36 SEAT VIP TOUR - A Six Day, 4 Star Break to the Emerald Isle. Westport is situated on the West Coast, on the Edge of Clew Bay, surrounded by stunning scenery.
We have our first night at the 4 Star Talbot Hotel near Dublin, 3 nights at the 4 star Castlecourt Hotel, Westport and our final night heading back to the ferry is at the 4 star Trim Castle Hotel in Trim, renowned as one of Ireland's most beautiful towns.
Our main base is picturesque Westport on Irelands West Coast on the edge of Clew Bay. Surrounded by magnificent scenery, Westport is a town on the edge of an Atlantic inlet. In the Georgian town centre, stone bridges link the tree-lined promenade on the banks of the Carrowbeg River, it is one of Irelands most charming destinationswhere Georgian streets, lively pubs, and colorful shopfronts meet the wild beauty of the west. Rich in history, with nearby Westport House and deep cultural roots, the town offers a vibrant blend of traditional music, warm hospitality, and fresh, locally sourced cuisine. Whether you're seeking relaxation, heritage, or excitement, Westport delivers it all with a warm welcome and stunning views.
Trim is a small but welcoming town, with traditional pubs, cozy cafés, and local shops lining its streets. It retains a popular destination for day-trippers from Dublin or travelers exploring Irelands Ancient East.
The highlight of the town is undoubtedly Trim Castle, a massive 12th-century fortress built by Hugh de Lacy. Its unique design features a large, cruciform-shaped keep surrounded by curtain walls and a moat. It also gained international fame as a filming location for Mel Gibsons Braveheart.
