With slopes, seas and sights, where else would you rather be? As you arrive in the beautiful heritage rich town of Westport, you'll be greeted in the backdrop by Croagh Patrick towering over Westport, adjacent to the calm and sheltered waters of Clew Bay in the magnificent Atlantic Ocean, the popular fishing and sea-angling destination. The Helm B&B and Self-Catering Accommodation in Westport is your starting point to beauty, heritage, culture, adventure, fun and a little bit of relaxation to top it all off. Sounds good?
