was brilliant and the food was amazing. It made up for all the closed restaurants around Westport due to the CoVID-19 situation. The rooms were alright. The beds were comfy and I did get a good night's rest. However I did notice there were were some scratches and scuffs on some of the door frames. The wifi in the room was non-existent and the times my phone did connect to the internet, the wifi was veryyyyy slow. It meant that I could get any work done in my room and to top it all off my data wouldn't work well in the room. To get good wifi I had to either stay in the corridor outside my room or work in the Hotel Lobby. Which I didn't like at all. Personally I prefer to work in private and it just felt uncomfortable working in the lobby. So that was a bit of a bummer for me. But if they could improve their WiFi infrastructure so that there is range in the rooms then this hotel would be an amazing place to stay! It's super close to a wide array of tourist attractions including Westport House.
TLDR: This hotel is a good place to stay when visiting. The WiFi range could be improved so that it extends into the rooms and not just the lobby and corridors
D. O.
I really enjoyed the experience here. The staff really was so friendly and helpful. Such an amazing menu set out for our tour group, I had to lick my finger (metaphorical 😃). Helped me sending my post cards too

Lovely quiet 4 star hotel. Great pool, sauna, jacuzzi and steam room. Friendly staff.
M. S.
We went for a weekend away, at the time of booking it didn't sound like it was going to be a good hotel as service wasn't great over the phone. When we arrived they staff were really helpful. They even gave us a delux room instead of a standard room. Breakfast was Inc and it was lovely. Had a lovely weekend away.
M. M.
Breakfast was cold they were kept warm by t lights. Stayed two nights dinner was beautiful but on second night never slept from noise in bathroom behind mirror. Had it reported to duty officer and while she was in the room she also heard it she was shocked also. I have to give Receptionist 5 she was very helpful and welcoming.
K. M.
Fabulous hotel plus when we arrived on Saturday we were greeted by a lady and gent on reception and they were so nice and friendly, made us feel so welcome, good team there...
M. M.
Nice place. Restaurant needs to improve food quality. No prices on restaurant menu. Bar food very nice. Rooms a little out dated. Staff however are very nice. Staff kept knocking at the door for check out at 10am when checkout is 12. This was very annoying.
F. R.
Great hotel food pool garden service rooms well looked after exelent. Will go again.

Was a fabulous venue for a beautiful wedding today. Great atmosphere and food was excellent. Worth a visit.

very family run and friendly hotel staff are extremely helpful and friendly. great kids club but food in restaurant can be hit or miss and service can be slow at times. other than that it's a great hotel for families and location good also.

stayed in Westport Woods hotel in mid June. Brilliant hotel, very clean, staff very friendly. My daughter is coeliac. Staff did everything to provide gluten free meals even allowed us to bring gluten free sausages and pudding and they cooked them separately. Will definitely go there again.

I have been to Westport Woods more than once with my family for our summer holiday. The Wi-Fi is really disappointing but that is the only criticism I could make. The staff are wonderful, helpful and friendly. The restaurant provides fabulous breakfast and dinner experiences and there are on site kids clubs to keep the small ones busy in the evenings. A fabulous location in an amazing part of Ireland

The staff all over the woods hotel r the friendliest most helpful all food is perfect. Thanks westport woods for a great stay
R. M.
We come here every year. Great place for a family break. Food is top notch, staff are fantastic. The bar man Rossy makes amazing cocktails and knows a whole lot about alcohol. The other bar staff seemed unable to cope as well on the nights Rossy was not in if I'm honest. It seemed to us like he keeps the bar going smoothly.
The only reason I haven't given 5 stars this year is the kids club. Every other year it's been fab with loads and loads to do. But sadly this year it was not up to scratch. It seemed very unorganized and the staff running it seemed disinterested in Being there. I spoke to about 5 other families who felt the same about kids club. The large screen for movies was broken too and they have no games or toys or anything you would expect in a good club. And my two kids said every day they just played the same game over and didn't do much else. They refused to go after day 3 and we did our own thing after that. It was lacklustre at best.
The other years we have been the kids club had been just amazing. So we where a little disappointed at this.
Especially because the kids where not happy, and we come to Westport woods because it's a family place. For the price you pay for a break away in Ireland I would expect things like this to be better organised.
Hopefully next year will be an improvement. We will definitely be back. All else is amazing. Entertainment nightly at the bar.
Good food, good staff, nice comfortable beds. I would definitely recommend here for a little break.
G. C.
Lovely hotel, great location, good restaurant and staff very friendly

My parents were staying here and I met them at reception for a chat. It was a cold evening and the reception area was quite cold with no fire lit (despite there being a fireplace). The bar staff were also quite slow (not busy at the time) where ordering tea and coffee. A little disappointing.
C. S.
Lovely hotel everything was great
A. B.
Very convenient to Westport and or the surrounding areas hotel is clean and fresh a nice foyer to relax in bar is cosy and warm dining area very open and nice room are very clean and comfortable staff friendly only 1 thing that they should focus a bit more energy is on the breakfast they are not refilling and freshening up the buffet area quick enough but will definitely stay again as it's only a small matter

Had my wedding here in June 2017.
What an amazing venue.My wedding co-ordinator Seamus was an absolute pleasure to deal with.Nothing was too much. The day ran soo smoothly i did not have to worry about anything seamus had all in hand. The staff were extremly efficent and friendly. Cannot recommend joanne Seamus and all the staff at Westport Woods highly enough some of our guests actually have booked to go back for weekend breaks already!
