ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
A country mansion of old-world elegance, historic Newport House was home for over 200 years to the O'Donnell clan, direct descendants of the fighting Earls of Tyrconnell and cousins of the famous Irish historical figure, 'Red Hugh O'Donnell'. The names of the fighting O'Donnell family are to be found on the Army Rolls of Europe and America, while the last heir of this branch, Captain George Frederick Thomas O'Donnell, was killed during World War One at Ypres in 1915.

This small adjoining town of Newport rests between Achill Island and the mountains of Mayo, close to the wild and un-spoilt splendors of Erris and Connemara. The main hall of Newport House, with its graceful staircase surmounted by lantern and dome is an outstanding feature of the house. Other exquisite features include the drawing room, Regency style mirrors, chandelier and impressive windows, which look out onto the garden and park. Each of the bedrooms offer individuality, comfort and the full range of modern amenities. Twelve are located in the main house, while the remaining eight are located near the courtyard.

Situated alongside the Newport River, where it flows into Clew Bay and within reach of some of Ireland's most beautiful lakes, mountains, streams and moorland, Newport House is a perfect base for enjoying the golfing, fishing and touring delights of the region. Achill Island, Ireland's largest island situated a short distance from the hotel, is well worth a visit. Connected by bridge to the mainland, Achill encompasses dramatic land and seascapes and has provided valuable inspiration for countless artists and writers over the years. There are many archaeological and historical sites on the island including the famous deserted village at Slievemore and Kildamhnait Castle associated with Pirate Queen, Grace O'Malley.
