Having 7 acres of native woodland around the hotel made developing our new adventure area a real pleasure. Look down on hundred year old trees from the top of the ropes section. You'll see Westport House lake and the house itself, built on the site of Granuaile's castle, stretching out in front of you. Follow the river back to the town centre. Wow, what a view!
