If you are looking for a friendly place to stay while in Westport, why not pay us a visit. We are located just two minutes walk from the town centre, within sight of Croagh Patrick.

So what do you look for in a place to stay? Do you find hotels too expensive? B&Bs too claustrophobic and hostels too communal? Abbeywood gives you the best of all three. If you cannot survive without a phone and a trouser press in your room, then Abbeywood is probably not for you. If however, you are looking for budget prices, a comfortable bed, hot showers, free continental breakfast (home made brown bread, toast, orange juice, tea and coffee), freedom to come and go as you please, private or shared rooms, access to cooking facilities and TV/Video, Internet access and free WiFi all set in landscaped grounds only a stones throw from the centre of Westport, then you are in the right place.
Abbeywood is a former monastery, still retaining many of its original features such as stained glass windows, polished wood floors and high ceilings. Its situation, set in off the road in its own grounds makes it hard to believe it is so close to the centre of town. All the rooms have large picture windows with views over Croagh Patrick and the surrounding town. Having only recently opened its doors after renovations, the rooms are freshly painted, the beds are new, complete with certified orthopaedic mattresses and a brand new shower system has been installed.
Come and visit us today, we guarantee you will be back!
Please note that the mixed dorm contains 10 beds although only 8 beds are available on this site. Also, all groups of 8 or more people are required to pay a damage deposit of €20 per person on arrival, to be refunded on departure presuming there has been no damage caused to the rooms or complaints about noise from other guests.
