I organised a golf weekend for the Drum Bar Golf Society through the owner Vinny and his son Shay. They were more than accommodating and brilliant hosts. The staff couldn't have done enough for us. The food was 5 star. Really excellent. The accommodation was good but there was some difficulties with lock on doors and noisy extractors outside. Other... More

We were a group of 6 who stayed in the Helm apartments over Easter. Fantastic experience from start to finish. Friendly staff, welcome basket of essentials (yes, including wine), spotlessly clean & a fantastic (plentiful) breakfast. We had lunch here one of the days and the food was great, amazing chowder. Highly recommend The Helm.

We had the pleasure of staying at this great place when we visited Westport for our brothers wedding in April this year. Couldn't have gotten better service. Food excellent - huge meals, great atmosphere, excellent accommodation. Wish we could have stayed longer. Will certainly be staying there again. Well done Vinny & Shane.

One small niggle is that they could possibly be better insulated for noise rather than heating. Maybe Not ideal for super light sleepers or... More
