The Cove Inn

We were 8 rug hooking ladies who booked a package of rooms, meals, happy hour lounge, conference room, taxes and tips for one price, which was a good price. The food was delicious and substantial. The rooms were clean and functional. There was a little carafe of wine in each room, with wine glasses. We left our mess of rugs and wool in the conference room for the length of our stay. We all had a good time. The staff was very accommodating, bringing us coffee to our hooking room and not minding the mess. We enjoyed it so much we have already booked for next year.

Disappointing, we booked a Queen Suite and and although it initially looked appealing we found there was nowhere to sit other than on the bed. There was one small chair that we needed to store our clothes a suite implies something more than jus a bed, there was plenty of space to have included a couple of comfortable chairs. The in room breakfast was also disappointing 2 muffins, 2 cheap yoghurts 2 small oranges and 2 bottles of juice,no plates,no napkins 2 styrofoam cups for the coffee maker with barely enough milk or cream to make 2 cups of coffee, we had to eat it perched on the side of the bed. The bathroom was lovely with a great soaker tub and enormous shower but for some strange reason the electric baseboard heater was running even though the air conditioning was on full, it was over 30 degrees outside! On a positive note we had a great eal on the patio listening to the live music.

We recently had a fall wedding at The Cove in in Westport. From preparations to the day of the wedding, to the morning after, Maureen and the staff at The Cove Inn left nothing else to be desired for our family and guests. This venue was everything we had imagined it could be and more. We had been guests at The Cove Inn for weekend getaways, and day trips for lunch and dinner. The staff never disappoints. Also if you love live music, this is the place to be, as a fan or a musician you are in for a treat. Many of my friends have played gigs there. Something I hope to do some day myself.

We were so excited to book at this place but what a disappointed when we booked in. Our room though quaint and furnished to look historical, was not as expected. There was no TV or clock or radio. And NO closet, just hooks on the wall ! There was no where to sit comfortable inside the room to read or have a snack. Only one antique model chair, not suitable for 2 people. The original flooring was VERY squeaky to walk on at night when all was quiet. The washroom needs updated, no hair dryers ! We stayed for 2 nights and even though no where in the whole establishment did we see any Covid enhancement signs, our room/bathroom was not sanitized for the 2nd night, the excuse being Covid?? We had to ask for fresh supplies for the next day. This establishment shows very well if you are looking for quaint and old European style and only want a place to sleep for one evening. I would not recommend for family or long visit. There is a lounge and bar which has a lovely outdoor patio which is promoted for your entertainment but, sometime it is not what a visitors want. Needs upgraded, the few rooms that have a TV are listed for a higher price . Should be told on reservation WHAT IS NOT included with your stay. On a positive note they do leave a nice basket in fridge with a continental breakfast and enough keruig cups for 2 coffees. The front porch is nice to sit on but we do not pay to sit on the porch, we want to be able to relax in our rooms. Bottom line, cute, quaint but needs a updating.

We absolutely loved our experience at The Cove. Best place for a girls’ weekend to celebrate our sister’s 50th birthday that we put off for 2 years due to Covid. The rooms are bright and clean. The food is absolutely delicious. It’s hard to decide on what to eat. The view and the grounds are beautiful, overlooking the water and Foley Mountain. The staff are all very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Mo is a fabulous event planner with years of experience and a natural ability to think of everything. We had a lot of fun with the music of the band East Coast Experience. Seamus, Mary and Terry and their staff have built a top notch destination in the beautiful town of Westport. We look forward to our next get together at The Cove. Thank you all so much!!
