The views were amazing and the house is outstanding. Aiden is a wonderful host. Good location close to Castlebar and Westport. Would definitely visit again!

the house was stunning, and everything was thought of, it was warm and cosy when we arrived. The accommodation is great, gorgeous soft towels, great beds and bedding and everything was provided , it was all in all simply stunning we would love to go back

Stunning house in a great rural location. It was almost a pity that we had to go out and visit the surrounding area. Wee could have easily stayed in to relax for three days! Aidan and Maura were lovely and very helpful. We hope to go back for longer in the future.

We had a fab 3 night break with friends in this beautiful, well equipped house with super views over the lake. I would highly recommend this house for a quiet escape.

Had a fantastic weekend getaway at Aidans Island. The views from this property are spectacular and the house itself is equally as impressive. Very clean and well equipped with all you could need. Would definitely come back again

A really fantastic property in a lovely spot close to both Castlebar and Westport. Perfect for socialising and spending time with friends and family in a beautiful setting overlooking fields and the lake

Had such a wonderful weekend at Aiden’s Island. House was spotless, beautiful and very comfortable. Aiden and Maura were so welcoming and congenial! Only complaint was that we didn’t have enough time there. Hope to come back!

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.

What a beautiful place. We had such a great time. The house is so beautiful. Moura and Aiden are very welcoming. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for having us.

I would go out of my way to stay their again!

This property is a beautiful spacious home with spectacular view of lake and countryside. Our favorite of our stay in Ireland. The hosts were on site and greeted us and showed us through the home. They were very welcoming and helpful. The home was well supplied included thoughtful touches throughout. Plus we enjoyed the company of the resident golden retriever Scruffy. The town of Westport is close by and had many shops and restaurants. We chose to buy groceries and cook dinner at the house so we could enjoy the wonderful view. We hope to return for a longer stay.

This is a special property with delightful views of a beautiful lake. The two front rooms overlooking the lake are spacious with very comfortable sofas. The kitchen is generously stocked as are the bathrooms. Plenty of parking and easy to find with the sat nav. The owners of this tranquil property are lovely people. Nearby Westport is a great spot for foodies with ample choices and we enjoyed some live Irish music. Tip: there is minimal window coverage in the bedrooms so bring sleeping masks.

Excellent accommodation with wonderful view over the lakes. House was perfect. Clean, tidy and all you could ask for. Great place to explore Mayo and the wonderful west of Ireland. Highly recommend.

The property was great! A super spacious and well equipped property, with fantastic views down the hill and over the lake. Many thanks to Aidan and Maura who were welcoming, friendly and helpful hosts. From this spot between Westport and Castlebar we were able to visit beautiful spots inland and along the coast and would recommend this area to anyone who loves stunning countryside, wonderful, interesting and varied coastlines and of course that great Irish cultural experience.

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.

It took us many years and thousands of miles but we found “home” at “Aidan’s Island. A wonderful home with an even more wonderful panoramic view. The rooms are large, well furnished and very liveable. Most importantly our hosts Maura and Aidan are lovely people. They felt like family and treated us the same. If you want to experience the real Ireland with all its rural splendour, this is the place. We’re coming back next year with the rest of our family. Thank you Maura and Aidan

Blown away by the view and location! Aiden and Maura were there to meet us - they live on site( which helps) and were informative and accomodating of our late check in . The photos don’t do justice to this magnificent property - if we had known what we were renting. - we would have stayed longer ! Aiden with his rich brown voice - welcomed us on behalf of/with Maura - his painting is above the fire place - so I asked him if he was famous - he said “no” but it turns out he had played parts in Vikings and GOT! The presence and the beard were a give away ! Nice touches like leaving a “local” phone to get in touch with him if needed ! You will be blown away like fairy dust by this place! Go! Go now!

Aiden and Maura were amazing hosts. They provided everything we could have hoped for and were very happy to help us with the tv. While they live in separate accommodation they did not intrude in any way. We loved hearing Aiden’s stories and would have liked to have spent more time with them. Aiden even provided us with a taxi service when we settled into an unplanned night at a pub in Westport. The views from the house were spectacular.

We had a fantastic stay in this house, the views are spectacular overlooking the lake. The house is so spacious with two huge living rooms. The bedrooms are very comfortable and have plenty of room as well. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you will need. Aidan was so welcoming to our family, even driving to town to direct us to the house. He was very kind and gave us lots of helpful tips for the area. We would highly recommend this wonderful house as a base for touring the surrounding area. Our family will definitely be back to stay here. McLean Family

Myself and 5 of my friends had a very enjoyable weekend away here. The house is amazing and very spacious (it comfortably fit the 6 of us), with spectacular views looking out onto a lake. Aidan & Maura were the perfect hosts. Maura had some delicious scones made for us when we arrived and at night if we wanted to go out to the pubs, Aidan would offer to drive us into Westport to save the trouble of booking taxis. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough!
