Located in the trendy Quay Side of Westport, the Coast Hotel is one of the better-know of the many Westport hotels and it’s a great choice for a special occasion or if you feel like spoiling yourself a little.

It’s just 3.2km from the centre of town but is the perfect place for a seaside escape. The Waterfront Restaurant is one of the main reasons we love this place. The award-winning restaurant and bar have spectacular views over the water and features locally sourced ingredients on the extensive menu.

The rooms at this hotel are incredibly spacious with some even having bay views from the window (it’s definitely worth the extra bit of cash). Each room has a beautiful bathroom with separate bath and power shower, as well as satellite TV and free Wi-Fi.
