Westport is one of Ireland’s most charming towns, set against the backdrop of Croagh Patrick and nestled along the Wild Atlantic Way. While it’s a popular weekend destination, visiting midweek offers a more peaceful and enriching experience—especially when you stay with us at Ashville Guesthouse.

Here are some great reasons to plan a midweek break in Westport this summer:

1. Less Crowds, More Relaxation

Weekends can be busy—but midweek, Westport slows down. You’ll enjoy quieter streets, easier access to shops and attractions, and the chance to really soak in the local charm. It’s perfect for those who want to unwind and take it all in at their own pace.

2. Cycle or Walk the Greenway

The Great Western Greenway is a scenic 42km trail stretching from Westport to Achill Island. Midweek is the best time to explore it without the weekend traffic—just you, your bike (or walking shoes), and breathtaking views of Clew Bay and the Mayo countryside.

3. Visit Westport House & Adventure Park

Whether you're a history lover or travelling with kids, Westport House is a must-see. You can tour the historic mansion or enjoy the brand-new adventure park featuring treehouses, zip lines, and Ireland’s biggest Net Park. Midweek means fewer queues and more fun.

4. Enjoy the Food Scene

From seafood to traditional Irish stews, Westport’s restaurants and pubs serve up something for every taste. Dining midweek means no waiting for tables, and you might even catch some live traditional music in an intimate setting—especially at iconic spots like Matt Molloy’s.

5. Plenty of Events & Activities

There’s always something happening in Westport. From guided hikes up Croagh Patrick to local art exhibitions, midweek is full of opportunities to join in without the hustle and bustle. Check out what's on when you’re planning your trip!

6. Stay with Us at Ashville Guesthouse
