Disappointed
Good location, shame about everything else. Check in was perfunctory, as was service at breakfast. No hospitality at all. Room was the smallest I have ever seen, like sleeping in a caravan. Beds short, my feet were sticking out and I am 5'6", not very tall! No shelf or surface in bathroom for toiletries/make up. Very clean apart from finding an item of clothing left under the bed by a previous guest. This is an expensive guesthouse and we were overcharged on checkout, only by a couple of euro but still overcharged. Convenient location, otherwise I cannot recommend.

Right downtown in the center of things. Yes, the room is small and you cannot have your luggage open but the room featured an American King size bed! There was a little closet to put the luggage in

Where to stay in Westport
Lovely clean room with attention to detail. Breakfast was amazing with all ingredients sourced locally. Des even made the pork sausages. The owner has a wealth of knowledge having lived in the area all his life. When I go back to Westport, I'll certainly be staying at the Elephant Guest House.

Extremely noisy during the middle of the night. At 2:00 am someone was banging on the door to the premises, which is accessed by a code as there is no front desk or proprietor on premises. They pounded on the door for a good bit of time. Other guests were extremely loud and noisy---very rude--for a good bit of time as well. If there was a proprietor on premises, they didn't do anything about all the noise. We texted the proprietor twice asking them to deal with the noise but never received a response. The room was very tiny, but clean. The ventilation system made a lot of noise--a very annoying and loud humming noise. There was a tea kettle in the room but no cups or glasses.Breakfast was good and location is convenient. We will definitely NOT stay there again.

The place is immaculate; breakfast is wonderful, and Bernie is a terrific hostess. The location is in the heart of the town. Our room was a bit small but that is typical, I believe, in the heart of Westport.

Overnight stay
Advertised on Expedia as a Hotel. It’s a B&B. Damp mouldy smell throughout building. Room small but bed was very comfortable. Lovely hot shower but no hot water in taps in en suite. Breakfast served 8:00-9:30 which is silly or else a ploy for people who want to sleep in and not get a breakfast. Overpriced for what it is. Host was nice and friendly.

Great location!!
The hotel is in a great location. The room was extremely small. No place to even open a suitcase!! We never had the breakfast that was included due to our timing. Very clean hotel. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

No Elephants allowed ...
Proprietor was not available when we arrived and House was locked up. We asked in the Shop next door and he held our bags while we waited an hour. On returning the shopkeeper next to our guest house told us the proprietor came and left again and instructed him to let us in. He was very kind but couldn’t answer our questions about what services were provided / available. That evening I spotted the owner in the breakfast area and entered to introduce myself. He smiled but was very curt and a few times said he didn’t know or couldn’t help us when asked about busses, etc . We were not told there was breakfast included but accidentally found out from others. Also, we had no instructions for the TV and ran out of bathroom tissue and did not know where any more was. When we mentioned this to the owner he told us he would tell his wife because she owned it. During breakfast his wife cane through the dining room but never acknowledged any of the guests eating breakfast. Our bus was leaving in an hour so we said we would be back for our bags shortly and were told to take everything from our room because his wife wanted to clean it and leave our bags by the door . As we left he was busy with other guests and never even a thank you passed his lips. Nice place, very small rooms, clean but lots of rules posted.

Never again
Don't let their photos fool you. The room was so small that we couldn't open the bathroom door without hitting the bed. It actually felt like a slightly upgraded hostel. We could use any light switch in the room without leaving the bed. When we arrived, there was one dirty face flannel/wash cloth on the floor of the bathroom, and one clean one available for two people to use next day. No body soap or gel, shampoo, etc. available. The only available shelf in the bathroom was so tilted that nothing would stay on it. The floors were slightly sticky. Our traveling companions' room lock did not work, and there was no telephone in the room to call for assistance. There was a small blood smear on our sheets, and a large spider web hanging over the bed - the spider having moved to another corner of the room. On the other hand, the breakfast was fantastic.

Top class!
Good value for money. Very handy to everything in Westport town and a good base for exploring the rest of the county. Breakfast was first class with lots of choice. Thanks to the owners Des and Bernie - we would definitely stay again!
