Convenient location, lovely &friendly staff and we enjoyed breakfast!
Very well run b and b. Staff very helpful. Comfortable well equipped room and convenient parking. Good location with nice walk through Westport House grounds into the town centre.
I have stayed at Boffin Lodge in the past and was looking forward to visiting again. I noticed some reviews mentioning that it needs updating and they were not wrong!
General cleanliness of the hotel was poor. The entrance hall windows were filthy, covered in cobwebs and dead insects. Our room simply astonished me! How they considered that to be cleaned to an acceptable level is beyond my comprehension.
All the windows were dirty and difficult to open. Surfaces were dusty everywhere.The curtain rails were almost coming away from the wall. The fitted sheets for both single beds did not fit and rode up during the night making it most uncomfortable. The towels provided had shrunk in the dryer and bunched up at the seams making them difficult to use. The very dated shower had areas of black mould in it. I felt the need to clean everything with wipes I had with me. The toilet was in the worst condition I have ever seen a toilet. The rim was crusted with hard black/brown limescale which had clearly built up over time. The toilet bowl was also stained black/brown.The toilet seat was sliding sideways. I immediately got a member of staff to the room and said it was totally unacceptable. Nothing she could do that evening but she would inform the owner. No apologies given. We had no alternative but to stay there. The following day the toilet was cleaned whilst we were out,demonstrating it was obviously neglected for a long time. I will never stay there again even if it gets refurbished
We had an entire house and it was very nice! The staff were very friendly and helpful and the town was amazing!

Can't fault the service very helpful family run lodge. The room and general decor looked very dated which didn't help the asthetic appeal but once you got past that there was nothing to fault. Overall the lodge was very well maintained, a very good breakfast menu selection. Great location for the Quay area and about a 15min walk into Westport town centre.
Very nice B&B. Beautiful glassed breakfast room. As we were mid-way through our trip, their staff did some quick laundry for us which we appreciated. They ask for laundry that you check in early and give them lots of time since they have their own uses for the equipment that takes priority.
Cute little lodge, breakfast was amazing. Felt like staying at a family’s house more than anything. Was a little far from the town, not walking distance but close enough to drive.
We found a warm welcome, a comfortable room, and - next day - ample breakfast.

This stay was fabulous. The room was huge and spacious with beautiful furnishings. Breakfast was grand with the food and the awesome hostess. Definitely will recommend.
Boffin Lodge is a beautiful property, and we could not have been better treated by staff. Everything is done to the highest standards of cleanliness and hospitality.
