Ardmore Country House

From start to finish - perfect!!! Room size large more like a suite - bathroom that has n separate shower a bath is a bonus / breakfast tasty - service excellent- staff friendly n engaging without being too much - an absolute must

Positives Good bed, clean room, large room, daily towel change, ample parking, views, Negatives All round fawlty towers experience The owner was inflexible when asked about basic needs. My wife is visually impaired so we asked if it was possible to have breakfast on one of the tables by the window each day as the rest of dining area was quite dark. She said that she wouldn’t guarantee that. The landing lights that led to our room were often not on so we asked if it was possible to have them on so that my wife could see the stairs. She said that they were on a timer. When questioned about changing the timer as the lights were randomly on and off over the next couple of days she said that we should tell her what time we leave our room and return and she will turn on the light when needed. I would have been happy to pay the extra few cents to run an led lightbulb all day but that wasn’t going to change her approach. We were offered a smaller room on a lower floor which was darker than the one we had instead of leaving the light on for us. Breakfast choices were limited and asking to mix items on the menu was met with a frosty response. Even changing our drink order (tea or coffee) or toast order day by day seemed to be met with disapproval. The shower in the room was next to a sloping roof so it was tricky to climb in and out of. As you can see, our issues are more about the owners than the property, to the point where it was easier to avoid any discussions due to the frosty unhelpful responses. Also if you have any access needs be prepared to wind your watch back 50 years on arrival as any slightly off piste simple request will be frowned upon.

This wonderful establishment, provides the most comfortable accommodation. It’s hosts, Pat and his lovely Wife, go out of their way to ensure that all our needs were catered for. Breakfast is plentiful with a huge choice. Clean and well maintained, this tradition Irish Hotel, is perfectly located, being a short walk to the local amenities. The Hotel is elevated, providing views over the water and the Mountains. Relaxation In abundance!!

We had a lovely stay here. It was very clean and spacious and the beds are comfy. Staff are friendly and helpful - we had a problem with our room key and they fixed it right away! Breakfast was great with a varied choice. Westport Quay is a lovely place to stay with quite a few places to eat and drink if you didn’t want to wonder into Westport, however it’s a only a short 20mins walk if you do! My four stars is because I do feel that the decor is a old fashioned - however that’s just down to personal taste!

Beautiful country house hotel in a tranquil setting between Croagh Patrick and Clew Bay. Breakfast was freshly prepared each morning and was delicious. I had the porridge and fruit compote and tea and toast. My partner had cereal and poached eggs and bacon, although he was tempted by the pancakes with maple syrup. The host , Noreen was very attentive to our needs and made us feel relaxed and welcome. The rooms are large and we had a view of Clew Bay fro our window. The house is a short walk to the harbour where there are bars and restaurants and you can watch the sunset.

We stayed for a couple of nights in Westport at the Ardmore Country House Hotel. It was great, the location, room, food and in particular our hosts. Many thanks for the top tips on where to go to make the most of our short stay! Much appreciated!

We stayed 3 nights in a front facing room, with views over Clew Bay. Our room was very well furnished in a style of old grandeur. Indeed everything in the Ardmore reflects days of old in the nicest possible way. There is a bar, but it is on request and lacks atmosphere, as on our only night there we were the only people present and we felt that we were keeping the owner from retiring. Breakfast in the dining room, was very good, well cooked and ample portions. There is no restaurant on the premises, however an offer of cooking us something was made, but declined. Overall satisfactory, but a tired elegance.

We stayed in Ardmore House over the May Bank Holiday weekend, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Noreen,who is always smiling and so helpful. The accommodation is so clean and beautifully decorated, The room was cosy,warm and spotless with beautiful views of the water, the bed was really comfortable and bathroom really spacious. Breakfast again was really well received with a good variety of choice taylored for all. Noreen and her family are quick to make sure you have everything you need, also homemade scones are offered as a treat to enjoy later in the day and was a lovely touch. We had such a great time in Wesport and the relaxing stay at Ardmore made our holiday just a little more special, we will definitely return.

Never came across a hotel that listed the inventory of the room on the bedroom door…..this meanness of spirit carried through to the breakfast ingredients..cheapest possible,coffee cold.Ask d for peanuts or nibbles to go with my drink..was brought a biscuit of the type on hotel bedroom trays…..2 small shampoos for two people for two days..had to ask for more….this is not a country house hotel..it’s a B and B .Staff lovely but owner odd
