Toegangsbewijs Westport House and Gardens

We at Coyle Environmental Ltd. & Sewage Systems, spent our Corporate Day Out in the breathtaking & historical Westport House back in late August 2024. Westport House were kind enough to allow us have our Company Strategy Meeting in the morning, in the beautiful Mahon Room . There was tea, coffee, pastries and fruit in the room which was a lovely way to kick start our morning! They facilitated a presentation screen which was great for our company meeting and the staff were so helpful when we were setting up our tech. After our meeting, we were given a tour of Westport House. We were brought through it's extraordinary history and were amazed at it's captivating charm. A special thank you to Moirin, our tour guide, who told the stories of Westport House with such character and humour. After our tour, we were able to explore the house and it's many rooms, even it's cool & creepy dungeon! Kathyrn, also known as "The Duchess" was so kind to take some photographs of our company team altogether in the grand library, which was something to behold. For food and drinks, we dined at Gracy's where we had delicious stoned-baked pizzas and smash burgers. It was one of our staff's last day with us, and the staff at Westport House (Kathryn) and at Gracy's were so accommodating with setting aside flowers and bringing out our staff members going-away cake. For the afternoon element, we chose the archery activity at Westport House which was great fun and there was lots of healthy competition. The activity was perfect as it was suitable for all levels and a great way to have the craic with one another. The two workers organizing the archery for us were great, and helped us summon our inner Robin Hood skills! Everyone at Coyle Environmental & Sewage Systems had a great day out. Everyone at Westport House was so lovely and friendly. They run an excellent set-up there and it's clear that the people working there really do care about the history, beauty and heritage of Westport House. I want to give the biggest thank you and acknowledgement to Darren Cawley, who coordinated the whole day for us and helped along every step of the way from food options at lunch to the activities in the afternoon. We were spoilt for choice and Darren made the process of organizing the day so much easier. Everyone was so pleased with how the day turned out (we were very lucky with the weather also!) and we would recommend Westport House to everyone and anyone, especially for those in companies who wish to treat their employees to a really wonderful day out.

We visited Westport House and Gardens on Wednesday October 2nd, and had a fantastic tour around the house. We would like to thank our tour guide Dolores for being a very informative guide as she took us through the history of Westport House and Gráinne O'Malley. We hope to revisit when the renovations are complete. Many thanks! From the Brennan and Dickinson family.

The history of the house is quite extraordinary, and was explained in detail by the knowledgeable curator, having worked there for years. I accidentally left my wallet (in the ‘dungeon’ no less, and was happily returned safe and sound by Breda. Very thankful.
