Greeted with a friendly smile and a warm welcome for our 3 night stay. It was absolutely no bother at all that we arrived in the evening and we were immediately shown to our beautifully appointed (looked recently renovated) double room. We had the best sleep of our 3 week trip in Ireland.
The next morning we woke to the smell of coffee and breakfast being made. We sat for an hour and had a huge Irish breakfast with delicious coffee and just chatted with Shona who runs Ardkeen as if we were staying in her home.
We wished we could have changed our travel plans and stayed one week.
Ardkeen is located a short walk from a small village outside Westport called The Quays which has pubs, restaurants and cafes and overlooks both Clew Bay and the mountain Croagh Patrick. What a backdrop to our early morning walks! read more
