Great amenities including a large well equipped kitchen with plenty of space for everyone. Nice outdoor seating area for the summer (also a large Indoor area with a fire place for the cooler months). Great location where you can walk to everywhere in town. Plenty of car parking. I liked the friendly cat and dog "staff" as well. Our room with big and bright with a comfortable bed (and not a whiff of dampness that can often be smelled in villas). I would stay here again if I go back to Westport. Don't forget your own toiletries as none as supplied.
