Thanks for that. Harbour mills got very mixed reviews, not that important though as we're only using it as a base, but for the money (312 for 3 nights- 3rd being "free") you'd expect better reviews ( or should you ?). Googling Clew Bay View B&B gives no relevant results, do you know if there is a website ?
Also, the weather looks to be very unsettling over the weekend and I know my mate will push to climb Croagh Patrick whatever the conditions( he's an experienced climber, I am the opposite) and I would need to come up with some alternative daytime activities around ( 50 km radius or so) Westport, any suggestions?
