Clean, warm (adjustable thermostat), and staff were nice.
Advertised as having a bath - but it did not. The supposedly newly installed shower is small (I don't believe there ever was a bath there). "Toiletries provided" are the cheap, generic, 2-in-1 kind.
Food was terrible, good reviews had us excited but the breakfast was horrible. Oily/greasy, eggs overcooked and rubbery, hash brown inedible - like it was a day old reheated. There were two pots of coffee, one was fine, the other was the most disgusting I'd ever tasted so I don't understand what was going on there, perhaps it was yesterday's as well.
Also advertised was free parking 200m away - it's only "free" if you are willing to risk the fine for not paying. I spoke to 2 different staff members - all the parking is pay& display "but the parking officer doesn't make it down that far very often, and will come into the pub to check on people" - well I guess that's fine if you want to sit in the pub all day and like to gamble.
Another misrepresentation was a hairdryer in the room, so I had to go outside with wet hair to the pub to ask for one and wait for one to be found. Also issues like the front door being a glass sliding door with a flimsy lock made us concerned about security, one window in the bedroom had a broken latch so it didn't fully close, and there was an incessant tapping the entire time we could never pinpoint. Lots of crashing and banging first thing in the morning, bins or kegs maybe? Beds had squishy mattresses which we found very uncomfortable and woke with shoulder/neck pain because of.
The location isn't great either - a couple restaurants (one is weekend only) and shops, but the main area of town is a drive away and very hilly, just to note.
The Helm did not seem like a holiday place at all, most of the other patrons were work-people.
As I said, all staff were very nice, but the place and the stay overall was terrible.

Always a nice place to stay with friendly staff and a good breakfast!
The parking is a bit annoying, had to leave the car a good distance from the property and haul the luggage with us. The front of our car was dented the next day which isn't the Helms problem but a bit disappointing at the end of a nice break
10.0
Comfy beds. Property very clean. Dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, tea towels, tea, coffee and a little milk all provided.
Location was ideal for us. View of the harbour. Nearby places to eat and drink. Nice twenty minute walk into Westport via grounds of Westport House.
Every single one of the staff at The Helm were brilliant and so welcoming.
Wasn’t a problem for us as there were only 3 of us , but not a lot of space around kitchen table to eat if there were more, but to be fair we mainly ate out and the Helm did excellent food!

Apartment was spotless with everything provided for self catering. We had an evening meal and breakfast downstairs in The Helm Bar which were excellent along with brilliant staff and quick service. We will definitely be back when we head back to Westport!
Nothing much... maybe that it's a bit away from the centre of Westport but that wasn't an issue for us as everything we needed was available there.

Wonderful location within walking distance to Westport house. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room. Full breakfast to start the day.
Apartment kitchen was a bit "tired". Unexpected two outdoor staircases to room.

Beautiful location. Comfortable rooms, lovely shower. Well equipped (apart from no washing up liquid), lovely breakfasts.
lack of hooks to hang towels on. The radiator type meant you couldn’t hang them on them.

Great value fr money, great food, lovely friendly helpful staff. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Thanks a million ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If I were to change anything it would be probably just some sort of shelf/ holder in your state of the art shower...just a little suggestion not a fault.
