The Roost

The Roost is a beautiful house, spotless, comfortable and ideal for a family get together. 7 large bedrooms all en-suite with comfy beds. The house was large enough to find a quiet corner to enjoy some solitude from time to time. The cosy sitting room, with the wood burning stove was pure comfort on a wet evening for those of us who didn't want to venture down town to the pub. |The large garden provided a safe play area for all the children. The tree house was a big hit. |The Roost is ideally located just a few minutes walk from the town centre. Our hosts Linda & Paul could not have been more helpful, kind and friendly. |We thoroughly enjoyed our week in The Roost & would highly recommend it.

We were lucky enough to stay at The Roost at the end of August. We were there celebrating a couple of big family birthdays and it couldn't have been a better spot to do so. Our group ranged in age from 4 to 70 years old....and despite the weather in the West not playing ball for a few days of our stay, not once did we hear the words 'I'm bored'. A miracle!! As others have said, the house is big enough that everyone has their own space but the communal spaces are also perfect for sitting together. The kids thought they were living in their own penthouse apartment in the top two rooms...and if they weren't up there, they were playing games with the adults, or out in the garden running around and enjoying the treehouse. Sounds idyllic?! Yes it was! The house is spotlessly clean and has the loveliest feel to it. You can tell every detail down to the gift basket, the complimentary coffee, toiletries etc have been carefully thought through. Everything is locally sourced or Irish where possible. Linda and Paul were fantastic hosts and go above and beyond for their guests. The location is perfect for walking into town. Westport has so much to offer and you are also a short drive from Old Head (fab swimming spot), Croagh Patrick(not for the faint hearted) and Achill Island (for more adventure). We also spent a wet afternoon at the Westport escape rooms which were fun for young and old, had a round of pitch and putt at Westport golf club and the kids had a ball at Westport House adventure park. It was a rainy day and they had the run of the place. We would return in a heartbeat!

This was our second time staying at this beautiful 7-bedroom house, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered! The house is spacious, stylish, and spotless, with comfortable bedrooms and great social spaces. Its central location made it easy to explore Westport’s restaurants, pubs, and scenic spots. Linda, the host, is absolutely lovely—so welcoming, helpful, and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect for our stay. Her thoughtful touches made all the difference. We had an amazing weekend and will definitely be back again!

Had an amazing stay in the garden shed. Cozy, perfectly decorated, extremely well equipped. Highly recommended.

This house is honestly the most perfect location for a stay in Westport. Linda and Paul are the most incredible hosts, so thoughtful, nothing was too much trouble. She helped organize a gorgeous lady to help in the kitchen, sourced an early morning taxi, facilitated an early check in......and the list goes on. The house is so tastefully decorated from top to bottom, all rooms en suite, warm and cozy. I cannot recommend this property enough. So perfect for a group or large family stay. THANK YOU Linda and Paul - we will return x

Just spent an amazing couple of days in this stunning, gorgeously appointed, accommodation. In need of a little bit of time-out I was delighted to find myself centrally located yet completely secluded in the beautiful gardens of The Roost. I stayed in The Garden Shed and every detail was so tastefully and carefully tended to. The bed was probably the best I've ever slept in, the quality of the linen and bedding was outstanding. My first night I slept a straight 13 hours, something I haven't done since I was a teenager! Westport is a superb destination for food/shopping/sea-swimming, beautiful drives, it has it all. The cherry on the top was find such great accommodation right in the heart of the town. Don't hesitate to book this super accommodation, you won't regreat it. Thanks Linda & Paul for a really wonderful stay.

Awesome rooms, clean, wiring walking distace of great town experience! Hosts were accommodating.

Spent last weekend at the Roost. Excellent location, 2 minutes to the Main Street. Safe parking. Stayed in a one bed house on the grounds with kitchen living room and bathroom. Very well presented and furnished. The best bit was the privacy. Great base for local touring. Highly recommended.
