우드사이드 로지 B&B

Last night, in anticipation of spending some time in Westport (Croagh Patrick, Greenway cycle ) I made a reservation on the Woodside Lodge website. Within the same hour after further research realized the “B&B” does not have on site staff, nor does it provide a cooked breakfast, and apparently they do not have bicycles for guest use. All of these do not meet my needs, and as I mentioned I followed up with an email within 1 hour of making the booking indicating my desire to cancel. My reservation is a week away for one evening of Thursday, April 10th. Following the initial email, to which I received no response, I have followed with several other email requests, and phone calls made directly to the establishment at the phone number listed on the website. I simply want to cancel, and receive a confirmation of such and that my card details (provided to them in the booking) , will not be charged.

Facility is nice but kind of a sterile atmosphere. No contact with host or agent since it's self checkin. Free parking is nice. About 1.5 miles from city center, so you need to drive to get there. Two things really bothered me. First, the lock and key to the room were extraordinarily difficult to operate. Plus, if you lock your door at night (as most guests would certainly do), you need to use the key to open it. What if there was a fire? Second, the bed had a heavy duvet (nice) but no sheet between the duvet and me, even though I asked for one after the first night. The duvet was heavy and very hot, but I can't sleep without something covering me. Result? Three very hot nights, even with the window open. I expect more in a place like this. Would not go back for those reasons.

We found this B&B was in a good location for driving into Westport from the north, arriving late it was very easy to find and no issues with parking. Easy access if driving onto Achill Island the next day too. The room was a good size, the bed very comfortable and clean. We didn't meet the owners, but they left the key out in a lockbox for us. There is no breakfast included.

I had a very bad experience staying here. There was an agressive and unsafe atmosphere in the building. I genuinely felt unsafe here. I would never recommend this place to anyone. There is no on site management of the building so you are really not able to readily contact anyone during your stay in my opinion.

We stayed at Woodside Lodge for two nights in September during a real hot spell in Ireland. The room was comfortable and the location quite. Westport is quite a large town and so it was good to be a 15 minute walk away so we weren't bothered by noise. Breakfast was a stand out; cooked by Patrice, (a French gentleman). He also gave us some great travel tips. Helen was also very friendly. Thanks very much to you both for making our stay wonderful.

Fabulous place! Very welcoming and comfortable house, room and beds, exceptionally good breakfast with a vast selection, very friendly, fun and helpful hosts, all in a beautiful house! Would never stay anywhere else in this area!!
