Well worth visiting - Def recommend the tour. A very knowledgeable tour guide brought the house history to life. Half an hour is plenty long enough as you can then roam yourself. Great value

Well worth a visit - We found our visit really interesting. The house is in a most beautiful setting, the tour guide was extremely good, and the story of the house, past and present, is fascinating. We would thoroughly recommend visiting. We also enjoyed Westport town, a pleasant off-road walk from the house.

Fascinating history - We’ve taken the Westport House tour a few times, because its history is fascinating. The house was owned by the same family for fourteen generations, a family that was involved in an incredible number of major Irish and world events. I’ve been on several “Big House” tours in Ireland, and this is by far the most interesting. The town of Westport itself is also full of great restaurants, charming pubs, unique shops (Townhouse and Aodha are quite special), terrific live music, and beautiful walking trails. I highly recommend including Westport and Westport House in any visit to the west coast of Ireland.

A great place for tea. Steeped in history - The guide, Moira, was excellent and gave us an in-depth overview of the history of Westport House. Our tea was also excellent, especially the scones, which ran out quickly.

Would highly recommend - The grounds and house are beautiful and the staff are so friendly and helpful. We had a tour with Moirin and it was great, very informative. Would highly recommend

Amazing tour! - Views were amazing. Staff so friendly and informative, Moirin's tour is well worth the listen. A lovely way to spend the day

A must see - If you are passing through Westport, you absolutely must stop and spend an hour or more visiting this castle with its fascinating history. At 10 a.m., 12 p.m. and 2 p.m., a very interesting guided tour in English is included in the entrance price. A real favorite...

A must do while in Westport - A lovely historical estate a lovely stroll away from the downtown area. The grounds are breath taking and the house is a sight to behold. You can do a self guided tour or be escorted by one of their knowledgeable guides. Learn about Grace O’Malley- the Pirate Queen and the history of Westport. There are a number of activities right on the property suitable for all the family; paddle boats, adventure park and a train however we just did the house and grounds. A must see for a visit to Westport

An interactive gaming hit on a rainy day in Westport! - I had used Tripadvisor ahead of our visit to Mayo to find things to do if it were raining. Westport House with the Interactive Gaming zone was high on the list. We have visited similar activities at home in Manchester, but this one was better by far since it involved kicking and throwing a ball to play the games (which you could play as many of as you liked within the hour unlike the games in Manchester). There had been confusion over bookings the day before so the management offered us a reduction as a goodwill gesture - which was gratefully received. The activities wore out our lively 10 year-old and we also had a great time. The table football/Jenga & Air Hockey on offer in the waiting area were also a hit. We definitely plan to return during the next school holidays and imagine booking early would be a necessity as this is sure to be a winner. Looking forward to taking advantage of the rest of the activities that Westport House has to offer during the summer season. Thanks for a great afternoon!

So much information. - Westport House must rate as THE best historical house to visit in Ireland. With over 30 rooms to view including basement kitchens and dungeons, there was plenty to see. There were lots of information boards to read giving historical details. Staff were very friendly and informative. Some rooms were undergoing refurbishment/conservation, yet were still open for viewing. For example, some rooms had walls partially stripped back or removed, giving a look at the construction of the house. NT in Northern Ireland please take note - this is a marvelous example of how an historic house should be managed for public viewing. I would definitely recommend a visit to Westport House. Best wishes for 2025 when it is planned that the house will be closed for over a year, for major renovation/preservation work. I look forward to a return visit to see what has been done.
