The Roost
Westport’s Secluded Self-Catering Escape
Moments from Westport town
With the Carrowbeg slipping past
Sits an escape like no other
Where memories are made to last
Lazy mornings over coffee
Long evenings that stretch into the night
The Wild Atlantic Way at your door
Salt air, rugged headlands, open sky
Come home to
The Roost
Just steps from Westport, tucked behind a discreet entrance on the banks of a historic waterway, The Roost is a place created for intimate escapes and larger gatherings alike.
Our main house, The Manse, sleeps up to 14, with two private self-catering retreats set among orchard trees and riverside gardens — as connected or separate as your stay dictates. Every detail — from contemporary comforts to the warmth of its rustic surroundings — has been thoughtfully considered to make you feel right at home.
Voted Best Place to Live in Ireland, Westport is on your doorstep, with the Wild Atlantic Way and Mayo’s most captivating local attractions all within reach.
The Row
Set above the town centre on one of the oldest streets in Georgian Westport, our sister property, The Row, is a historic terrace home carefully reimagined for modern stays. Designed for people who value ease over excess, its interiors balance warmth and character in equal measure. From cafés and craft shops to the Greenway and Atlantic coastline, everything is close at hand.
A Gateway to the Wild
A heritage seaside town and the northern gateway to the raw coastal beauty of historic Connemara, Westport offers a unique balance of connectivity and tranquillity. Its elegant Georgian streetscapes are a lively tapestry of artisan eateries and independent retailers, giving the town a distinctive charm that feels considered but not contrived.
For those with an eye for the unusual, former dancehall-turned antique and vintage store, The Gaiety, has a handpicked selection of curiosities and keepsakes. Art enthusiasts will enjoy Quayside Gallery’s collection of contemporary art, while bibliophiles can linger over beautifully illustrated books, hand-printed rarities and coveted first editions at West Coast Rare Books.
Celebrated for serving up some of the best cuisine in the country, Westport has earned a reputation as a haven for food lovers, with eateries such as An Port Mór and Sage beloved by locals and visitors alike.
Balance the indulgent fine food with a breath of fresh air along The Great Western Greenway. Walk or cycle and enjoy the spectacular views of the Nephin Beg mountain range, Clew Bay, Clare Island, Achill Island and the renowned place of pilgrimage, Croagh Patrick. For a more restful perspective, take in these magnificent sights from the gentle vantage point of the water on a Westport Cruise.
