Ireland at it’s best!

We brought our son and dil and 2 grands ages 20 and 11. The house and property were perfect. Aiden was a terrific help in guiding us to local attractions we otherwise would have never experienced. He was just a phone call away when we had a question. We would recommend this rental 100%.

A family fave

This is the place to stay! Breathtaking views from almost every room in the house. If we weren't pressed for time we all would have been just fine enjoying the views and serenity of the house. It's perfectly located to 2 towns only minutes away with a lot to offer. Aiden was very friendly and offered fantastic suggestions for live music and exploring. Hope to make it back on our next trip whenever that may be.

OUR BEST ACCOMMODATION IN IRELAND!!!

We stayed in 7 locations in Ireland and without question, Aidan’s Island WAS THE BEST! Aidan and Maura are outstanding hosts who have the gift of hospitality. Sitting in the Vaulted Family Room looking at the lake from Aidan’s Island and the views across the valley is simply unbelievable. Our only mistake was not staying longer. DON’T MAKE THAT SAME MISTAKE! THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME IS THE PERFECT LOCATION NEAR BOTH CASTLEBAR AND WESTPORT.

Marvelous house!!

We loved the hilltop location and the beauty of this place! The house is gorgeous and very spacious!! The owner, Aidan, is a delightful host! Our one and only problem was a lack of written instructions on the washer/dryer. I’m not sure if it was our fault but the laundry took forever and came out VERY wrinkled. Still, you loved this place and would definitely stay there again. Hopefully for a longer visit!!

Beautiful Home Outside Westport

Beautiful home! Aidan is a friendly and responsive landlord and ready to help with any issues. The home is clean, well layed out and well stocked with the usual courtesy supplies such as tea, coffee, milk, etc. The view is great and the home is very comfortable overall. The only issues were location; it you use GPS or Eircode you can find it. If you do not, it is fairly difficult to find. Additionally, it was not exactly clear from the online description that there is a dog kennel with multiple dogs just 30 feet or so from the home. If dogs are not an issue for you - you will be fine. However, I would stronly reccomend that the write up on the property be expanded to clearly indicate this situation. The brief passing reference to the dogs does not make it at all clear how very close they are to the house. Overall, the stay was enjoyable and Aidan is an excellent host.

Thank you Liam for your kind review, and also the mention that we have our two Irish Wolfhounds, Spéir & Máirtín (and a little abandoned dog, Pippin) in a pen on the property close to both Aidan's Island accommodation and where we also live. I will update our site to make this abundantly clear, as you have suggested. We both thank you for your positive input, and wish you all the best, Very kind regards, Aidan & Maura

We wish we could have stayed longer!

Aidan and Maura were by far the best hosts I have ever had with VRBO. They made our stay just as perfect as we had hoped. The house is a dream and the views are fantastic. It was hard to leave and go out “touristing”. We were in dire need of clean laundry when we arrived and Maura quickly took care of it for us! Aidan was full of information about local things to see and do. The kitchen is very well equipped. We found some staples in the fridge and even an apple tart. Aidan and Maura even went out of their way to supply us with bags of ice cubes! The house also contained lots of maps, guidebooks and brochures for our use. On top of all this, they lent us a local cell phone to use. It took us about 15 minutes to drive into Westport, so we had a city nearby but enjoyed the country quiet. Aidan and Maura’s dog Scruffy came to visit us and then it truly felt like home away from home. My niece only had one suggestion: she wished for hooks in the bathrooms. I would have loved to stay longer in this beautiful house. Maybe next time? Thank you again Aidan and Maura.

The house is very large and the views are beautiful! The host lives in another house on the property. He does have some large dogs that barked/howled a few times at night or early morning. It wasn't prolonged and didn't really bother us. The floors in the house are also very creaky. I thought the bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable, but my wife thought it was a little too soft. We really enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend staying there, especially with a large group.
