We accept all types of groups, you name the group and we will do our very best to accommodate you. Our occupancy is a maximum of 52 beds– this can be increased slightly with the use of fold-up beds. Whether it be a family gathering that you have been planning for years, a stag-do and/or hen night to make the most of Westport’s nocturnal offerings, or a getaway exchange for students, we will be able to provide you with an affordable stay at the Old Mill Holiday Hostel, located in the town centre of Westport.
If your booking is greater than 10 people, then you will need to book directly with us. All group bookings are processed via email. This is to ensure we have all the information and that nothing is lost.
Please do not carry out a large group booking on our website or any other site where The Old Mill Holiday Hostel is listed as we are not able to hold a large number of beds without a deposit. A 50% deposit of the entire group is required at the time of booking. For example, if your stay costs €500 in total, you will need to pay a deposit of €250 to secure your booking. This is returnable up to one week before your check-in date. If you cancel less than seven days before checking-in, we will make every effort to resell the beds and refund you the difference.
You will be provided with the hostel’s IBAN where you can make the transfer. Please write the transfer in this way: DPST_FIRSTNAME_LASTNAME_CHECK-INDATE (for example DPST_JOHN_KELLY_26JUN22)
This allows us to easily identify who has paid. The first three letters of the month suffice. The remaining balance is due one week before check-in. This is when you will provide us with the final number for your group and if there have been any changes, the remaining balance will be amended.
Please note we are unable to amend the booking any more after this time.
