Very comfy for a one-night stay. The house the hostel was in was very nice. However, noise carries very well and I was kept awake by other guests drinking outside.

What more could you wish for, the smell of fresh bread being made for breakfast, clean large rooms and a large comfy communal area. Staff were lovely and friendly and there was always someone to talk to, plus waking up with a view of Croah Patrick was the icing on the cake. Go there! If you go no where else in Ireland go there!close

Good hostel near the city centre. It's absolutely worth the money. Rooms and toilets are clean and working. Full equiped large kitchen, separate dining and recreating room. Breakfast is good (toast, tea, coffee...)

This place is great! It is a couple of blocks away from the center of the town, and is quietly tucked away behind an old church and is surrounded by trees and a lovely view.

It was really cold. The heater came on at night but never seemed to heat the entire room. The breakfast was rather poor. But the staff was very nice and helpful.

I have stayed in similiar accommodation to Abbeywood, however I could not give any of the others the high recommendation I can give Abbeywood for many things including cheerfulness, cleaniness, value for money. Good Job! For an extra low value point.....I would have loved some soap on the sink...

Lovely location, the grounds are just beautiful. The building itself had a slightly creepy haunted mansion feel to it (lots and lots of character), but we all agreed it was the best room on our trip. Comfy beds, lots of space in the rooms, close to town. Well worth the visit.

Abbeywood was really great. The girl that ran it (not sure of her name) was extremely helpful and accomodating. If I'm ever in Westport again, I'll stay here! The views from the bedroom were amazing!!

They were very helpful in explaining to me how to go about finding things and also how to drive in Ireland (which, given the lack of clear roadsigns is no easy task). The hostel is a great place for a rest, it's both out of the way enough not to be disturbed and close enough to the center of town to be convienient, within a five minutes walk of everything there is to do in Westport. However, while Westport is pretty it isn't particularly scenic or particularly exciting - may not be intended for the young thrill seeker.close

exceptional twin rooms. Hostel neat and tidy great kitchen with plenty of pots and pans. Would prefer to keep this place a secret to prevent the few who leave kitchens in a mess a way from here. Enjoyable stay.

We will go back to this hostel. The main attractions were the relaxed atmosphere and unique environment - real Father Ted stuff. Also, you didnt get the overcrowded feeling that you get in many hostels - beds v. comfy.
